damn. That's how AZ is. (dude's at vivd were telling me) Every other 240 has a SR20 swap and some places don't even do smog.

CELs turned of via ECUtek or AccessECU ... CHECK !
resistors in place for removed O2 Sensors ... CHECK


1) pull up to smog shack
2) plug in OBDII
3) run car
4) no CEL
5) "Here is your pass certification.. have a nice day"
6) Giggle

doesn't disabling the CEL negate the need for hacks like a resistor?

First of all... thats a common swap in the truck that i have.(without the turbo)
and
quite a few things wrong with those pictures...
1. 'm3' style mirrors
2. motor is just sitting in there, and has been for quite along time...nothing more.
3. ummm..... 'lambo doors' are you freaking kidding me?!

the pros of that...
1. the motor would respond rather well to stupid 'small' mods.
2. great gas mileage. (considering a z06 gets high 20's in 6th gear..i know its not the same trans..)
3. torque...need i say more?!

Updates on the truck..
We just ordered my last cam gear today. Which wont be in until early next week.
All the cam gears are off of my motor, BY HAND DIDNT EVEN STRIP THE HEADS off of them. plastics will be in tomorrow. Need to either send the UP and DP out to crucial, or just wrap them in insulation. Then check the valves.

If anyone needs a 4EAT let me know, I have one. 80k miles on it.
thats about it for now.

the daily driver rims = cherry bloosm red

the truck CGM or some other sort of silver.
primer is fun though. All the door dinging F*Tards. Or better yet, my doors and tail gate just got shaved. And all the stock 80's OEM vinyl all over the car

primer all over car > spotty primer.
