Default emissions: they are shifting my car like you'd kick a dog.
I'm sitting here, pretty unenthusiastic about this. they sent a second guy in, since the first apparently couldn't deal with a clutch that doesn't drive like a 1978 F150.

Really cringeworthy. excruciating.

They're done. I hope it freaking passed.

Weak. Not really that hard to drive an audi transmission smoothly.

Default Hey, I'm DRIVING a '78 F-150 and it doesn't shift near as nice as my S4!!
On the flip side I recall when I was there that the turbo was making the guy overshoot the target speed big time. It was a riot watching the little TARGET/ACTUAL graph (or whatever it was called) and it falling behind then blowing by!

I can't imagine what they would be like in a big turbo STI/EVO or something...

hmm, for emissions here they just hook up the ODBII and call it a day.

Those "Hood Monkey's" @ the emissions centers are pretty much useless IMHO.

The entire AIR program is worthless for reducing pollution. It's just a make-work program.
