Haha, thanks Gabe! I've been having tons of fun with both the Green Machines. The Vigor will be in the fleet for awhile yet - it has been super reliable for the few miles I've put on it (currently only 105,000 or so). But I believe you're the first to express interest so I shall keep you posted!

I'm a little baffled. We are troubleshooting it now. The NOX reading came back almost double what it needed to be, and Hydrocarbons were a little high too. Yes we are thinking EGR, cat, or a little of both. My mechanic at "Hon-Man" in Tempe has the car right now and we are starting with a basic tune-up and health check. Worst case scenario, I can put Historic tags on the car and collector car insurance - thus avoiding the emissions fiasco altogether. Luckily it turns 25 years old in January so that's an available option!

I haven't taken it all the way there yet!

Had the windows tinted earlier this week. The car never needed it in Seattle, but in Phoenix it's pretty much a necessity.

Hmmm...with high nox, i would definitely suspect the EGR, but the HCs being high too could point to just plain needing a new cat

Looks like a straight example to me. Love the color, too. Ya know, it's not particularly easy keeping one old car road worthy. At what point do you think you'll need to hire a full time mechanic? Like the perpetually tinkering house painter from Murphy Brown. "Hey Tyson, I noticed the recirculate button wasn't working on the climate control in the integra today. I thought it might be an easy fix, but I've had to replace the wiring loom through the whole dash. It's tip top now, though."

Congrats there again Tyson. Really makes me miss mine. That car was a blast for sure. Should've kept her but...ohh well, need a barn to keep them all
