Thanks a lot.

I tried turning but it never ends. I gave it at least ten 360 degree revolutions. Any ideas?

OP, did you run into any issues with the adjuster being 180 degrees off? I had the exact same question about the adjuster on the Tokico Illumina 2 shock. I called Tokico and they told me it was 5-way adjustable and if I turn all the way clockwise it would stop and that would be most firm...

That's great news! Btw, can any of you tell me the different between Tokico Illumina vs Tokico Illumina II? I assume it's not the same?

I second that. I just replaced my high pressure line due to a leak and Silver MK3's writeup was invaluable.

I bought some carpeted floor mats with the Supra logo from that ebay source about 1.5 years ago. The company is www.automatstore.com. Been pretty happy with my mats. One minor issue I had is the carpet does move a tiny bit after a while because of my clutching. They provide hooks to prevent...

Hi All, I was wondering what the difference is between Tokico Illumina vs Tokico Illumina II shocks? Or is there a difference? All the ones I see for sale do not specify II. Thx

Actually, I am getting lasik done end of this month. Must be the eyes :icon_bigg Boy was I shocked when I stuck a wire into the hole where the EGR valve connects to the head, only to see my wire do a 90 degree turn and come right back out.

Maybe I wasn't clear in my explanation above. EGR cooler wasn't there and only one of the block off plates was installed (left side if facing the front of car). The other exhaust return hole (right side) did not have a block off plate... so ambient air could still get sucked through EGR valve.

Actually, it did pass test 6. I ran that test multiple times and applying vacuum to EGR valve caused engine to run rough and choke. Guess by applying vacuum air is allowed into the manifold and the improper ratio causes the choking?

Well they passed the individual TSRM tests for each of those items. It was the EGR system vacuum test which I mentioned didn't pass. After installing the EGR cooler the EGR vacuum test passed perfectly.

Thought I'd give you guys an update since today I finally passed!!!! Turns out EGR cooler wasn't even there and the exhaust return was blocked off. Effectively EGR was not working at all. Don't ask how the previous smog check passed... Here are the new results: 15mph %CO2: 14.7 %O2: 0.0...

Thanks jetjock and suprajztweny. I'll investigate further this weekend.

Hi guys, back with an update. I failed smog again :: angry ::. But at least overall numbers came down a notch.. Here are the new numbers: 15mph RPM: 1712 %CO2: 14.8 %O2: 0.0 HC(ppm): 1 (max 85) CO(%): 0.01 (max 0.49) NO(ppm): 48 (max 533) 25mph RPM: 2860 %CO2: 14.8 %O2: 0.0...

Hi guys, I had a chance to look into the issue further last weekend. I did the EGR vacuum gauge test per TSRM and noticed I was getting vacuum @ 2500 RPM even when the engine was cold (supposed to be no vacuum). After much blood and sweat, I found it was due to improper vacuum hose...

Thanks everyone for the replies. I'll check the EGR per TSRM this weekend and see how that goes. Hopefully that's my only problem, but wouldn't bet on it with my luck...

Hi All, First, just wanted to say thanks for the awesome site/users. I read posts here from time to time and they have always been very helpful. I recently failed a California smog check and wanted to see what you experts thought about it before I started tinkering around. Everything passed...
