Emission testing problem...
Went to get the car emission tested and said they couldn't do it because of the type of dyno that is required to do the test. They said it would likely wreck the MS skirts on the car because their dyno drops down about 6 inches. I called some other places and they said the same thing.
Anybody know a work around or a shop that has didn't kind of equipment to handle this? Of note, my car is also lowered with S-techs, which isn't helping obviously.
Any suggestions would be most appreciated...

scott, what you need is called a 2 speed idle test. if they say then cant test it because its too low then they can always perform a 2 speed idle test. they should know about this because they have to do it on AWD cars. just call around and say that and find some place that actually knows what you are talking about and that will be as good as any.

Just spoke to an auto shop about the 2 speed idle test and he said he can't do it on my vehicle because it's not a 4 wheel drive. He saud that if he does, it will raise a flag in the system and he could get audited... frigg

Scott, your best bet is to start calling and explaining the situation. what im talking about is a way to get a legit Etest from a place that understands the system and knows what can an cant be done legally...i dont know how i feel about what footman is talking about. no offense man.
