Emissions Tampering

[SSTibet]

Now listen... You know I live in Turkey and I own a 95 Coupe. Previous owner emptied the cats (how stupid to gain only a few Hp's). I had the car checked for exhaust emmissions (it is also mandatory here) and it passed the test quite well, I mean not marginal but well within the limits.

What does that tell you??? Maybe our emission standards are too loose or the cats are too much?

Cheers all,

Selim

Hi SS,
As mentioned in my last post, if a engine, any engine, is PROPERLY tuned and MAINTAINED it will not produce improper emissions.....that is why all the "Junk" such as Cats, computers, sensors etc. So when a car isn't maintained well the computer can controll SOME of the emissions and still meet the standards.....anyway that is my opinion. If it meets the specs I would not worry about it...just enjoy the ride. " Get in, sit down, hold on and enjoy the ride".

Tim,

I am very much doing that buddy. I love cruising with my Vette. It is a lovely peace of powerful equipment except for a few hick ups (such as vibration noise from the passanger side airbag area)...
