I bought mine in steel. I have this vague distrust of aluminum parts spinning at high speed on my engine for long periods of time.

i hate emission employees here, they never speak english (mostly bosnian or romainian). most cars have to pass a dyno test unless it was built before 1981 and these bastards are so careless, i've seen cars come off the rollers before. one car i owned nearly came off the rollers, apperantly the guy didn't understand torque steer in a front wheel drive car and it pulled so far to the left that the tire was at the end of the roller. then they drive the thing like they're trying to extract 1000 horsepower out of it. it's supposed to be a "real world" simulation but who the hell runs full throttle intermittently in city traffic? one time i took my pickup to get emissioned and it passed with no smog pump and an obviously leaking exhaust, another time i took an old datsun, paid $27 for them to fail it because the tail pipe was more than 8 inches from the outermost part of the body. nothing but a big, government funded racket if you ask me.Originally posted by mrltd View Post'88 Colony Park, white with wood grain contact paper, K code axle, hose pliers on heater hoses, factory duals, big plans in the future...
