Is there anyway to remove the rear o2 CEL without having to simulate the heater circuit and still pass inspection?

i requested multiple times mrfred spoof it like over a year ago... but he said i might have to physically steal his rear o2 sensor to motivate him enough to code one.

In MA its always better to have one the safety guy can physically see anyway. If they see a sensor, what looks like a cat, and the ECU is happy, that's all they care.

Personally, if there is a bung for the rear o2 and you have one anyway, why not run one? I understand spoofing the readiness test if you run a testpipe but otherwise there isn't really a reason to just not have it in if you can.

It's mainly because the car didn't come with a rear o2 sensor and I have to get the car on the road.

I do plan on running the rear o2 sensor once I can fine one anyway. It's not because I want to run catless, it's because I don't have an o2 sensor lol.

I'll just wait till the o2 sensor comes in within the next couple of days and then worry about the cel fix when I get my prototype muse catback in v-bands ftw!

It's a good time to try to stretch and get a new 15 year mortgage, pay a couple hundred more a month but save 100k by the time it's paid off.
actually, i did the math and by dropping from 5.75% to 4.75%, i catch up pretty quickly, since i've only had the house for just under two years. if i roll the money i am saving back into the mortgage, i'm ahead of the game pretty quickly.

15 year is only a quarter point better- i'd rather have the flexibility to make smaller payments or i could double up some months if i want and pay it off sooner.

after refinancing, my school loans and car loan are at a higher rate and i'd be better off knocking them off anyway. plus, there is the added tax benefits of a mortgage. when things were good, i was getting more than 4% on my savings account. hopefully, we'll see good times again soon....

Matt would never use the car to the extent that most of us do. Infact we were looking at VIII's for him and came accross that. Also came accross this sad excise of a modified Evo. I actually saw a thread in another forum on here about this car and checked out the cardomain page. Kid who owns this needs to be dope slapped.

So in short, the Evo for Matt would be for very basic fun/to have a nice car. Better than seeing him get a Cobalt SS or something stupid.

Nah, not shocking but still, for a IX MR SE it looks damn good and it's got less than 20k on it.

Out of the question especially considering the problems people are having with those cars (transmissions, paint, rattles worse than ours, etc etc etc), hell, I WAS considering one for my wife but after going through a bunch of threads in the X forums we said hell no.

That and Matt doesn't really dig the look of the X. Hasn't grown on him yet.


Hooooray for snow tomorrow! I need to go put the Evo in the garage damnit
