FYI if you need ideas on how to pass smog legally, there are lots of tricks you can do to help your vehicle run better. fresh oil change, clean air filter, acetone or that mosquito fogger liquid (name escaping my mind right now), run the vehicle till its nice and warm before taking it to the smog station, etc. If someone has a shop that can pass the vehicle without even hooking it up, take it backchannel. Why? well you dont wanna get that shop shut down for one but dont promote anything illegal here.
I'm not pointing fingers or deleting the thread....blah blah...just a heads up
