Default Emission Help! (recommendation Necessary)

I have emissions due soon. I have exhaust, turbo kit, and piggy back fuel management system (along with other things). My car throws check engine light due to the car running a bit rich. Anyone know any place I can go to pass (doesn't have to pass legally...I can pay a bit more heh heh )???

Yea...Just incase you want to share the info but don't want to take the risk of having pigs with S2000 seeing it (or just don't want to get a shop in trouble) PM me.

Dunno if this'll help, but the first time I went with my Civic Si, it was raining. I noticed that the car in front of me was sliding back and forth and hitting the curb a little. I asked the guy, if that was gonna happen with my car since I had Advans on it, and he was like, don't worry about it. I went in to wait, and this other lady came out and said, "No, I'm not putting your car on. I'm not going to pay for your wheels if they get damaged." She had a souped up car too So in the end, they just had me run in front of a fan.

The second time I went with the Civic, they still didn't put me on the rollers. But my car was back to stock by then. I just saw them plug in the OBDII connector and take some readings.

Guess it all depends on where you go...
