At the time I did my last smog, I had recently solved a misfire problem, and ignition coil fail. And the upstream O2 was apparently approaching fail. Maybe it won't be such a biggie this time.

Now I have a stuck crank pulley bolt. I have the special tool for it. I bent an extender on my breaker bar, trying to torque the thing loose. Just thought of P-blaster. Now I wait (and get another extender).

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
