They failed me today because I have no emmsions whatsoever.

I thought i would be fine until i had to do an emmisions inspection but NOOO.

I would simply put the parts on if i had them. But I sold my cat and stock exhaust.

I passed everything else just fine.

Pisser is, my temp tags expire today and the dmv wont give me an extension.

So unless I can get a hook up. I have to put back on the air pump/egr/cat/stock exhaust.

Then illegally drive it back to the inspection station or pay big dollar to have it trailered.

Im ******* bitter about it to. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/angry.png

ANYONE KNOW SOMEONE THAT CAN WRITE ME A GOOD INSPECTION????!?

No I went to my Local Sunoco because they are a nice looking business.

I should go try the run down **** and just ask them if they will pass it for an extra $20

I may have luck doing it that way. Iim gonna go try as soon as the rain clears.

Fd3BOOST 05-29-2003 02:31 PM

Also, I was thinking. I could very easily doctor my temp tag to read 6/29/03 instead of 5/29/03 with some white out and a sharpie.

Do they ask for the temo tag back when you get new ones?

djgiantrobot 05-29-2003 03:34 PM

i've never seen them ask for it back, if they do just say someone ripped it off

mkoch1 05-29-2003 04:03 PM

carfull your temp reg also has the date on it. When I got my temp tags they didn't put a date at all on the tags. i though I had the golden tag, but the temp reg has a date on it. If you can't get the situation settled and need the car towed you can always borrow my car trailer.

Thanks Mark.

I will just play by the rules I guess.

I'll gather up the parts and put them back on the car.

I will drive it with no tags to the Sunoco though to have it reinspected.

**** em.

The DMV CAN SUCK MY DICK!!!

I dont see how the **** they stay in business as retardedly as it is ran.

Erik 05-29-2003 04:15 PM

are the cops on the lookout that hardcore for inspection stickers in the window?

djgiantrobot 05-29-2003 04:29 PM

down here you can't get hard tags until you get an inspection, we don't have a periodic inspection after that, only periodic emissions testing

No we dont have stickers in Md.

But I cant get tags without the inspection paper filled out.

djgiantrobot 05-29-2003 05:02 PM

well, i know someone how recently put their stock parts back on to try to pass emissions in VA, but he still failed https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...O_DIR#>/11.gif so if somone can hook him up with an emissions inspection in VA, i'm sure you could use those parts for your inspection

djgiantrobot 05-29-2003 05:05 PM

did i mention he failed really really badly?

I've been driving my car with no stickers for a month now. No problems..... https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683329.gif





I even park in front of cops. I guess the Florida plates help out though https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif

JadedX 05-29-2003 10:39 PM

ok so what is the prob, emissions or inspection they r two diffrent things



but i think u are talking about inspection becuse your looking to get tags.



i know someone that is getting me a sticker for my bike for 125 but i will ask him if he does cars.



if thats doesn't work i know 2 more people that say then can get a inspection ticket... but i only see them on sunday down north piont.



my cusion also is an inspecter but he is alittle bit of a tite ass and he might let u slide he might not it all depends.

he is the last choice because i dont want to **** up my ****



atleast i thought i had to have a cat..... not all the rest of the bullshit. i still have my stock cat if i need one

i'll see what i can do https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683473.gif

Your readings are almost 700% above the limit. Dear God! LOL

Shinobi-X 05-30-2003 10:54 AM

Dave, let me know how you get this worked out. I'm in the exact same situation as you, as far as the DMV not giving me a secong tag. MD really sucks with this stuff.

RX-Midget 05-30-2003 01:04 PM

Dave,

See if you can find a wasted stock cat (melted core...) and just take an air hammer to the insides and knock the center out of it. The inspector just looks to see if the "external" part is there. They won't look into the cat to see that it is gutted. We did this years ago on my friends Firechicken back in my mullet days https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...>/rolleyes.gif . Cops would pull us over and look and they couldn't say anything since it all looked stock but flowed like a mother https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png



Anyhow, good luck.

rfreeman27 05-30-2003 02:45 PM

thats not going to help him pass emmissions https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub..._DIR#>/sad.png

djgiantrobot 05-30-2003 04:26 PM

dave doesn't need to pass emissions, just visual inspection

Thats a thought. LOL

The guy that inspected it is a real ball breaker though. He claimied that he has worked on some older rx7's.

So he is trying to prove to me that he knows what he is talking about. Which sucks because now he is being a real PITA.

If i cant get a hook up. Im just going to have to put that crap on and drive the car over there.

Then yank it all back off. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub..._DIR#>/sad.png

vosko 05-31-2003 01:10 AM

Hey, that's cheaper than an M2 downpipe--why doesn't everybody do that? Anybody wanna help me clean out the pre-cat on my new FD after I get it inspected?

djgiantrobot 05-31-2003 03:44 PM

the downpipe will be better than a gutted cat, if you are strapped for cash you can do that but you'll end up with a real down pipe later.

93 R1 05-31-2003 10:52 PM

Don't worry about the pre cat for inspection. You only need 1 and they don't know there should be another one

Fd3BOOST 06-01-2003 09:53 PM

Yea I wasnt going to worry about the precat.

I dont care now either way, loudazzrx7 hooked me with an inspection.

Fd3BOOST 06-06-2003 10:33 PM

Sorry dave---I am trying to get ahold of the dude----I know its killing----I am trying to catch the guyt at work---Its quit a drive out there---But i will get it dude!!

Fd3BOOST 06-13-2003 03:12 PM

I gotta start putting on the stock parts in hopes of passing the test.

I would of loved to not had to but seeing as Im getting ready to leave for vacation next week. I cant wait any more. If you can hook it up by say Tuesday at the latest , good.



But I have to figure something out or I wont be able to go to Rotorfest.

Fd3BOOST 06-14-2003 04:14 AM

Ok like I said my deadline is Tuesday Roy, If you cant make it happen by then, i have to do something else.



Thanks for the effort.
