F'ing CARB!
 
The maximum allowable limits were lowered since the last time I had the Cobra smog tested 2 years ago so the Cobra failed. I had to install new cats, cap, rotor and plugs and it just barely passed. I hate CARB!

I've heard mixing in meth will help. I wonder if you ran some race gas if it would run super clean.

And yeah, fuck carb.

They actually nailed you for only having 2 cats on the car?

94cobra69ss396 09-08-2011 03:11 PM

Everything was low except HC. Max allowed at 15 mph is 59 and I had 57. Max at 25 is 34 and I had 34.

No, he actually said something about that but when he looked it up in the book it showed that I only had to have two.

I've never had it not pass and I like being legal. There's no need to find a crooked shop when I can pass. I'm just not happy that it is barely passing. I may need to do a cam swap to one with a wider LSA. The E303 has a 110 and I think it would do better with one in the 112-114 range.

oh ok lol

Shaolin Crane 09-08-2011 04:04 PM

Not alot of cams with the lift and lsa you're talking about, ive been looking ands its not promising, suppose you could degree the e303 to 112-113*

Dropping a few hundred extra isnt fun, hence why the new car is all legal, basically ripping off Ron's car, not very promising seeing him fail though.
