pm me if you want some info and some good paint shops.

 

does anyone know if u have to get your car emission and inspection tested in the county that you live in? im buying an s2k that is on aem ems and it wont pass in my county but i know a guy from monroeville who will do the old lick and sticks for me.

 

Yeah, confused by the whole dealer thing. You just buy the suite from their website or something. Sound more like you're looking for a tuner though.

No you do not. My car is registered in Westmoreland County, and I've ALWAYS had the emissions done in Allegheny County, never had a problem. It's a state-wide standard emissions test, so there's no variation county-to-county. The only time county matters is determining whether or not emissions is required.

 

ya cause it has aem ems so there is no way it can pass legally.

 

Yeah if you have a lick n stick, take it there. There's no law saying it has to be inspected in the county it's registered in, you'll be fine.

 

do u know of any other lick and stick places? i have a guy that may do it for me if u do can u pm me?

 

No I don't know of any. We might be thinking of the same one in Monroeville, there used to be one over by Boyce Park, but they got busted a few years back, so I don't even know if they are still an inspection station. Kinda wish I did would be a lot easier to throw a few bucks at someone rather than swapping downpipes every time inspection rolls around, LOL.

 

ya cause i need to find one now cause as far as i understand the emission machine can even hook up to the stand alone

 

I see. I respect that. still looking for someone who could teach the basics. I'm trying to learn from reading on the hp tuners forum site. I hope to get the software in the next month or so. I'm a 3rd year mechanical engineering student and I feel like some of the things I wouldn't be able to learn unless some one taught me. I know you don't learn in a day which is why I've been reading everything I can, but I don't want to pay 500 for a book on just how to do it and still not be exactly sure. I wouldn't mind some hands on training, or just someone giving me an overview.

 

LSJ is by far the easiest car to tune. A monkey could do it, half the users on this website that tune their cars are proof of that. Most of it is because HPT has so many missing tables, only so much you can change.

Anyone who says they are a god at tuning Cobalts is just over-glorifying themselves. It's nothing hard.

Good starter car to get basic knowledge.

 

I get what your saying...but I have other people telling me different. I hear set up could be that hard part and if your not set up right your screwed. I would like a car to learn on that would be easier and if thats the lsj than I'm set.

 

lsj is the easiest to learn on. i had a few ppl help me learn the software, and like I said if your worthy I will oversee lol.

 

Damn, didn't wanna have to drive across state for an HP tune.

 

wont have to jared my buddy tunes hptuners in my hometown.

 

What test do I need to take to be worthy?

 

I was just in the Burgh yesterday. Is there ever any car meets tuesday, wednesday, or thursday?

 

You lucky guys with your 2007 and newer cars that can get HP tuners....

 

Autocross North Park Sunday, should have a set of used 255/35r18 RE-01r's mounted, will probably be in STX, or DS if I decide to bring the R6's.

 

my bf knows you. he is scott5 from steelcitystangs

 

We have been talking in one of the thread on TBSSowners.com.

 

Cool. Small world, isn't it?

 

haha idk stop by the shop sometime and chill. help out alil and maybe you can learn a thing or two.

 

There's not a lot going on mid-week. Fuddrucker's used to have a meet on Monday nights, AFAIK the new business is going to continue to have them. There's one at the bowling alley on Neville Island on Tuesdays but it's almost exclusively classic muscle cars.

Here's all the ones listed on carcruises.com:
