[Vwdiesel] inspecting auto and my endurance

[Arkady Mirvis]

Bryan,
You pay taxes to support the goverment. K. Marx described the government as 
apparatus of oppression. Is this new to you?
In your case you are on your own, some kind of occasionally supervised 
anarchist.
If you want your diesel to be truly super-professionally inspected, bring 
your Westy to Portugal. Pay 28.40 euros ( $34) and your Westy will fail, for 
sure. The guys are do watch one another, do not take and work like robots. I 
am surprised how my autos do survive the torture.  When they test the brakes 
the shock's bumpers are hit and occasionally smoke is smelled. Only one test 
is missing  - the head - on collision with a concrete wall.
I do not worry anymore - just submit myself to the fate and run to the 
mirrow to see if any not gray hair left.
Drive straight home to get 200 grams of 112 proof ice cold russian wodka. 
Galina tells me that my snoring can be heard a block away.
One good thing: no head ache in the morning. Forgot to tell. I take right 
after waking up another 50 grams mixed with piri -piri ( hottest pepper ) . 
Now in my household are 3 autos. I can inspect them one after another. A 
sure way to become an alcoholic! I then fill the glass with 200 grams to 
wait for me and I am ready for another auto inspection!
When I asked Galina if she wants to take her Ford Fiesta for inspection, she 
told me that woman alcoholism is untreatable! And refused.

Ark

I just took my 82 Westy with 1.9na diesel for NJ inspection and was floored 
to
find out they have DROPPED inspection for all diesels older then 1996.
They just said scrap the sticker off and you are on your own from now on. 
Just
changed the inspection law as of 8/1/2010

I am sure I will get pulled over one of these days for not having any 
inspection
sticker on my car at all so I printed the notice out of then state DMV web 
sight
to keep in the glove box.

Pretty crazy for NJ.

If there is no computer to tell the good folks that are employeed by the 
state
to work there what could be wrong with your car, they send you home.
wow.

There's a lot of whistle. The only problem with straight pipes I have
encountered, is harmonics. It's fairly easy to get a weird harmonic inside
the cabin that just thrums. Outside isn't bad, but inside is not nice.
I've had straight pipe on my 81 Jetta, the front seats were fine, the rear
seat area had an exhaust harmonic that was unbearable. Weird thing was, it
wasn't loud in the front at all. Had to put a resonator in, that fixed it.
Were this my decision, I would install a free flowing muffler right away so
I wouldn't have to monkey with it later. A dynomax on my 97 Passat tdi
works well, there is some whistle, but no reverberating cabin noise at all.

An absent muffler is not legal. The person looking at it, needs to see a
muffler, even if it is a glasspack.
