With the help of some of the great Colorado 914 guys(notably Mike and Chris W) i got my car to pass the e-check. Read about it here.
I thought everything was fine and dandy. With my 5 year collector plates on it I never have to worry about emissions again(bring on the SBC). But in Colorado they have these white child molester looking vans that sit on the highway entrance ramps. They use a laser to measure the emission of all the car entering. I drove by one and got a letter in the mail. Now I have to bring my car to a state inspector for another evaluation or my registration will be revoked and a $100 fine imposed. Their's no way I'm going to pass now, with no Cat an no smog pump. The irony is my car runs better than it ever has. F-U CO |

Bummer I thought California was the only ones that had the road side sniffers. I've seen a couple of them including a portable dyno tester on the side of the road with cars getting waved in.
I've seen them at the bottom of a clover leaf ramp and wondered if you get enough speed then coast through them with the engine off if that would work. |
