89 Cavalier Z-24 failed California smog (Page 1/1) V8 Vega JUL 18, 12:53 AM So now I have to take it to a mechanic tomorow and hope he can diagnose it correctly and fix the problem and then take the test again. Hope it dosen't cost too much. For you people in states where you don't have to go through this expense and aggervation and worry realise how luckey you are. $50 is the cheapest to get a smog check. Oh the joys of living in a Democrat party controlled state. As a side note its a 5 speed, took me two years to find a stick shift one. Dennis Communism is the logical end of the left wing road. katore8105 JUL 22, 03:25 PM My solution is to just ship it to me. I would love one! Monkeyman JUL 23, 01:46 AM Is it even possible to pass the Cali smog test? I've heard of brand new cars/trucks that don't pass. htexans1 JUL 29, 05:55 PM A little moola in the right hands and anything will pass smog. lol
