    My Cars STILL Did That, Then I Put in an exhaust system. Drogar-Laugh(LBG).gif

    Everything has been REALLY cleaned up.

    We all complain about taking our cars for the emission
    test but it has made a big difference.

    Years ago my van failed the test because the thermostat was bad.

    I think I just hijacked this thread. Drogar-Oops(LBG).gif

    I don’t understand why my car has to go for emissions when they have no specs for it, oh well. I still need to put Lead Substitute in my car.

    In Ohio I think they only test 25 years and newer.

    If your car is old maybe they are only checking to make
    sure the factory emissions haven’t been tampered with.

    In Ohio we have a tube stuck up our tailpipe and the car is
    run on a treadmill at a certain speed.

    I think they are now changing to a system where they hook
    up a scanner to the car’s computer port.

    My car is 1970, I don’t think they have specs form the manufacturer, I think IL Emission just want to make sure it isn’t REALLY bad!

    Also I wish they would bring those vents like they had on the old tbirds that would open on the sides, letting air in around your feet.

    Yeah, that’s another thing that is gone from vehicles today.

    I think the reason is because it costs money to install
    all of those little extras.

    Look at electronics in our homes. My old stereo has plenty of
    knobs and buttons, but my new stereo, and also VCRs, have most
    of the controls on the remote control.

    It’s a lot cheaper to build a remote than to install everything on
    the stereo unit.

    Cars probably the same.

    EDIT…. Those floor vents were GREAT when you were moving!
    They really let in a lot of air.

    But, when you were stuck in traffic……………………………. icon_sad.gif icon_sad.gif icon_sad.gif

    They were great when you were moving, it would be great having them again!

    I’ve noticed the same things about remotes and stuff. The frustrating thing is I can’t even naviate menus on my dvds without the remote, a frustrating thing if I loose it!

    My post probably was difficult to understand. icon_sad.gif

    What I meant was, vent windows and floor vents take
    time to install, so it’s easier to just eliminate them.

    I compared them to stereos because it’s easier to elminate
    the buttons and put everything on the remote.

    I know, I still didn’t make sense, but you’re used to
    that by now!!! icon_biggrin.gif
