its still fairly warm, its been raining alot this past 2 weeks. i think we got the outer bands of that hurricane in florida. but other than that, its just hot. like mid 80s to low 90s.

what about az, i used to live in mesa, az

Hot as usual, for a few days last week, it rained a bit. But now its back to high temps.

since im registered in mn i dont have to deal with it,but i know when you get it tuned you can get the o2 sensers cut out, but if they look under your car i dont think you will pass

You'll fail the visual inspection. Need to know the inspector!! I talked with one not long ago about when I change to an LS6 (complete) what will happen about the EGR on a '99. He informed me that you can change the engine number on your NC inspection and it will no longer need an EGR. Of course, you'll need to have the computer coded correctly, but that's one of the visual inspections that would fail you.

most guys don't know about the rear 02... you could bull shit the guys and say "i plug a sensor there when i'm at the track to help me adjust my AF ratio with a lap top" and they would shrug it off...

ok. well the good thing is, i know the inspector i work for him. he told me as long as there where no lights on the dash that were that he would pass me. so as long as i can keep the dash lights off, im good to go
