Took her out of storage this evening and out for a short drive. Felt good to be back in the Z after 4months

This is why I am glad I do not live in the great white north.......

Myself, I went into the glove compartment and got out 20.00 for lunch today. Left her sitting pretty in the garage.

Finally!! it was time for a mandatory smog check.

It passed on the UPrev stock map, stock cats & intakes.

Now back to reinstalling the Stillen Gen3 & Berk HFC's

Painted and put my emblems on today

Drove it to dinner tonight, not even 24hrs out of storage and a bird craps on it.

Today I'm installing some awesome FI HFCs, and I have the rest of the 18" resonated FI exhaust out to find a small leak from the original installation (bought used, I may not have scraped off all of the old gasket material). Also, I needed to remove the exhaust to make enough room to wiggle out the rear sway bar and replace it with this Whiteline one. I only did the front yesterday because it looks like someone (I got my z used) either tried to jack up the car on one of the diagonal brace bolt heads, or they just wrenched it into oblivion. Either way, I've got new shiny things to install and finding a replacement bolt isn't going to get in the way so the exhaust has to move to make up for the brace not coming out.
So, here's a preemptive what I 'will have done' with my z today, hopefully I won't be back soon with a "OMG why doesn't this thing work" post.

Does it not pass with all that installed?

Unfortunately here it would have failed the visual inspection.

Gotta love California eh? I love to visit, they have some incredible parks and stuff. We don't have that problem in MD. As long as the check engine light isn't on and there is enough data collected for the things they car about, you are good. We don't have the LA temperature inversion problem though. Nor the truly fanatic liberals.

Drove to choir practice this morning. I really like some of the freeway onramps around here.

Yes, But you need to show the smog tech the carb approved form from Stillen before he decides to fail it for having a non oem intake.
