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 |

I don't think this has been said yet, but don't mess with your emissions on the car until you call the guys up and explain to them that your car is exempt from this nonsense.
They'll probably give you some cock 'n' bull story about how it doesn't matter, etc. Give them a second call a day or two later and talk to someone else. If it still comes out to be, "well because we say so" inform them that "your sorry it had to come to this because (fill in with conversion details)" and hang up. Go get a lawyer and explain to them exactly what has transpired and inquire what would it take to get this mess caused by some lowly bureaucrat cleaned up in your favor. Heck, it might just be a simple letter typed on a lawyers letterhead that makes it go away. It's not your fault, it's some departments fault in the government. You don't have to put up with this attempt because your CAR IS OLD (and exempt)! My $.02 |
