Pre 2010 it was easier but like i said they now take your car's sensors through a "simulation" of conditions to test the car.

So without a cat it will fail no matter what.
Maybe in NJ.

But I passed NYS emissions about a month ago with no cat by masking my catalytic code with the an ap flash.

Sina, like I told you, I don't see how that's possible. Only thing I can think off is that when you were checking codes you might've hit reset and that counted as a reflash and all your readiness flags were nulled out. So you need to get the driving in again - atleast 100 miles to be safe.

Yeaup, that top gear review was 7 years old. but Clarkson slipped and said it was the best car ever at a point.

that top gear review actually convinced me to get an 8 back in 07.


Al,
NY inspection has and always will be more lineant. But slick move either way with using a custom flash.


Stink,
Best of luck. IRP does quality work....just a long line be prepared.

The 8 was featured on the show twice if I remember correctly. The second time I think it ran a faster time but it was 1:32.50 or something around the track. At the time it was exactly the same as the 350z time that they tested at the same time. How convenient. Jeremy did say it was the best car of the year he tested so far but he retracted that saying that its horrible in the rain or something because of the tires. The second time, the 8 was put against an audi and an alfa in some stupid challenges. The alfa won hahahah. Hamster was driving the 8. He called the FD daft. Either way it was nice seeing a rotary on the show!

Andy missed some details on the showdown under 25grand with the 8 alfa and tt but for the most part the 8 performed decently.

The furai actually showed up on topgear when it came out they had it on the stage and were going to take it to the the track but it wouldnt turn on... Go Mazda!


I used to be a TopGear fanboy...

It didn't even matter how they performed. UGH. The alfa was so bad. I liked the cars they featured but come on I'd like some substance to. I really liked the episode they did on the GTR. Stuff like that I'd like to see more of.

I miss the older seasons of top gear. The show is entertaining but I'd like to see more relevant cars and less super cars.

Benny that is ******* AWESOME.
