well, at least my car isn't lowered yet, that gives me a couple extra inches of clearance eh?

You think insurance would cover hydrolocked engine???? Thats just like driving into a tree right?? still nature.......

Oh yea, also failed my first attempt at safety inspection. They said any aftermarket header requires recon.........and my exhaust was loud enough to make the inspector feel uncomfortable........

yet everyone has told me that they really don't care about bolt on mods to the engine, mostly suspension????

Did i just find the worst possible place to go (goodyear in kaneohe) or am I just stupid?
And also can I just go to another place and get safety check or am I now flagged in some computer system and have to go to recon no matter what?

 

i think you just went to a crappy ass place. all the cars that i've gotten safety check for non of the inspectors EVER checked under the hood before. and engine mods dont require recon. not 100% sure on that though.

 

here is some recon info: http://www.forumshawaii.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=309267

 

just got my safety check this friday went to mckinely slammed and all and yet still passed.

 

its gotten a little better after the rear tires got changed.

it was bald all the way down to the metal belts!

didnt know it was that bad til i took them off, lol.

front right rim of mo's was leakin from the valve stem but seems to be all good nw try drive it again after i get it raised only then shall i even think of 'tracking' the car....

 

Thanks for the mckinley tip. Worked like a charm.

 

no prob guys.

 

maybe it helps if they only see lowered S2000's at McKinley, that way they don't know the difference

 

well i hope i didn't ruin that with my off road suspension package......

 

if they ask just say you lifted it
