Re: [VWoT] ETests/ Borbets

Well, I wimped out, just for the sake of not having the time to mess with it. I got a cat on flanges, which will be off tomorrow. Anyway, it blew two 6s, one 7, and two 0.00s. Single digits baby. Not bad at all, any lower and the computer likely wouldn't have thought it was running. Needless to say, a few hours of flogging afterwards was in order. Just to celebrate.

Next will be the Valdez, Adam, did you get it plated up North?

And thanks guys!
Cathy/Mom

Just going by the readings, they're good readings for the car running
without a cat... throw on a cat or borrow one and it shuld be ok ...
Another way is to lower the car as low as it can go and make them do a 2
speed idle test (at 2500 rpm and at idle) which is shuld pass..
