    Ca smog woes

    I have a 91 Sup that I plan on getting on the road again Its been parked since 2014 when gas prices were ridiculous Last time I smogged it it passed by the skin of its teeth I attribute that to the fact that it had some bad valve stem seals and might have contaminated the primary cat...

    Is the CPS rebuild-able?

    This is why I hate the 240 groups II

If the Supra owner had some of the same mods and stripped interior,it would have been more of a fair fight,hell he might have...
