oh no3s I gotta go get emissions testing done today. Luckily for me one of my good friends back home is doing the testing at Valenti Audi/Saab/Lotus/vdub in Watertown, CT. I can't wait to pass emissions testing with a header and midpipe installed wohoo. Haha OBDII, I pwned you!
Nice the CT emissions testing looks pretty comprehensive:

For older cars they even check for gas cap vapor leakage with a pressure test. That's awesome.
Checking for a cat? yup, I have one.. but seriously I could have just replaced my cat with a resonator, would they know? Wait I do have a resonator.. so it'll look like two cats hehe.
I can't wait to see my car on the dyno finally
I hope it registers under 100whp and the state of CT sends me a "so sorry" card.

Finally got that dang goo of my sides from removing side moldings
Wait those are the ridiculously long race ramps that they show like lambos going up on? yikes.
On Saturday I got my car up on some rhino ramps and it was really close on my P5 (1.8"-ish drop).. and the 03.5MSP lip isn't really any lower. Mark's car couldn't touch the ramps at all, the edge of the ramp was like a foot from his tire with the AutoEXE lip plus his drop (pro kit IIRC).
They look nice though, how much were they?

Also see here: http://www.msprotege.com/forum/showpost.php?p=2805457&postcount=6929They were $290 shipped and will likely be my sole Xmas present this year (other than underwear and socks). I figure it's a lifetime purchase as I plan to have my garage filled with at least one road scraper at all times.
I agree with you - but these guys should be used to scraping on things (former owner of a DGM lipKansei said:

Those are not decals. The flames are painted on. I will probably be repainting the car next year sometime though.

Yeah, these are the longest ones they make (67"): http://www.raceramps.com/ and there is no way even these will fit the Boston ant killer
Stacking up some 2x10's (etc) should work out pretty well for you, but be hella heavy ... I'm thinkin' you need an air ride setup ...
