did the Ministry of Transportation inspection over here in england and passed everything - except the *** emissions...as I feared I might for not having the downstream O2's in place. He explained that this was the reason why and I now have only 2 weeks to do a partial retest before I will have to pay the 100 dollars again. The partial is only half...I need to contact Murillo and see if he turned off the downstream O2's and, if so, how difficult it will be to turn them on and if that will interfere with the tune - any ideas if this will be the case?

yeah, I got my brother in florida to purchase some O2's and he will overnight them tomorrow...I will have to call Murillo tomorrow also to inquire about whether or not the downstreams are even on...I'll give the MOT guy credit - he did all he could to pass me but could not

Hey James, Jerry here. Finally got my computer up and running. Just wanted to let you know I saw that Murrillo Motorsports just joined this site. Maybe you could contact him that way. Also I heard that octane booster will help you pass. Dont know if thats true or not just something I heard. Anyway, keep me posted and good luck! J.

yeah, I was wondering when you were going to join...Concerning Murillo, I will be calling his shop here in a minute or so and hopefully finding out about whether or not the downstreams are on or off! I also should be getting those O2s in by friday...Another thing - I think I remember seeing the connector on the wiring harness leaving the car toward the sensor harness melted from dangling near the exhaust. I hope this is not the case but if it is I think I may be able to splice the wires together.

got in touch with Murillo and he burned another chip with the downstream o2's on for the purposes of emissions testing and they mailed it express for me! england's ozone will greatly appreciate it for at least an hour or so when it arrives :marc: ! Thanks to everyone over at Murillo's :mick: !!
