3800 Registering Down South

[sweetness]

Anyone have any insight into registering your car outside of the emissions controls of northern illinois? I have read/heard of people regitering theer car in say, peoria, and not having to go through emissions. Anyone know what the rules are on doing this? do you actually have to LIVE down there, or can you register it at a friends address? I guess what im getting at is: does the car have to registered to the resident of the address, or can i register it at in my name at someone elses address. Thanks

Really with OBD-II it doesn't matter. They are going to scan the car for the presence of trouble codes and if they find any they then give you a run on the dyno. The goal is to have some sort of apparatus that will remove the codes.

I can visualize you there with "pass" slip in your hand Mike, car barely idling and all.

from what I hear.. if you fail with ODBII they won't even run it anymore.

My sister failed ODB2, and she asked for the dyno, and they refused, saying if it fails ODB they won't run it anymore.

and I think Hale had the same issue with his truck..

^^^ yup as of april of this year no more dyno if you fail... if you fail ODBII testing then you have to have the failure fixed and retest, no dyno for 96+ cars anymore

well, see the issue is what i plan on doing. I plan on moving an LS1/LT1 into a 93 or earlier RX7. So none of the models are OBDII, but the engine would be. I dont want to find out what will happen if it is registered in the emissions zone, because i have no intention of running an emissions friendly car. Any thoughts??
