Can't remember the last time i did an emissions test for anything besides a title transfer.

There are 2 other people in the 2g section with standalones that come to mind. One im not sure even got running. The other has claimed passing emissions, but how is

Switching back to stock ecu and harness is a chore but seems like the best bet.

Some states don't do emissions testings, like where I live in Nashville. We finally got rid of it last year. They have said they'll reverse it though if people don't behave.

Covid put a damper on my racing and I switched hobbies for 5-6 years. Been having health issues and bad vertigo for years now which prevented me from working on car.

I'll repost a link to my best video IMO if anyone wants to watch it and find it easier. I don't think the Evo and Mustang liked being passed by a CL haha.

Yea and j series miatas and mr2. Smaller car loses its balance with such a big v6 at autocross. The turbos were faster. At the track the short cars don't have quite the high speed stability. I've had lotus elises tell me they can't keep up in turns.

Hey Brian,
I gotta say, for someone new like me who just picked up a 6 speed CL-S back earlier in March, this entire thread is a massive lifesaver. I do wish photobucket would load all of the photos for me but I wanted to ask: Do you have any suggestions on what you would recommend doing first if you were to redo everything?
