He passed emissions with a 3sgte swapped celica and is able to drive it legally.

[lagos]

passing emissions for us swaped guys is like finding out that your girl isint pregnant! haha

[Mr_chOps]

WTF?!?! how in the hell did you pass emissions??

[x_itchy_b_x]

i plan to pay to pass. i dont care how much lol.
jdm is the hottness. thats the price you pay though.

[devilsden97]

oh ok now i get it WOOT!

[lagos]

WTF?!?! how in the hell did you pass emissions??

i made friends with a local midas shop. the manager there hooked me up last year and this year too.


it was pretty funny cause i droped the car off with the manager, but when i picked it up, he already left. the guy ringing me up said " man, rich (manager) really let u slide on that emissions." lol

[x_itchy_b_x]

my guy i norm go to stuck a broom stick up my exhaust lol.
hes like wtf no muffler core. wtf no cats!.
(the broom was almost all the way in lol) he was like w/e just give me my 30 bucks.
didnt check one thing just plugged it in an said yes to everything.
but im afraid now for the 3s cause its odb1 and they put it on the sniffer.

money alway talks...so no worries there. just go back to the same guy and give him 30$ again

lukly mine dont even want a bribe, just the standard 60$ emissions fee

[Mr_chOps]

damn..you guys are lucky with emissions. the guy i usually go to wont pass you for sh**. one of my homies went to smog a 240 with sr20det and he offered to pay like 40 bucks to pass..and that old man was like..HELL NO!! YOUR CAR IS ILLEGAL. GET OUT OF MY SHOP!

should have offered 100$

[kenjamatic]

my cousin was passed with an integra gsr motor in a 1993 hatch...and paid $250...the year after that he wouldn't do it because someone snitched on the owner of the shop (it was more like a sting operation)...

[x_itchy_b_x]

yeah. you cant be telling everyone of ur friends saying "hey go here hell pass you" then word gets out and people ruin it.

[Cutrara]

My sister did that with her POS neon, needed rotors, pads and drums and shoes. Later, she rear-ended someone.

Let's just say she learned her lesson.

[Jaws4God]

wait... the 3sgte won't pass inspection???

[x_itchy_b_x]

a stock usdm 3sgte should have no problems at all.
but lagos is modded ect. and a jdm 3sgte has no egr system.
so its possible to fail easier.

[lagos]

wait... the 3sgte won't pass inspection???

it would probably pass IF i had at least one cat on there..lol

[celicaGT96]

what about a turbo 5s.......
what do they even check for??

[_rz_]

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

[BBoYRuGGeD]

nice bro...i need my inspection sticker soon also. but i gotta friend who has an uncle who will hook me up with one...but i gutta dish out like 150 i think.

bboy

[97lestyousay]

No tests in my area. Some times it pays to live in the sticks.

[95gtschick]

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.

[dustinkemp]

yea i was wondering what everyone was talking abotu cause ive never had to do ne kind of inspections (not that im hiding ne thing) but still i felt left out lol but i didnt know some states did that and some didnt.

[Valo666]

i feel bad for you guys in the States...thouse stickers r ugly..lol. Up here, all we get is a small sticker thats about 2inches wide n 1 inch tall that goes onto your rear licence plate.

[BlackCelicaGT94]

Lagos -- i was reading on the first page and it sounded like without ur hook up you wouldnt have passeed emissions - is this correct? why is that!

and why do you guys have stickers on ur windows?? we have ours on our license plates. it looks like ur in the military with ur window ones

[mark_426]

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.

[Driftz]

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

[Cutrara]

and why do you guys have stickers on ur windows?? we have ours on our license plates. it looks like ur in the military with ur window ones

Blah, PA tags. 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

[Blakout16]

thats awesome... what are emishions? lol :-P typically if u dont live in any major city, emissions dont mean nething.

well thats for oregon atleast

we have 3 stickers here. the one on your rear plate is to tell that your registration is current. its basically really small and just has a cetain color for that year and a date printed on it. you get it in the mail every year after you pay them 35$ or so .

then there are 2 in the window. one is for safety type of stuff, like brakes, tires and the other one is for your tail pipe emissions. you have to take the car to a certified shop and it normally costs about 65$ plus, any parts and laybor you might have needed if your car failed inspection. oh...and you have to show them proof of insurance and registration for the current year, before the test or you dont pass regardless of you car.


i would have failed the emissions part of the test because i do not have any cats on the car. the cats are what help keep the polution numbers in check, but they also rob you of a lot of hp on a turbo car.

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.....

[presure2]

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.
