Default My car passed MA emissions! (some might be interested)

My car (99 Si) passed emissions (in MA) last week. Keep in mind, I left my camgears at +2.5 intake and -4 exhaust with my timing at +18. AEM, Mugen TL, GReddy 4-2-1 and I even forgot to re-plug in my evap purge solenoid (which was left unplugged to help w/ idle issues).

I changed the oil recently (which supposedly helps) and got the cat really good and hot (which also supposedly helps).

I got there, and the guy said (I'm not getting an OBD reading). I sheepishly said--that's because the car is running OBD1. He tells me to re-hook up my OBD2 ecu because he can't do an inspectoin without an ecu reading.

My OBD2 woes are legendary, so I was concerned. Since it was a cool day out and my car was already warmed up, the OBD2 ecu didn't act up at all, and the car passed. It was close, but it passed.

How 'bout that???
