      it's not the car, this motor is perfect. AFR's are on point.

      Anyway im going back to inspection tomorrow guys. I'm tired of having to go up streets in order to avoid cops that took a glance at my rejected sticker.

      tightened down some bolts that were partially loose with the TB and the intake manifold. my idle is very awesome, i can see people through my rear view mirror at idle and they're not shaky! (This is how i test my idle).
      It's warmer outside and I've noticed my engine runs so much better in the real hotness.
      Got pretty fresh oil in there.
      I'm gonna dump a gallon of denatured alcohol in this bitch once my gas light turns on (which it will going to the inspection center, gonna pull over and pour the alcohol in)
      I can't really think of much.
      Should I let my engine run hotter than normal? I can always leave the fan turned on manually and leave it off when they're keeping it on idle...should burn fuel a little better no? It will only get like 2 millimeters over the halfway mark, nothing too serious.

      SHIT MAN IDUNNO

        You have no cat. You could have put one in and passed by now.

                One of the cheap ebay cats would do the job, just take it back off afterwards before it melts or explodes.
