>can't pass California smog
had to replace a fuckload of sensors
waiting for gay faggot "readiness monitors" to clear
CA only allows one monitor not complete
I have two
Drove car to clear the monitors, engine light came back on
and the worst part is i already passed the emissions part fine its the shit "functional test" for the gay OBDII crap
FUCK CALIFORNIA SMOG SHIT
It's a sign from D*g. He wants you to daily an old car.
Man it's so easy to pass and get the system "ready", do some research before crying about it. All you need to do is give the ECU the signals it wants to see. I'll leave the rest up to you
>>14857657
So you have to trick the computer into thinking the camber is within spec?
>>14857657
Don't ever fucking reply to my posts again unless you have something to contribute for this thread.
What car?
I'm 4 months late on smog, because I don't trust my 85 Corolla to pass. Don't know though. It might. But shit went south and it's unusable right now until I set the timing. At least I'm not OBDII.
>>14857657
You probably know smog people you can pay off. Help OP out.
>>14857657
>Man it's so easy to pass
yeah like this drive cycle shit is easy to do on a public road
>work wants to move me to their San Fran office
>neither of my cars would pass California standards
>pay raise wouldn't come close to covering the huge jump in rent and cost of living
I'm close to telling my boss that they need to nearly double my pay to accommodate living in downtown San Francisco, or I'm just going to walk out and find a new job.
>>14857672
OBDI is so much easier
the ECU's are dumb and don't store any of that nonsense
as long as you arent a gross polluter
>>14857668
Coming from a guy who doesn't know how to do a proper drive cycle lol
>>14857678
I do them all the time
>>14857672
Yeah, but OP is a cop.
>>14857683
>contributes nothing useful

just kill yourself
>>14857681
The Bay is a really nice area, especially south. If they make the pay worth the move, do it.
>>14857688
How far are you from Orange County faggot? I'll get it to pass
>>14857682
>as long as you arent a gross polluter
Yeah, I don't know. Previous owner handed me a smog sheet with a bunch of 0s for NOx and the other thing on it. Seemed suspect. But I can't imagine I'd need to do more than replace some sensors at worst and fiddle with the timing.
>>14857683
>come on bro, no cops down here
Also, I'm in OC. Where do I go and who's name do I mention?
>>14857681
Where are you now?
>>14857681
Just fucking tell him. I personally would flat out refuse to go myself, Sanfran is a beautiful city for a vacation but living there would be literal hell. I'm moving out of CA soon as possible and I live in Socal. This state has been destroyed by its government and should in all honesty be walled off and left to rot.
>>14857683
Drive cycles are literally impossible to safely perform on public roads.
Op should just find a dirty smog tech to pass him. I'm gonna be smog liscenced by the end of the year, If I already was and had a shop I would offer to pass him myself instead of being a tripfaggot on a Japanese turbo painting board who doesn't even know what he is talking about.
>I know a guy
>I just pay $$$$
>LOL passing smog is easy, just pay a guy!
It's easy to say shit like that. But falsifying emissions tests isn't something you wanna get into.
>>14857701
One of us are licensed and one of us aren't, guess which one's which
>>14857693
My issue is that they probably won't. They've barely raised my salary in 5 years of working there, and they tried screwing me out of my benefits before.
Also, I'd be going from spending $1050/month rent (utilities included), $50/week food, then dirt cheap gas and other misc stuff to be paying double if not triple what I'm doing now.
Plus I'd have to sell most of my guns including several WWI/WWII heirlooms (and the remainder I will have I'd have to butcher), plus I'd have to buy a car that meets cali requirements. So I'm not really looking forward to moving.
>>14857706
>buy a car that meets cali requirements
Either that or come up with $200 to pay someone to pass it every two years. Small cost to pay to drive the countries most beautiful roads.
>>14857704
Everybody knows a guy. The only idiots who get caught are the ones who do it for little old ladies who mysteriously decide to take their gross polluter 50 miles from where they live to have it slipped through the system.
>>14857708
>california
>the countries most beautiful roads
now I know you are a shitposter
>>14857699

