It's a fat f*ck!!!!
 
Just got my smog check done, they let me pass the visual inspection even though I left my intake and exhaust on, here's how it went:

Weight: 3,125 lbs. OUCH!!!!

Ok, so it's a 1995 EX sedan with auto-tran, leather, moonroof, spoiler, spare tire, I guess the heaviest I-4 5th gen Accord possible, lol. Also, it seemed like I barely passed some of the tests, I dunno what their abbreviations mean, but here goes:

15mph run:

HC(ppm) Max allowed: 88
Average for passing vehicles: 21
My Accord: 88, lol

CO(%) Max allowed: .52
Average for passing vehicles: .06
My Accord: .47, pushin' it pretty close

NO(PPM) Max allowed: 845
Average for passing vehicles: 150
My Accord: 716, dayam!


25mph run:

HC(ppm) Max allowed: 53
Average for passing vehicles: 13
My Accord: 39, still high IMO

CO(%) Max allowed: .50
Average for passing vehicles: .05
My Accord: .22, better

NO(PPM) Max allowed: 885
Average for passing vehicles: 136
My Accord: 51, finally below average!!!


It's had all required maintencance tune-ups done and everything, I thought a fuel-economical family sedan would run lower than average numbers instead of borderline failing, huh
