I just looked at the smog printout for the Cobra and the max for 15 mph was 59, the max for 25 mph is 34. What speed was the 61?

The levels have to be based off of a stock model.

I highly doubt that my '94 pushrod V8 was cleaner than a 2007 DOHC L4.

I dont. Top fuel dragsters burn clean with no smog equip. The aveo engine was designed to keep costs down, your engine was designed better.

Just because it has a 1" throttle body and doesnt use much fuel doesnt mean that its burning it all.

Pretty good overall for an engine that was abused. Only low mph HC is concerning and who knows what the root causes are.


Did put in my paperwork today at AAA and got my sticker, so it's street legal (minus all the shit that isn't like no right turn signal, broekn windshield, etc.)

Re: Turn Signal
Took out the headlamp and there is no socket for the turn signal bulb and now connector to the socket from the harness. The harness pigtail was just turned back into the chasis, so I'll have to locate a socket and connector and wire that up.

Will get the windshield done at Pick A' Part and the Fender is coming.

They sell universal sockets at Kragen. The C3 socket is the same one thats in an S10. So I wouldnt be surprised if you found something.

The guy who did mine said the high HC is due to ignition and said that if I had the MSD box working they would have been lower. However, he also ran the 25 mph in 3rd gear instead of 2nd which would also have lowered it.

Picked up the fender today. As I feared, it's not the same color, more of an aqua than the blue. So, I'll need to get it matched.

enkeivette, hook a brother up?

I did get a new windshield on Tuesday. Pick a Part glass dude die a fine job for $120, new glass. All other quotes were $150 and up.

Also ordered a set of OEM hub caps. Kind of expensive at $70 for the set shipped, but the ones that are on are literally destroyed and look like shit. It's this kind of stuff that makes a big difference in how the car comes off to a buyer, so while trying to keep the costs down, gotta make it a little prettier.

I got the Aveo running for me pretty good. Put more than 1k miles on it. Sold to employee, blew HG first day, overheated and nearly melted top end. Maybe it was just that crappy fan connector, but I think it happened while driving around normal so who knows. Of course I took it back, not gonna stick that on an employee. But in any event, I'm done with that Christine POS. Fortunately ls1z28 will take it as parts car trade for doing the engine swap on the Miata. Yeah. That happened too . . .

Kind of burnt out on cars right now.

Damn That sucks.

Sorry to hear that Ben. At least now it is gone. What happened to the Miata?

Somehow it leaked out enough oil without me noticing to lose a main bearing.
