Ii had mine done last week assuming that you are obd2 then it shouldnt be a problem they just hook up the computer they dont do a visual inspection.

Just make sure you dont have any CEL

i dont think so... i have a 93 sc gutted and it failed both times. Im driving back down in april with cats on to pass. If i can find one that i can slip a few to pass with no cats that would be great. Especially if i so go with the 1jz

What does CEL stand for

Sorry CEL is check engine light

93 would be OBD1 so they actually put a sensor in the tailpipe.

hmm.

YOu could try importatlanta.

Welcome aboard you sort of posted your introduction in the middle of someone elses thread (which is bad etiquette) But no big deal. Club Lexus has a south east regional forum and a local club called Seloc, which is based in Atlanta and pretty active. www.seloc.net lots of get togethers and such.

We also have NOPI and Lexfest in Atlanta this year which are huge events. Welcom aboard.

OK if you are driving down with the CATS on, why don't you do the test then with the cats on ?

Another trick to pass is to put race gas in and get inspected. Race gas runs very lean and will pass cars 95 % of time if they don't do a Visual, which most don't.

I think ima just put the old cat back on. Get it tested and then take it back off wen i get back to ny. I should pass with the main cat thou, juss make sure its nice and hot b4 i go in for inspection. Oh and another thing.... can i got get my test done at 2 different locations and use ONE passing test and keep the other for december (my bday) Basically so i dont have to drive down again in dec.
