I was worried that I no longer had my emission system sticker under the hood. I got a copy from Blue Cat. I also switched my EGR bypass back to stock for the test. The guy didn't even open the hood. Said all he needed to know is the engine size. Heck I could have had my Cats removed and he would not have known. Live and learn. This message has been edited by BeWare on 09-17-2002 at 02:35 PM |

In Arizona, cats are exempt free for five years, then they just plug into your computer box to see if a code for emissions comes up. My question: if disconnecting the negative side of battery erases the codes in the computer, couldn't I just do that before going to the emissions station???

I got around the emissions by buying "collectors plates". Several other locals have, also. |

Ed: I asked about "Collectors Plates" here in Minnesota and was told I could get them ONLY if I drove the vehicle to and from car shows. Since Jo Ann and I (as well as jo Ann and Jordan, our 3-year old) like to cruise once in while, we didn't qualify. Do the same rules apply in Ohio? Kevin ------------------ |

Kevin, I don't think so. I asked about them at the local registar and they told me I had to get them from the state. I had an 800 number and called and said I had a Prowler and she said Okay and gave me a temporary number to use until the plate got shipped. It came within two weeks I think. I didn't read the application. No one will stop you anyway. You can simply say you are going to a car show. How would they know? I truly do not know the answer. The reason I decided to get them was the fact that last year they could not get the computer to work at the emission joint so they gave me a "free Pass". This year they told me I needed an emission check. I said that I had gone last year but they said since it did not pass I had to go this year. I would be due to go back next year, since it is every other year. (Odd number cars on even number years so that it is simple.) lol. It costs either $ 20 or $ 30 every other year. What a joke. They were all leaning on the car last year and getting in and out of it. I was having a fit. That is my story and I am sticking to it. |

Kevin, Ohio used to have the stipulation, (200 miles/yr.) on the registration form for collector plates. Ed and I had the same conversation about limited driving. I applied for my collector plates after Ed told me he got his. That stipulation has been eliminated from the forms. To Eds' point, Who's going to check it anyway? Lee |
