.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. 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!"

.RJ Wrote:Octane booster = junk.a new cat will usually compensate for whatever else is wrong and let you pass, but it doesnt solve the root problem.

I'm saying "I don't care too much about emissions"
I think you misunderstood.

Evan Wrote:Mike Wrote:long commute = lots of emissions.pot, kettle? 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?)

"Here, at last, is the cure for texting while driving. The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth

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 |
