I made it through emissions in my rx8 with a resonated test pipe and it was throwing a code. I did a battery disconnect just before entering the station and they hooked it up during the reset period when the cel was not on. It passed. Light came back on while driving home but i was good for another 2 years. And that car smelled like crap at idle. I took my passing emissions sheet and ran.

I too was worried when I went for my emissions test last month. I've got non res TP and no CEL (tuned by AAM), but the idle smell is pure race car. Passed no problem.

Hey I'm planning to get tuned at Hill's Next month what maps are you guys running? Does frank have the latest throttle maps or should I bring them to him? I'm guessing Hill's is the placed to get dyno tuned.

Well had a "meet" on Saturday in Fair Lakes with Emily and Ray (white 13 or 14 SP/T I think?). Two Z's and two 5.0's.

Weaksauce... we can do better than this.

It used to be so active. I went two times in a row and only one or two other people were there. So now I only go when more than three or so confirm.

Sorry, would've been there, but my dog decided to eat razor blades the night before.

Yikes!!! Hopefully the pup is okay

Is simply clearing a code/unplugging a battery really that unknown? I've done that several times for cars - my Z included (which was reading P0420, indeed), and my wife's Camry (same thing, oddly enough).

I thought EVERYONE did that...
