I pay my car taxes tomorrow, then I'm thin on money until May. Payday on April 30th for the new job, but it's only for 5 days, decent paycheck this Friday from my old-FT (now PT) job, then it's every other Friday after that (4 days on each of those paychecks). So I've got about 3-weeks pay to last me about a month. I'd definately look forward to a future tech meet though.

Right now I have some problem about emission test. NOx GPM Limits 3.0000 my badboy was 3.2179 so I didn't pass emissions. I have long tube header & Magnaflow Catalytic Cat Converter from ebay last year. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/BMW-3...spagenameZWD1V I still don't know what i'm gonna do. should I buy a new Cat or get new Oxygen sensor? __________________ <------ Sold | | | 04-14-2008, 04:20 AM | #7 | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2007 Location: Denver, Colorado Posts: 3,212 | Is it something about the cat that causes that.
