So i know that theres write-up's and threads having to do with wire tucks but thoes all have to do with like compleate wire tucks and from what iv heard you cant have your car pass emission's. And even more so being that im totaly new to this i dont know what i can and cant take out. i wana be able to pass emissoin's as this is a DD. So if anyone could let me know what i can take out that would be much appreciated. thanks.
^^^ that's if you choose to remove emissions equipment... you get to choose what you want to tuck you know.... you can take out anything or leave in anything.....
Exactly. Im aware I can pic what i wana take out and not take out I'm not a complete noon. I'm just asking what can I take out that doesn't effect emissions. And how do I take out the parts that don't mess with it.
No sorry there's no pics but if it'll help ill post some(warning tho its not pretty lol) no I don't have ether my car is bone bare. No ac no power windows no roll bar not even a style bar not even the frigin cup holder lol. However I am unaware if I have ps. I believe I do just from how it feels but I am not sure.
okayy, ya you could loose that and get a little more feel to the car and loose a little weight but also loose a little drive-ability if that bothers you. You could tuck brake lines, any loose wires, fuse boxes, pretty much anything except the engine itself haha, as for the emmisions stuff you could always do it the *coughillegalCOUGH* well...you know. :fab:
you have made more threads then you have posted. i suggest PMing someone with your questions, someone who has proven to be knowledgeable on wire tucking.
and honestly, if were dealing with someone whos not even sure they have power steering, thats a cause for concern. i wouldnt worry about a wire tuck right now, what you need to do is READ. you are miles away from being able to do that. and stop posting questions, only ask if your in the process.
ask someone, they will be more than happy to help, just dont make a thread, especially since your not about to go through with this.
Well dk I don't pm people because I don't know if they well be cool and help someone new (like Ryan) or someone unwilling to lend support and a helping hand and help teach someone new(such as....). And ya I could always just pay someone a lol extra to pass it lol but with my luck that will backfire massively. I'll get pulled over and my car impounded for something stupid like (cop) I saw that red miata and I knew from how it was sitting that there's no way that car got smogged. lol
seriously? your scared of getting shot down over a forum? its called asking for help, if no one gives it to you, then move on, ask someone else. but your on a forum to help people.. or troll... dont ask a troll
just PM somebody, like, hey so i noticed you posted a lot on this subject, blah blah blah, i had a couple questions wondering if you could help me? blah blah blah mydicksinmymouth blah blah blah..
and it cant really backfire if your getting your car "smogged", worst case scenario, cop pulls you over, you show your smog, he lets you go.. their not gonna go hunt you down or anything and stand by you while it gets tested. and in regards to that mater, strictly keep this specific subject via PM.
so now go find someone who seems to post a lot in the tuck thread, and ask him your questions
You live in California. You can't legally tamper with or remove any emissions control equipment. That covers pretty much everything in the engine bay. Buy yourself a factory workshop manual and educate yourself on exactly what's in your engine bay and you'll see there really isn't much you can do and remain legal besides tucking some wires for the headlamps and rerouting your brake lines/ master cylinder to inside the firewall.
You won't pass California emissions so your experience isn't relevant. If your car was registered in southern California and a cop pulled you over say goodbye to your car.
not sure if you saw this or not..... thats an open invite for noobquestshunsgalore
so go pour your heart out and ask.. even if your not even going to be doing this anytime soon
Hey bro, I live in Arizona and I have pretty much everything removed from my engine bay that I don't use. My car just did it's emissons a few months ago and passed with flying colors. This was even before I upgraded to MegaSquirt. If you want any pics or advice PM me. I have lots of time to help ya out. Deployments are BORING!
