Well, I just got back from the aircare station off boundary and it passed. Crazy, they put the mirror under the car... obviously not paying attention because they didn't notice that there is nothing that resembles a muffler or cat under the car. So I drove up, they hooked up the the side pipe and tested it. This car spews a little smoke from 5 to 20psi, but they didn't get on it enought to reach 5 so all is well. Dude running the car was more interested with the sound of the turbo than doing his job.... :roll:

Opacity was 9.72 for Vehicle Reading and 6.90 for Average Passing. I have no idea what the difference in those two values is.

It must mean your car is above average :lol:

Hey, good to know it passed. Did you do anything to prep it?

That average number refers to the average score of vehicles in the same test category as yours, so your a little worse than average, but still only at 9/30 of the max opacity score allowed.

This is why I'm totally suprised; I did nothing to prepare the car. Since putting it together with a pump'o'Giles, all I've done is turn up the max fuel a quarter turn. That's how I took it to aircare, LDA connected and everything.
