Am I Gunna Pass?

[BigAls87Z28]

Alright, today is the day. Everything is fixed and its time for me to go to inspection for the 87. 3 years and 3 months overdue, its time to get it done!

My concerns are
1) engine of course
2) ebrake
3) other

Now I have done preflight inspections, and everything is so far good. I will remove all dangling and hanging things in my car, horn works.
With the cam, lack of egr and AIR, Im hoping that it will be good still.
The ebrake comes up high, but holds the car.
And then there is always the random off the wall one.

So...whats it gunna be?

[2RARE84s]

Why don't you tighten up your e-brake? fairly simple to do, but is a little time consuming if you don't have a ratcheting box wrench.

[LTb1ow]

Its a 305, its makes emissions? :mrgreen:

[NJSPEEDER]

E-brake is a two minute fix. Take care of it and you will be fine.

[WildBillyT]

Good luck!

[bandit88]

i think your gunna fail for something retarted like the license plate light. always happens to me with my f body

[BigAls87Z28]

This would also be the first time I have had to inspect a car in 5 years.
The 87 has always passed without problems.
If I need to adjust it, I will.

[SteveR]

Good luck!

[chrisfrom nj]

good luck

[Lt1_8U]

hopefully you will pass but knowing the inspection stations..they will pull something out that is completely retarded

[NjbadSS]

the inspection station around my area all hate on older cars. No matter what good condition your ride is in, they fail it for something.. i brought my brothers older firebird threw once and thought for sure it was going to fly right threw...wrongggg.. It failed bc a bolt on the seat was loose and the seat moved a little.. you believe that ******! but good luck with yours!!

[Iroc-z86]

let us know, i am going to be taking my 305 tpi with vette heads, lunati cam, new cat, no egr/air threw inspection this june, hope that passes.

oh and good luck!

[sweetbmxrider]

meh, flip a coin!

[pound]

hope it passes. keep us updated!

[BigAls87Z28]

Drum roll please.......






















FAILED! Apparently I didnt put my new insurance card in, and the ones I had expired YESTERDAY!!
Passed emissions with flying colors.
1146 on the NOx, which was the standard
HC's and CO% was still way low. But yeah, looked all over my new place, looked over my fathers...cant find it. And I cant find the ones for the Caprice either!! I called Esurance, and they said they mailed it on the 6th of October....so thats smack dab in the middle of moving. NO idea where it is. So they are on order.

[sweetbmxrider]

hahaha i guessed right!
sweet the emissions passed.

[GP99GT]

oh look i guessed right too

I did look through the center console and found all my time slips from years ago, as well as gas recepts from Sunoco that was as low as 1.69 for 93 Octane.
I also looked through 21 years of recepts of every single thing that was replaced on the car. I have my collection in my garage showing recepts from all the parts and services that I have done. Even has the sales recept from when my father purchased it from Connor Chevy.
I was very impressed with the car passing.
So I should be getting the card sometime this weekend...damn Thanksgiving.


Edit: Yes Scott, you can, and I did print it up thinking that it was good to use. Problem is, there is a big header that says "CANNOT USE FOR STATE INSPECTION"
I stopped right there. I can use it so the police dont throw me a ticket, but they will see that and send me on my way...again.

[BonzoHansen]

That is gay. The ones I got from hagerty don't say that.

I was rooting for you...trust me I was but I voted for failing for something else. I only knew this would happen because the inspection station is a joke and they love finding little things wrong. At least what you need to pass is cake so you don't need to spend any $$ to get it through.

[69BirdX]

my stock 91 doubled every emisson standard ..........

[BigAls87Z28]

Trust me, Im excited its only an insurance card. The odds were stacked...

[bandit88]

congrats on the fail...... is always something unexpected
when i took the black car through the rear axle seal went on the way up....... and well yeah failed for brakes
didn't think i was going to pass..... the brakes were a little ucky

[SteveR]

State inspection won't accept printed copies. Same thing happened to me once. You have to have the official card that's from the ins company.

[JSPERFORMANCE]

Passed emissions huh? Damn, who ever tuned that thing must be THE MAN!

That makes 2 cars I know that have failed for that... wow.

[BonzoHansen]

I failed once because a spring in my seat stabbed the DMV guy. LOL. I always wondered how that hole got in that seat, I guess he got in just right.

Good deal Al. Old stickers usually bring the extra close inspection glasses out.

[NastyEllEssWon]

i failed because i yelled at the guy for revving my car. i had a blinker light out. still do. never went back. dont care too much.

[sweetbmxrider]
