Anyone from the Netherlands?
So I am probably moving to the Netherlands in August for about 4 years. (the FD will be joining me) I cannot seem to find any information on auto regulations like emissions and such. I'd love to pick someones ear with knowledge of the land.

I'm not sure the exact rules when you move the car with you, but I guess it will the same when importing a car, then the car needs to have a cat and airpump to be under the 0.9 Co during the (import) emissions test
After that it is party time :-)

cats's are always a requirement, they just don't measure the emissions. And who's to tell the difference between a cat or a center muffler :-)
I don't know how they will handle this situation, but if they decide to take a emissiontest you better have cat's
Exempt is only for rotary engines (including Rx-8 :-)

Gotcha, I am heading to Brunssum for 4 years it looks like. The motor isn't stock but not crazy either. It looks stock and once I add cats would probably pass emissions anywhere but Cali.
