I'm in love with your car 😉

Thanks, it's quite a project. I bought it in 82 and since then it has had many combinations of engines, paint, wheels and so forth. I kind of like this one. 😀

I'm planning on adding a turbo down the road, whenever I can afford it.

Hmm I thought Isuzu folded in the U.S.?

I bought one of the last ones available in the state 🙂

Well I tried to get my Isuzu serviced and even Honda didn't want to look at it (same car as the Passport). Are you sure that was such a good idea? 😀
Click to expand...

Ya, im told that most if not all of the Isuzu dealers will no longer sell the vehicles, but they will still keep their service departments open. The dealership where i bought it is a large multi-brand dealership, so i am not too worried about losing service.

Also, the truck i purchased has the identical (made/assembled in same factory) engine to the Chevy Colorado. As a last resort I can always take it to a Chevy dealer. (which the lot I bought it at has)
 
Here's mine (current)

46G3 - 2.0 Liter Turbo

Everything stock except for Performance Friction 2 Piece Floating Rotors for the front, SS Brake Lines, Beatrush Underpanel (because the plastic tabs suck on stock), Rexpeed Small Spoiler (because the stock basket handle is rice and blocks the rear view), Greddy EVO2 Exhaust, Hotchkis Rear Sway Bars

EVOIX

Used to have one before tradded it in

04 Dodge SRT-4 - 45K Miles

One went bad and started throwing codes so they were sawed off in favor of a free-flowing exhaust system that nets me better fuel mileage. 😉 Having a dead cat is just as bad as not having it at all.

Both are illegal

Incorrect.

Removing an operational catalytic converter is illegal (violation of EPA regulations). It is not illegal to continue driving a car with a dead converter.

It is also worth noting that most cars will still handily pass tailpipe emissions testing even without the catalytic converter being present. For example, a number of people (myself not among them) with 951s have removed their catalytic converters. These cars all still pass local emissions testing even without the cat.
