There is definitely a radiator leak. Or some coolant leak around a hose to/from the radiator on the driver side. But it's moderate, so I'm not going to worry about it until it passes smog.Then I'll pull it have a rad shop check/fix. There was/is literally sand/dirt setting in the reservoir from somewhere. Probabbly a leftover from when the car was sitting with an empty rad.

Returned the unnecessarry ECU. Looks like LKQ has a fender in the right color in oregon for $125. Once I pass smog I'll turn my attention to cosmetic stuff. Unfortunately, LKQ doesn't carry trim pieces, or air dam, etc. So there might be a moderate amount of rooting around to make it look good.

New muffler came in today in just enough time to race down for a Smog test. It passed! It's pretty clean on everythign except HC, which remain highish, but in allowable range. (54 ppm where 61ppm is the limit and 4 is the average.) Maybe it's just the computer still sorting out fuel trims, who knows. After muffler and smog, put on some new front tires to match the rears, so it has a decent set of shoes now. Now it's on details, like a new fender, windshield, getting the passenger door to open and so on, but it's getting there and will all and all be in very good condition when I'm done.
The Fender, which is in the right color, is only $125. Pick a Part will do windshield for $85 if they can find an Aveo, $120 with new glass. Probably just a couple weeks until it's ready for sale. I'll drive it a little bit myself first to make sure that I'm passing on something in total good faith.

That's because they want your 19 year old car off the roads.

I don't know, but it might be a combination of all the emissions depending on car and engine type and remember this car gets mid 30 mpg pretty easily so total resource consumption (fuel economy) might factor into the rules. But I don't really know.

My basic life philosophy is the golden rule, and if everyone did it to their ability, this place would be pretty much perfect right now as far as human interactions were concerned.

The Cobra prob just had a much more efficient design, better combustion chamber and higher compression equals better combustion and less waste.
The levels have to be based off of a stock model.
