Just so you all know Juicy failed again once again for Nox. My readings were as follows

Carbon Monoxide:My score 0.2 grams per km the standard is 24.2 so I passed that one easy & to give you an idea of just how clean it is that is less then 1/10ths of what a new car is allowed

Hydrocarbons: My score 0.66grams per km the limit is 2.1 grams per km so once again passed easily

Oxides of Nitrogen: My score 3.84g/km limit 1.9g/km so fail by EPA standards the RTAs standards are actually far more lenient & I would have passed easily but it is an EPA defect not an RTA one unfortunately

So what do I do next. Pretty simple really. Richen her up I passed the first 2 so easily that I can afford to run heaps more fuel & more fuel will lower Nox.

Only problem is there is only 2 testing stations in the state & they are both booked for a month (as usual) so I have to wait until then to take it down for my next go. Which has been my main problem right along every time I test it I have to wait several months before they'll let me try again which has really drawn things out but hey I'm definately getting there so shouldn't be too much longer.

Sorry to hear mate, thats gotta suck! Good to hear you're still pretty optimistic though, cant imagine how anoying it would be to go through this over and over.

You should make a couple of bookings so if you fail you can back the next day

I made 2 bookings a week apart from each other actually. I'm abit annoyed at myself that I didn't do that this time but I thought I'd pass so I didn't bother but I made sure I would be safe next time.
