Whuups ! Sorry.
I wanted to post something useful, and in my haste, I forgot the most important information -
The tests are from my 1993 Honda Civic DX.
The car is a Texas car, and all testing is done here in Texas.

When I have more time ( I'm moving ) I'll try and clean up my posting a little bit. I'll add dates, as well as mileage then as well.

What I would really love to see here would be an emissions test result from someone driving on pure biodiesel !

Assuming one exists, I'd like to see any 1999 1.8L Diesel. The reason is, I want to see the compliance Max and Averages requirements of a 1999 diesel at approximately the same displacement. Even a Euro-test would be cool for the sake of comparison.

See graph on attached link:
Biodiesel as a Transportation Fuel

I have seen this one in more than a few books.

So I just passed smog with "flying colors." Here is the result:



Thing is, they didn't spin the wheels on the dynometer and they didn't give me any readings for NOx. I heard them rev the car up to what sounded like 1500 rpm and 2500 rpm, but not in gear.

I called back to double check that I was not missing a data sheet. They said that's all I'll need. That I pass and I can send in my info.

What's up with that?

Anyone else have that experience?

Another comparison

I just passed CA SMOG. Here is my data. Not bad for an 18 year old CAT, huh?

Maybe this is just a rumor, but I read somewhere that a California car that reads high in the sniffer test will get sent to a STAR station the next time around. My old MR2 Spyder certainly did. You would want to remove the warm air intake for smogging the car to reduce the NOx if that rumor is true. Actually you'd want to remove it anyways so that you don't risk failing if your cat is old.

I think the Star requirement might be triggered by age of the vehicle. I have needed a star facility since my 2012 test. I had to remove my XL brake booster canister and my WAI. They let me keep the grill blocking, but I maybe should have removed it for the sake of engine heat and higher possible NOx readings. I cleaned and gapped the OEM spark plugs and swapped them in before the test.
