  1. There's no sniffer test. Just OBD and visual. The visual is dependant on how thorough the inspector is. I have a co-worker that failed because the cat part number was incorrect. Whereas I go to places that are not as thorough.
  2. Where did you take it to? My 05's been smogged three times now and the visual was done from about 3 feet from the car so they never saw the missing uppipe cat, not that they can really see it.
  3. It should be on the original work order what they will be doing and how much it was going to cost.
  4. Yes the end cap, just the drivers side. It's loose because your clip is already broken. I don't think anyone can remove it the traditional way without breaking the lower clip. After I broke mine the first time and ordered a replacement, I go in with needle nose pliers through the fuse door and squeeze and push the clip out. The passenger side doesn't have the fragile clip on the bottom.
  5. Just had mine done, sure enough they snapped the clip on the driver's side cover. I had a feeling that was going to happen, since I learned the hard way that you need to push the clip out going through the opening for the fuses. Now waiting for them to order a new one. When you have yours done, make sure to check the driver's side cover to see if they broke the clip. The bottom will flop open if you just give it a slight pull. The passenger side is completely different and won't break when removed.
  6. You just don't drive anywhere. Used to commute 150 miles a day, now only 75 miles a day. The longest vacation trip was 2220 miles in 7 days. That trip was fun, averaged 100 mph for an hour following two semi's with 3 trailers each. Didn't know they can go that fast, uphill.
  7. 3/19/2005, bought the car in July 2005, currently just shy of 254,000 miles.
  8. Like I asked earlier, wouldn't it be easier to just get a UPS box in Jackson? Amador County doesn't do smog checks.
  9. Wouldn't it be easier to get a PO box in Jackson and not have to do smog at all?
  10. Stereolithography, aka SLA, is still stereolithography today. SLA involves using lasers to cure a resin. All the 3D printing you see today is Fused Deposition Modeling where a filament is extruded onto a bed, layer by layer. 3D printing will not make machinist a thing of the past. 3D printing is slow. Painfully slow. Most parts can be made quicker with a mill than a 3D printer. 3D printed metals are only about 93% whole, 7% voids. They also exhibit about 93% of the structural strength. You would still need to do finish work on it in order to use it because of the surface finish. It can be a substitute for low volume castings. Koneggiseeggggeeggegsseggsge has started using 3D printed titanium for some of their parts because of their extremely low production volume.
  11. 3300-3500. Mobil 1 for the first 180k, than switched to Castrol Edge. Did some analysis 60,000 miles ago and Blackstone came back saying the wear was below average. They thought I could go longer, but if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Was running Cobb stage 1 since 50K?, then at 180K had to replace the turbo (stuck wastegate) and went with BNR 16G @ 18.5 psi, tuned by Shamar.
