I would have failed if this was in effect two months ago
I had a leaky tranny and it was spilling on the cat = smoke (>_<)
It was funny, the was trying to check it out and he let me pass anyway

Why do you ******* have such a hard time passing a legit smog.

My car is running a haltech, has no intercooler, has methanol injection, has a 13b-rew (FC), has zero stock intake or exhaust components.

I even premix, but I run the car long enough that it doesn't smoke before I bring it in.

The only smog controls I have are the evap canister, a single CAT, the airpump and an ACV (rigged to pump air just into the airpump), and an HKS CARB sticker on my intake.

I had no problem passing at the smog ref for a street legal engine swap.

I stupidly timed the ref appointment just a **** hair too far out from my registration date, but had no problem passing smog again at a random test only place I had never been too.

Smog is easy.

Are you some sort of an idiot who cant tell the difference between condensation and the other type of smoke.
