Asking the community here for some help...

I need help getting a car smogged in the Los Angeles area. It should pass the emissions part, haven't verified that yet, though it did pass last time it needed it. However, if you pop the hood, its very obviously not street legal.

So if anyone is or knows a mechanic who can help me out here, I don't mind driving some distance, and am willing to both provide a finders fee to the person to steer me to the right place, and, of course, tip the mechanic for his services.

 

bump.

Can anyone help out another ht member?

If it passed before, whats the porblem?

Heh, its not legal parts. And my old mechanic is long retired now. Basically I need someone to pass the visual, it should pass the sniffer just fine.

 

Most places now do not make points of visual anymore, unless it is grossly overdone. I never get trouble with my visual

 

SchuuuBeeschuuuubeedooo... i play deaf, dumb and blind.

I know, but don't do it around here bud, could be dangerous

 

thats a big Affirmative sir.

over and under.

 

Well, I had a pretest...

15 mph
HC 15 ppm / max 244
CO 0.00 / max 1.52
NO 2918 ppm / 1480 max

25 mph
HC 14 ppm / 212 max
CO 0.00 / 1.32 max
NO 2759 ppm / 1340 max

So yeah, I'm a little beyond the limits for NO. Anyone have any suggestions? I have an aftermarket catalytic, which was installed back in 95, and I'm thinking that might be the first thing to look into. If anyone knows of an easy way to get the NO down, I'd love to hear it.

 

Get a new cat or get your hands on a stock cat

 

the cat helps the HC levels... pump premium and seafoam your car. my NO went way down. but a new CAT would definitely help the NO too

 

Go to a smog center with a ghetto mexican smogging it... i passed mine with flying colors. (make sure he looks ghetto... i mean G-H-E-T-T-O).

 

how much you offering for the finders fee?

 

bump.

Panfilo passed my car..I know of a spot if you want to roll to East Los...hit me up

 

email me your contact info: dankeeboy@hotmail.com I know of some places.

 

first of all, check your ignition timing. Second, do you have any modifications that would raise combustion temperature.?. Last but not least, you may ended up replacing that cat. anyway, since you have a so called "tuned" motor, it will sure to damaged your cat anytime.

 

yea be careful man, you never know whos reading these posts. major fine's if they catch you or the tech.

late,

I just failed my smog test and had to adj. the timing and buy a new cat inorder to pass smog again.
