Had no trouble with any type of emissions and in fact the recalls were not even completed before I got it. No issues at all, beside the CA DMV being a pain in the ***....good luck let me know if you have any more Q's.

My mechanic said as long as its running well shouldn't have any problem passing emissions tests. Gotta let it warm up real well though.

One smog station agreed but when I brought it in their mechanic was stumped. He said the nothing was where the blueprints said it was. So then I took it to a rotary specialist in Sacramento. They gave it to the smog shop next door to them and it passed. What can I say. It's possible they had a special relationship with them or something but I really don't know. Since we don't have regular smog checks in my county (no smog up here, more trees than people), I haven't had to take it into a smog place since.
