Passed Smog!

So stoked....all the work getting my LGT ready for smog and it made it.

Here's to two years to being able to drive the damn thing legally!



Mods:
TGV deletes
740cc injectors
VF37 turbo w/ gutted top cat in OEM downpipe
perrin inlet
GST tune
FMIC
AVO Intake

Smogged w/out the fmic and avo intake hooked up..used stock TMIC and air box.

First sniffer test was a fail, so tech had to rev for 3 mins at 2500 rpm then did sniffer again and passed.

first autox with it next weekend too!

I find it amusing that you removed the one mod that is legal.

The law is BS Paul, some laws say u can change it and have a CARB Sticker on it, but u will also run into laws that say if u do anything to any part of the car is against the law. My roomate and friend works for the CHP and is in the street racing unit has documents that show any say if your car did not come with it from Subaru the car is not compliant to be on public streets. Trust me my car is well past street approved.

Oh, I'm not trying to argue with what a cop will claim is legal/illegal.
But, once at a smog station or referee, the CARB documentation is all that is used...and according to them, fmic installed on a tmic equipted car is legal as opposite -sex marriage.
A few years back, a sric member was given a ticket for the OEM Hood scoop !
