and its GOOOOOOOOOOD! I passed the test

haha!!! NA engine couldn't do it but my turbo engine passed smog the first try... yay!

sorry Nismopick

Runs cleeean too. I got about 1/3 the pollutants allowed on each test. At its best, my NA engine ran even more clean but... that was years ago. I'm happy now! I was so worried I might be without a car after this month but I can now take my time at getting the Pulsar on the road.

Do you still have the egr hooked up? That's really the only thing I can think of that throws my engine way over.

Yup, EGR is blocked, no carbon canister, no AAC, no ECU. Just an engine and fuel.

yes, using your wireless card! hardy har har

on a serious note, I run a modded 8-bit NES motherboard controlled by a PowerGlove as I mentioned a few months ago. The Z31 ECU is 8-bit as well but the powerglove makes all the difference.

Damn . . .you are amazing bleach. Although i would have gone with an 8-bit turbo joystick coupled with a running pad. Possibly even piggyback a gyromite R.O.B. to help with disc's and such

Man that's sweet. Now you have full control over the car. It's better than megasquirt. Powerglove controlled. You control the fuel supply, spark timing, etc. All from the palm of your hand while you drive! Man I want one!

Haha, use the R.O.B. as an astromech droid in the back, like R2-D2, to fix the the deflector shields.

I like the idea of ROB repairing your car on the go.

He needs some work though. He must be mobile to fix my car... magnet wheels or something so he can roll out on the hood and fix the dents and front deflector shield generator. oh, and stick some new brushes in the alternator while you're out there.

Well if you've managed to connect the power glove to your car, you should be able to manage to make rob able to do all that.

Congrats, So I was walking through books-a-million and I saw an anime book called "bleach" with some drawn character that kind of looked like you at a quick glance. I was like wtf he IS famous.

I wonder if Bleach will get a movie about him. The Wizard 2. Instead of playing videogames it'll be all about Bleach using the Power Glove with his car becoming some kind of high-tech underground racer. It'll make the Power Glove popular all over again.

Stock up? Are they even around anymore? I would assume one would go for big bucks right now anyway. Especially since the Wii comes out in a month or so . . .

-EDIT-
well shoot . . i guess not

Haha, Bleach! I had that same problem every year. If my 82 ZX passed, my 86 ZX wouldn't, and vice versa. It was so weird.
