Not much on my car just yet. FPR, Mugen Headers, K&N air filter.(TB comming soon)

HC: 3.3 (86.0 max)
CO: 0.00 (0.48 max)
NO: 6.7 (656.0 max:eek

Ok on to the fun stuff. I pretty much stopped all of the emissions place because nobody could believe what it was.(never seen it before) Same line THATS A HONDA? Yes its a Honda that is what the big H stands for. I had about a half dozen people crouded around my car looking, pointing what not.

The start button was the funniest thing of all he was yelling to his buddy YO you gotta see DIS!(you can guess at their ethnicity) Nice nice people none the less.(top down the whole time beautiful Autum day)

Made sure to tell them its REAR wheel drive since they put it on rollers and run it up to 25 mph. Car jerked majorly on both 1-2 and 2-3 shift. Im sure he didnt rev it up enough.

Thing that pissed me off was they put the registration sticker way high on the window! Anybody know a sure fire way to pull it off and move it without screwing it up?

Thats my story!

Are your emission laws tougher than California? New cars don't need smog checks for the first 5 years here (unless sold).

I have to believe that smoging an S2000 is not going to be a big deal. They were not kidding when they said low emissions. Lots of leeway in those numbers!

Sticker Removal:

Not sure fire, but works often.

Get some transparent packing tape.

Clean the back of the sticker with alcohol.

Apply tape to back of sticker.

Heat window from outside with a lamp or hair-dryer.

Try to peel the whole thing off slowly.

This method is variablein success. With some stickers, it is perfect. With others, the tape just comes up leaving the sticker.

Good luck.

Dan

I just received their printed catalog in the mail yesterday.

"Garage Handbook No101" Bottom of page 12. I could scan it tonight when I get home if it would help.
