    Question regarding smog

    It turned out that I had a couple loose hoses and worn spark plugs. Now the car passes smog fine w/ a K&N, full 3inch piping from turbo on back with 2 cats. I appreciate all you fellows helping me. Thanks a lot for your time.

    Question regarding smog

    did the 7MGTE come with 1 cat or 2 stock? I don't even remember what my stock exhaust looked like. It was changed a few years ago. Currently the shop is trying to smog it with 1 cat.

    Question regarding smog

    A new O2 sensor was installed this morning and now the muffler shop is telling me that they are getting a check engine light and the car is still failing the test smog but they do not have a computer to diagnose/read the code. They have tried using an OBD1 only computer and a newer one that does...

    Need advice on a sale price

    Hahah, you right about the Mk3 owner part. It's hard to justify $2k rims for a car worth less than $5k :biglaugh:

    Supra Stolen in Fremont, CA

    Only upgrades I had were custom IC piping, intake and full 3in piping from turbo on down, no cat, and had a stereo system.

    Random backfire

    I took out the small hose going from the bypass valve to the intake accordian tube. Plugged the accordian tube so the air does not leak from there and kept the end of the bypass valve open so I can hear the sound.
