Which VEIP station did you go to? I know the one in Forest Hill MD, is
pretty laid back. They never checked under my 92 318 for a conv. and I too
passed with a FIPK, catback, and MP comp. Only thing I did was add a few
bottles of isopropyl alcohol (dry gas) to my gas. They did have to put
blocks under the front wheels, it kept jumping out of the
"treadmill"...hehe..
