Looking for a "smog" place in SF area.

I don't want to have to go from the 9lb kit to the 6lb kit and then back just cuz of smog. If anyone knows "anyone", please PM me. Thanks in advance!!:biggrin:
 
This is purely hypothetical (in the event any CARB folks are reading) but the 9-lb CTSC kit has passed CA smog and most stations won't measure the pulley diameter or pull the injectors to note the difference from the exempted base kit. Just bring a copy of the applicable CARB EO from the CARB website (and your EO sticker is in your engine bay, right?) for the base kit for your car. Should pass the test fine.
 
I take my NSX to Automotive Specialists on Bryant St. in S.F. They do smog tests but are not a TEST ONLY station. Talk to Ernie or Tom and tell them you are a friend of mine. They can do a pre-test for you first to make sure it passes.
 
Well, i tried to see if the car would pass, visually yes, out the pipes NOPE! Failed completely. Luckily i found out i don't have to get it smogged this year. But it gives me a good indication of where i am on this and what needs to be done.
Thanks for your inputs though! :biggrin:

Ray has different set-up to yours Ted - I believe has a custom Tuned AEM as opposed to the std Comptech offering of OEM ECM plus RRFPR. (am I accurate Ray?)

What were the numbers Ray, i.e what emissions specifically is it failing for?
