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 |

Cap and Trade is still being debated.... oh, I get it, that's a POLITICAL comment so it doesn't HAVE to make sense. Nevermind. Yes. How much? |

QUOTE I'd only consider selling it if it doesn't pass. I'd like $3k for it, it would come with all my spare parts(the state would effectively end my affair with 914s) and I'd even drive it to you in TX, for the cost of gas(it runs that good) I have no intention of fighting this. I'd end up spending way more money on a lawyer than I would buying parts and I'd still end up loosing the case. My appointment is set for the july 13th. I'm going to do the same thing I did the last time. Different MPS, some e-85, and a few degree retarded timing. If I fail, I get another free retest, I can get the car through the sniff test(i did it before). It's the guy looking for my smog pump and cat that will dam me. the letter from the state read as such QUOTE FIRST NOTICE IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING: Make/Year/License/VIN Dear Motorist, A vehicle registered to you recently was identified as potentially high-polluting by roadside emissions testing equipment. Roadside testing units located along Denver-metropolitan area roadways measure pollutants from vehicles as they are driven. Pursuant to 5 CCR 1001-13, Part G, Section IV.A, a vehicle’s emissions as measured by roadside testing units shall not exceed 3.0% carbon monoxide or 550 parts per million (ppm) hydrocarbons as hexane (1,075 ppm hydrocarbons as propane). The identified vehicle exceeded one or both of these limits within the past 30 days. Documentation of these test results is enclosed with this notice. DO NOT DISREGARD THIS LETTER - it is legal notification of your responsibilities under Colorado Law. Failure to comply with these instructions WILL result in suspension of this vehicle’s registration and a $100 fine, pursuant to 5 CCR 1001-13, Part G, Section VIII.A; and 1 CCR 204-11, Rule X, Section 1001.0((IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif)(1). This letter is to inform you that you MUST contact the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment to schedule a free emissions compliance inspection. If you fail to do so within 30 days of the date listed above, the vehicle’s registration will be suspended and you will be subject to a monetary fine pursuant to 5 CCR 1001-13, Part G, Section VIII.A; and 1 CCR 204-11, Rule X, Section 1001.0((IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif)(1).
