Etest 20 year rule - ontario
so as of jan 1, 2010, my fc becomes 20 years old. I am wondering if ontario still has the law where cars older than 20 years do not need to do an etest.

It's just a fact that as 7 enthusiasts, if we want to continue to enjoy our aging rides, we're going to have to do what is necessary to meet emissions (pony up for new, high performance cats, tune moderately, etc.), or our cars will be off to the crushers. Says the guy who runs no cat, because Alberta has no inspections or testing. At some point we will, and I'll end up replacing my RB pre-silencer with a cat again, hopefully one that will be no more restrictive. Us NA guys can't afford to give up horsepower

Easiest way to avoid e-testing: Sell FC, buy FB. One of the first things I did was ditch the emissions equipment and exhaust. No cats, no stupid hoses, no air pump. The car will never have to see an emissions sniffer, and I get to save $32.50 (or is it $35.20....?) every two years.

Its 36.75 man. But your car must stink to high heaven lol. My FC stinks so bad with no cat on it I'm puttin one on. I will agree Drive Clean is a giant money grab, but it does get rid of the shitboxes that make you nauseous in traffic.

i was wondering about this. i knew that after 87, it would still need an emission test regularly. but what if was to buy a 87 turboII so its exempt from emissions, but put a 90 TII engine?
i know its a hassle and what not but im just thinking from straight from an emissions test point of view...
granted, i dont know alot about rx7s. been trying to learn what i can tho. its just from what ive read. emissions give alot of owners a hard time.

Banned. I got OWNED!!!
Though cars 1987 and older do not need to be e-tested, they still need to have all the emissions control equipment that was originally installed by the manufacturer. Smog police can hand out fines to older vehicles, such as FBs, for not having cats or for any other tampering of emissions control systems.
There aren't many smog cops, but they are around. I've had the pleasure of meeting a couple, unfortunately the encounter cost me 365$ for one infraction.
