How many miles since the rebuild?
Well it depends. Did he mean he just slapped a K&N Filter in his airbox? Because thats what I interpreted it as.

Gold Shield station i'm trying to save monies to open my own test & repair station. that's why i sold my FD. it was either sell the benz, kick the gambling addiction, or sell the FD. choice made through critical thinking

Very cool by the way. Hey, I've got some high flow cats that a rotary shop put on for me, but I don't know the brand so I don't know if they're CARB certified. Obviously theres no CARB sticker on them, but do you think I'll pass the visual based on that alone?

Well I'm sure somewhere between the Mercedes, the RX-8, and the EVO (IX is my favorite by the way), you can cope with the loss of the FD

as long as there's a cat on there, it's fine. on OBD-II cars, they MUST be OBD-II compliant cats or we flag them.

i HIGHLY regret selling the FD. especially comparing it to the evo9. i love the handling, but it's just way too damn slow. turbo rotaries can run circles around me on the freeway. The benz is just my vegas mobile...gotta roll in status! RX8...gotta keep it real and stay rotary

the "TEST ONLY" facilities are known for lack of knowledge. they're usually the techs that one to a 30day course in getting their smog license. often frowned upon, but good people in the end. we often wish those facilities had knowledge & experience as Test & Repair/Gold Shield stations.
