Read it and weep boys. Seems people won't be doing as much modding to 96 and newer cars in Texas no more.

Stereodude

The EPA can suck my nutz.

Bah, as long as we have friends that hook us up with Inspection stickers we'll be good. Mod on!

Maybe I missed something.

Can't you just pass the test then put your mods back on?

Just about everyone on the board with a test-pipe and some y-pipes too does it :o

I agree with Ants97SE. Get some friends in the business.:D

some people don't understand what it means to turn off the NOS and stick your stock exhaust back on for one day.. heaven forbid we spent an hour or two under our cars for an inspection..

Only applicable to 4 counties with smog and emission problems.
Slowly but surely every state will follow suite if they are not already. I do not keep up with the other states but I do not believe Texas is the first state to do this in certain areas. California comes to mind but not sure.

Happy modding in the Lone Star State.

Okay back to my Silver Bullet

Georgia started that this year, too. Doesn't apply to me, though. You know, this opens the door for OBD-III, which will record how fast you drive. This will allow your high-speed driving habits to be uploaded into the government's computer so it can send speeding tickets to you automatically.

:eek:

Looks like I'll have 3 computers then for ODBIII, racing, chilling, and late for work.

i don't count very well .. but that is 3

whats OEBI/II/III
What do they do.?

ok, ,so I read a little about it, but if this true... cant you just cut the power to it and reset it?

So if I read it correctly....
 

It is just checking the information that could throw a MIL? If so, it really would not make much of a difference would it? If you don't have a CEL, then there should be no problem right..? Did I misread this?
