The AAA office in Saratoga/Stevens creek has a DMV inside. They can handle your DMV needs.

 

I bought a 350z Touring roadster. It's a used 2005 with 35k miles.

 

Oh hell noooo!

Bring it to the meet on friday!

 

HOw much did you get the 350 for? did you get the convertable? Are you going to be joining the 350 clubs too??? LOL

 

Our cars have 50 state emissions right? I want to make sure im gonna pass the smog test before i pay 60 bucks for the damn thing

 

You're gonna pass the test Tom.

David you car noob, the roadster is a convertible.

Rob I don't know why you bought a Z instead of a supercharger!

 

Hey!!! I just don't follow the 350 line! Don't make me make you eat meat!

Rob didn't want to be a Guinea pig for Pettit.

I stand corrected! I have to keep that dictionary near me like you do.

 

Guinea

 

So is 65 bucks for everything said and done for smog a good price?

 

Try this one for $30 out-the-door:

Lafayette Parker
829 Parker St, Santa Clara 95050
408 970 0228

Came across it on Miata forum. Never been there myself.

ps. Bump for my FS thread on new tires: https://www.rx8club.com/rx-8-parts-sale-wanted-44/fs-bridgestone-re050a-225-45-18-brand-new-123921/

 

Another one:

76 Station in San Jose/Saratoga, intersection of Prospect and Saratoga Ave is 19.95+10.05 for cert. 30 bucks out the door. 20 bucks for a pretest if you think you might fail.

 

I bought it between "Excellent" and "Good" trade-in kbb value. The dealer in Santa Cruz (Subaru dealer) had it for 2 months, and could not sell it. It's a Convertible Touring model (I think it's grand touring according to the VIN#).

The driving experience is different.

At low speed, it feels like a boat, but at higher speed, it's very responsive, and balanced.

No, I'm not joining the 350z club. I want to try an intake mod and get it to 300hp. I think the 300hp version was released in 2006. I'm getting mixed info on the 2005 model, it's either 287hp or 300hp.

The site also has a translator.

 

Thank you CRX. Heading over there tonight

 

Dicks' MIDPIPE is TOO BIG. It will not fit in the convertible.

I need to use the RX-8 by inserting Dicks' big PIPE at the end of the RX-8.

 

Stroke my ego!

 

The place over on lafayette and parker is the ******* worst. Been here an hour already with the car on the ******* dyno and the guy has my car running, no wheels moving and wasting my gas time and money. I'm pissed!

 

Oh and he is scratching my car too

 

Bust a cap

 

Find out where he lives, the **** on his car!

 

So plan tomorrow? We doing Sushi? I may have to jet a little early.

Dick, bring your sockets and a phillips screw driver.












I'll bring the lube.

 

These guys are soooo poor they cant afford them. The closest they get is to work on them. Damn ******* piece of **** shop. NEVER going back there again

 

Sorry Spinbreakz for the bad experience. I was just simply trying to give you options based on what Miata forum guys said. Let me know what went wrong (bad service/long wait/inadequate equipment/etc) so I can inform the Miata board.

 

i know, i know. I appreiciate the help, i really do. But yeah, all of the above was horse ****. Those miata drivers must be in the same something or other as this shop. Im sticking to rotary mazdas

 

OK, I looked up the ones I have been to personally. Smog Master and Speedy Smog, both Test Only centers on El Camino Real, near Santa Clara University. The websites are http://www.smogmaster.net and http://www.yellowpages.com/info-LMS5...Smog-Test-Only.

I took the RX-8 to Smog Master, which was a bit of wait due to only one technician working on multiple bays. Other than that, it was fairly smooth. I also tried Speedy Smog on a different car, just OBD II. It was fast and a bit cheaper. Smog is not exactly rocket science, so I'm surprised to hear of your lousy experience. It's RWD and CAN-bus compliant should be all the technician needs to know.

Once again, very sorry!
