none at all. he gave the dbilas a hairy eyeball for a sec (which is what made the first 3 shops tell me to fuck off last time), but after that he just checked what the computer told him to (AFM, O2, cat, etc). i was amazed he said nothing about the aftermarket FPR hanging off the front of the engine either, but either he didn't know what it was or i picked one that looked factory.

the only weirdness was when he said my RPMs were "almost" too high for the 25mph test... my 4.10 is taller than the 318ic came with (4.27 orig), so if i'd had factory gearing it would have been higher. after it happened this time, i remembered the guy said something about it last time too. my only guess there is that the state-database doesn't know what a 318ic is and used the gearing/tire size/expected-rpm values for a 325ic.

build thread is here: http://www.r3vlimited.com/board/showthread.php?t=128768, but broad strokes are: 318 vert, e36 5-lug, torsen diff, dbilas ITBs, weight reduction.

Interesting, wonder how they smog stock 318ic's. I think the last time I saw your car was in LA!
