Congrats Lagos.
It's funny how it is the same for many countries. Here in Russia you need to pass technical inspection each year for it to be road legal. It's kinda hard doing that on a JDM with lights working differently and all the other little stuff. But $100 plus the right person - and you get your sticker delivered to your door |

no emissions testing here... we just need to get our cars safetied... which includes checking if seat belts work, all lights/signals, tires, brakes, suspension, etc.... the simple stuff! oh and no body holes (rust) that one is pretty common out here because of all the sand/salt they use on the roads in winter.
congrats though Lagos! your car is awesome. -------------------- |

I'll sell mine out of the celi. Good til march 06 :-P
I dont think they even did emissions when I took mine for inspection. Horn, lights, brakes, ..... bald tires, exhaust leaks, done. Hes like, just go get the tires replaced, and heres your sticker. -------------------- If anyone needs interior stuff, etc, I'm parting whats left of my celi out. Just ask.

I guess I am lucky here in New Mexico. We have no emissions tests, safety, etc. Good thing too, I am running open headers on my '87 celica. If they had something like that here, 3/4ths of the people would fail lol. Gratz Lagos, and keep on boosting

I guess it's so people can't steal your stickers. I've heard of people scanning some, photo shopping them and taping them in their windshield with scotch tape -------------------- |

so you guys are saying that a jdm 3sgte wont pass emissions regardless? no matter what you do to it? would it be the same for a 3sge beams? now im actually having second thoughts of getting a 3sgte....not really! but now theres an obstacle in the way.....

a JDM engine does not have EGR, therefore, if you have strict emmisons testing in your area, it can fail on that reason alone.
there have been people who have passed the tailpipe sniffer with good working cats on a JDM engine, in states that are not as strict as CA for example. -------------------- Former Team 5SFTE pro member ;)
