Yeah, i know i don't need to pass anymore, but i think you still need to have cats. I'm not really worried about passing or legality. I just don't like dealing with the fumes and having my clothes smell. It bothers me for some reason...makes my eyes water, so took my off-road pipe off and put the catted pipe back....and then i clogged the cats up by not running the pump. So i had to put it back on before slapping my brand new catted mid-pipe on.

I have pics of what i've been doing, but not quite sure people want to see me rebuilding, sandblasting and painting up a smog pump. Hell, i'm cleaning and painting up my charcoal canister as we speak. Most of my A/C stuff is still in boxes. I need to pick up a working compressor, but i might just buy new. Prob spend a good $500-600 or so just on putting my A/C back in this winter. Worth every cent to me when i can enjoy my car on hot humid days and not be uncomfortable.

Also been replacing old vacuum lines, replacing rusted hardware with zinc-plated stuff, and painting up misc stuff. I have VERY high standards when it comes to my cars...my friends think i'm nuts for the amount of detail i put in things. :)

Thanks man. I'm just enjoying every minute of working on all the detail stuff.
