Default Inspection

I need to get my Foxbody inspected. Can someone send me a PM with a "friendly" location? I'm in Allen.

Have you even tried to get it done, just go in and see? My car passed while running the HPP tune (ran like shit on the street, but screamed at the track) and then did not pass with the GH tune (good manners everywhere). I ended up doing the Ford Recommended ODBII drive cycle test (google it, and follow it to the letter) to get mine to pass.

Speaking of inspection....

Since WHEN did they say the shops had to drive them? I mean, maybe it's not a big deal, but I don't like ANYBODY else driving my car. I'm glad I don't have my GTO still with the big cam and expensive clutch- I'd be PISSED if they screwed it up.

If it's not a Texas law and it's only the place I've been taking it I will IMMEDIATELY stop going to Riley's Lube in Boyd.

Ugh...I hate that then. It's a good thing they didn't do that when I had my GTO...

Last thing I need is some old lady burning up my Monter clutch and bucking the car with the cam in it.

My bad, didn't even see that. What's keeping it from passing? I thought you put her back to stock.

My car is exempt if you could count higher than six. The sticker is for the vert so my dad can drive it legally, as he moves back Friday. He gets the shakes not driving a fully legal car.