>>14857708
I'd take shitty roads over shit cost of living, shit pay, and no guns.
>>14857706
Nobody is going to take your guns from you here dude. It's bad but not that bad yet. Just keep them home and you should be fine.
Again however just tell him you aren't interested in moving to California and if that is a problem they can fire you.
Don't quit unless they transfer you anyway then just don't ever show up there and find new work.
Trust me, everything worthwhile left in this state can be done and seen on a vacation. Living here is not worth it, and doubly not worth it anywhere in Norcal.
>>14857719
Shitty commuting roads are everywhere man
>>14857706
>My issue is that they probably won't. They've barely raised my salary in 5 years of working there, and they tried screwing me out of my benefits before.
You've cucked yourself. Unless you take control of the situation, they're not going to raise your salary and keep you on as a reliable drone that can get numerous disparate projects done without ever allowing you the opportunity to move up. Tell your boss to fuck off or pay you. If you're at all useful, spin it so you're seen as an asset to the company.
>>14857737
>>14857739
get a life dude
this isnt a chinese drifitng cartoon
>>14857721
There are cheaper suburbs you could move to and stay out of SF proper, but CA is still fucking expensive even then. Plus, their traffic is shit. Update your resume and start looking for a new gig.
>>14857737
>>14857739
>mfw Ortega is the only fun road here
>>14857730
Well, I have 2 registered pre-ban full autos, nearly 15 tax stamps in my name as well.
It doesn't matter if they take it away, by crossing into California with those guns I would be a felon. I would have to sell off all my NFA items, my cars ('95 RX-7, '07 RX-8, '92 D250), and have a lot of legal bullshit to jump through.
>>14857740
The first time they caved after I threatened to walk out.
>>14857746
I already started sending out applications to other places. I also have a bunch of money in savings and on tap to keep me afloat for a couple years push-comes-to-shove.
>>14857633
Don't like driving in california? Leave. Literally nothing forcing you to live there.
>>14857991
He doesn't have to leave the state. Could buy a house in one of the desert cities, register car there, pass the initial smog and never smog again then just live in a major city and drive it there.
>>14857708
so why do you drive a shitbox that can't even go up a 1 inch bump then?
>>14857693
GS will you really get my shitbox to pass? It's obd2 tho :( I just want to sell it to get another car but it won't pass smog
>>14857633
cant you get an MOT in a different state or summin?
>>14858236
No, IIRC Californians are required to register their cars in California.
>>14857633
Do you not like to breathe?
>>14857678
How hard is it to find an empty road? Even in populous areas there's industrial parks
Where do I find the drive cycle of a 2000 vw jetta 2.0?
>>14858236
Our states are as big as your countries, yuro-kun. Can you MOT in Germany?
>>14861151
It's not really a magic sequence as these sheets suggest, they are just to simulate "normal driving," you can just drive the car and they will set eventually if nothing is wrong. You can find out if they are set or not with a cheapo code reader. We go through these sequences as techs to try and set all the monitors in a short time, if it's just your car drive it around for a few days.
>>14857633
maintain your shitbox you dumb fuck you have no one else to blame for yourself for letting your car throw codes and doing nothing about fixing them
>>14861176
+1
I did this shit with a bad o2 sensor in my Explorer. Between 25% and 75% a tank of gas, drive 20-30 miles, and it was enough to "ready" all the codes without giving me a CEL.
>>14861179
basically this. he's being hit with a cluestick and he's so dumb that it's not working.
>>14857704
Smog centers are run almost exclusively by Mexicans and I guarantee you they'll take a bribe.
>>14857704
Liberal states are the most corrupt.
>>14861891
Only seems that way because people get convicted of corruption in liberal states. In cousin-fucker states, snitches just get killed resisting arrest.
>>14862284
>people get convicted
>in modern America
Hah, any politician is too big to jail. Leeland Yee is responsible for countless deaths of Filipino nationals for selling guns to terrorists, and he's only getting a slap on the wrist.
Both corrupt conservative and liberal politicians should be tried and hung. This country has gone to shit, and sadly the only people who are saying how shit it is are a Bolshevik and an Orangutan.

Amazing, I can go for a drive in the winter with my windows open, while wearing shorts, on some of the best canyon runs in the country :)
How's storing your car for 6 months a year working out?
