potatonet 0 Posted July 11, 2005 the smog guy says, your NOx levels are too high, 1200, should be 750. will changing my pully and reseting my timing fix that? also on a funnier topic, he said my idle was inconsistent, ISV sticking, and he said that my car was "modified" and that I had a non CARB approved "turbo". I told him to shut the f*ck up, he laughed at me.... I then told him he was stock and he laughed again, then I explained corrado's and how VW made a supercharged 4 cylinder engine... he looks it up... "HOLY CRAP, they did make one!" DUR!!!!!! told him that he should think of a new job cause he cant spot stock from not, I also told him that if my car hadnt passed smog because of his blatant error I would report his shop (most definitely illegal chop shop, very obvious) to the department of motor vehicles... after that all I got was this sad look from him and he shut up... >=-) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted July 11, 2005 I had the same thing when I took my car to a local 'greasemonkey' to fix the sunroof on my G60.. Them: "Who fitted the blower then to your motor?" Me: "Er.. it came like that from the factory!" Them: "Oh.. really?!" *lots of head scratching* Me: "Remind me to never let you do engine work on my car" ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
