.RJ Wrote:Octane booster = junk.Yeah, it's junk; I thought that was the stuff being referred to about guaranteed passing. I'm ignorant in this area cuz I've never had to work with it.
Kaan's busted pile needs a new cat. Autozone also sells some stuff marked "guaranteed to pass" that you pour in the crankcase.
Can somebody find/photoshop a LOLcat for this thread?
Perhaps a cat sticking from a tail pipe saying "I'm in your exhaust, eat up carbons!"

The only way to do that is to drag the CRX out in the field and shoot it like a lame horse.
Then light it on fire and get out the hot dogs.

It's widowmaker time!
- Kaan - 10-01-2007
fuck the root of the problem... i just want to pass for the next two years
- HAULN-SS - 10-01-2007

says the guy with the commute that is how long?
- HAULN-SS - 10-01-2007
1:15
And I average 27mpg to work this morning (not bad considering I average 28 on the interstate)

:?: wtf does kaan's emissions have to do with derek's commute?

long commute = lots of emissions.
- HAULN-SS - 10-01-2007
I'm saying "I don't care too much about emissions"
I think you misunderstood.

i did... i didn't think you were actually dumb enough to not give a damn. my bad!

i go through less than two tanks of gas (8 gallons each) to get to and drive on track each event. couple that with my ~18 miles of driving per week, and i'd say i'm doing my part.
yes, my civic has a cat, and i'm quite sure it'd pass emissions (stock '96 integra motor?)
- Apoc - 10-01-2007
...but it's registered in Harrisonburg so you don't have to prove you're doing your part.

horray mikey rules!

Evan Wrote:horray mikey rules!
so predictable. it's actually called math. here, i'll help:
civic has received ~1500 miles this year. that comes out to 35 miles a week. that is about a 50/50 split of street and track miles so we can cleanly average our consumption averages (35+12=47/2=23.5mpg).
1500/23.5 = 64 gallons / this is the 39th week = 1.64 gallons consumed per week
S2000 receives ~65 miles per week @ 25mpg = 2.6 gallons consumed per week
2.6 + 1.64 = 4.24 total gallons per week.
I'm going to guess Deersty burns at least that much in 1 day. Yes, I'm doing my part.
YAY MATH!

Sorry Mikey, still Mikey RulesÔäó more than ever
fuel used != emissions
all Subarus are classified LEV.
you cant even say your swapped civic hatch with your own claimed motor problems passes the most basic of emissions inspections.
and to criticize someones drive to work as being insenstitive to the environment when you are burning up hydrocarbons for pleasure is hypocritical regardless of if you happen to live closer to your work
