    Welcome. Have a good look around here, and also at http://bigcoupe.com/phpBB2/index.php

    Good luck with your Cali smog check BTDT.

    If you don't know the motor history, the biggest areas of concern are:

    valve spring recall/replacement

    timing chain rails potential degradation

    and the steering box mounts tend to crack.

    Post pics.

    Cheers,

    Ray

    add thrust arm aka upper control arm bushings causing wheel shimmy, which can be aggravated by non stock wheels and or worn ball joint bushings and odometer gear failure
