+1 , just driven really F'n hard !!!

 

I'm going to have to try and take a guess on who this guy could be.............. oh wait, it's me!

I wish I had more time to play!

 

Yes Mike we knew who he was talking about. You may be the only 03 in the country with under 5000 miles on the car!

 

Hahaha! Sorry I have 15000 on mine! I'm graduate in May and that number should go up dramatically!

 

I've been emissions exempt for the past two visits to the inspection station but they still did a visual on the car. My car is not OBD2 compliant so they can't scan it even if they wanted (but I also have no CEL anyways). I was just confused as to why I have to pass a visual and get my gas cap checked, tires, suspension, etc....

 

I never liked inspections until I spent some serious time driving around Ohio where they have(had?) no safety or emissions inspections.

The unsafe **** boxes that remained on the road there would boggle the mind.

 

When my car was registered in Huntington County I was emissions exempt but still had to have a visual and gas cap test....ghey.

 

yeah, if it rolls they will let you drive it.

i have seen some scary crappy cars driving around there. always makes nervous because most of them look like they could spontaneously combust at any moment. haha.

 

^--- that's all i have to say about last night.

 

so how about thursday at work we get a call from one of our customers in texas and said their motor died and they needed another one right away and needed it by the next day so only way that would ever happen is if we delivered it ourselves so thats what went down...me and another guy from work ordered the 8000lb motor and rented a 30ft Penske flatbed truck so we drove up to Indiana,Pa to pick it up and drove straight to Texas and it took us about 29 hours to get there nonstop and took our time to get back home so we finally made it back sunday night...me and the other guy did the math and itll be roughly 2 months regular pay for each of us so ill finally buy some new toys for the evo

 

what has an 8k lb motor?

 

Wait a second.. i dont think the fine for not having a cat is $5,000, but the fine for the inspector is $5,000. The guy I go to always tells me if i get caught make sure i tell them them I changed it since inspection.

Anyways, happy new year to all... I got my wheels on and the car looks way better. Also got the downpipe and test pipe ordered.

 

it was at an electrical power plant and they haul in coal on barges so this motor that died was the motor that powered the machinery to unload the barges so without that theyre screwed

 

Gasoline powered? Piston? Gas turbine engine? Or it's got to be a diesel 10 or 12 cylinder.

 

i think the important question is, does it fit under the hood of an evo?
