so I drove down to the inspection station with my turbo-free 01 yesterday.
that means 2 years before I have to do it again. But I wonder... since I can't find jack about DC inspection online, what do they actually inspect? They *never* even popped the hood.

They gave me a printout and here's what was on it:

So I guess as long as I have no codes and no stank-pipe... I'm good. bizzare. Dude didn't even stall the twin plate clutch.

oh and here's why it was good that I went yesterday:



the end. soon as it's not snowy or cold I start reinstalling.

 

sounds like ATL - OB2 they only look for a code, if OBD1 then you get the sniffer.

Did it really snow there? It was 70f - spring-like here.

 

they use the OBD2 to test the catalyst... it would be very easy to fake.

yeah, we got 4-5 inches without really any good weatherman warning...

 

mmm snow

 

12 inches since friday night here. I'm ready for spring.

 

Its been cold here but no snow. Sucks for you guys.

 

Illinois just took away all testing for 95 and older cars. OBDII cars are the only ones tested anymore.

I can only say how happy I am... 2 turbo cars moving from emissions free Michigan... the emissions is the only thing thats kept me from moving my cars here

 

Somebody needs to figure out the emissions thing. IMO all cars should be sniffed. A well tuned diy/aftermarket turbo car is going to pass a typical sniff test for daily driving IF tuned for that test. It may not get the absolute best mileage, but it will emit less polution.

 

yeah it wasn't fun. i parked on the street, but woke up early and moved it into my parking garage. then i had to go get bagels and a trip to CVS.

 

AAAAAHHH ****, I just had mine test over the summer. Pain in the *** the workers always do the long dyno test at least twice because they are borderline retarded
