I know exactly how it happened. Some d-bags decided to block the ON-RAMP onto Mopac (one of the main highways in Austin) while arguing over an accident they just had.



I went on the shoulder to go around.

All the trash collects just outside of the painted lines. That's an area I try my hardest to stay away from.

HKS on…coming from a Tomei, wow. So tame and refined on startup and while cruising, but on WOT, a nice deep growl. A true gentlemen’s exhaust.

State inspection today, so im un-taping my haltech dash that way they dont get confused. On that note, i noticed that the OEM odometer ticks faster than what's recorded over OBD-II

Nissan Shenanigans?!

Some counties do an OBD-II test. I never had any issues going to the dealer in Round Rock or when I did live in Austin proper, but I guess they added Williamson County to the list.


I bet if you actually smog my car it'll pass with E85 and HFCs. I'll see about getting it tested elsewhere or getting the readiness monitors turned back on.

You're preaching to the choir. I'm in Commiefornia I know my car would pass a sniffer test on e85 and mil spec cats but as soon as you do the obd 2 test it fails because of the monitors that aren't ready

I got the extended bung on my test pipes and passed the test just fine in that regard. I failed because the compressor on my horn crapped out

New horn (with warranty) should be here tomorrow
