been a long time...

So not much new with the car, still plunking along.  I moved to Beverly so I'm trying to bike to school more (healthier and saves on gas).  Ran into a major obstacle last week when my mom informed me my registration had expired.  Had to re register the car but first pass it through emissions.

Macy had failed emissions twice two years ago when I first got her going, and I didn't think to fix it, till now.  Took her to Bahr Auto in Torrington, CT (since she's registered in CT) and they didn't me a huge favor and managed to pass her.  Nothing illegal, but he held open the EGR sensor, and she passed with flying colors.  What had happened was the EGR wasn't hitched up since I'm still using the '95 EGR with the '93 harness.  I'll just have to swap them out over the summer (either with new or the EGR from the old motor).

I have a year to fix it before she has to go through emissions again, I'll try not to forget.

In a week or so I'm going to look into getting the motor mounts replaced and completely welding up the exhaust, so that should fix it permanently, as well as fixing my wheel hop problem :)

tis all.
