Well, I found this & it sounds like emissions testing won't be required for Weld county anymore after Dec. 2006.

In Larimer you can go to any gas station that does emissions. I know in Loveland there is a little car wash and emission place on 287. They are very polite and if it doesn't pass they will give you all kinds of advice. They helped me get a car to pass and it took 4 tries, they did it without the normal retest fee.

As far as keeping out of state plates, Colorado law requires that you register within 30 days of moving into the state. That means changing license and registration. You can get around it but it is a hassle.

Both of my FDs have been registered in Weld County (parents house). There havent been emissions in Weld County as far back as i can remember (1989 when we moved there).

How would you be able to do this if you are in the Springs and he is in Ft. Collins? They are different counties.

If the test is equivalent or harder, the county will accept it. For example, you can get a car tested in Denver registered in Larimer county, but not the other way around.

WTF? I was under the impression you just register the car to your address and you can go anywhere you want to get it tested...

Most of us got a PO box in Park County which has no emmision laws. If you look up Denver smog laws...it does state if you drive in Denver...you have to get tested in Denver. The chances of them enforcing this is very unlikely as long as your registered somewhere. I heard a rumor that Ft. Collins was going to drop emission testing all together. You might want to look it up on the internet.

wow, so how do u go about getting a p.o box or whatever, or registering somewhere else if you dont live there?

that seems like no big deal, i mean i dont even drive the thing much at all...and with all of the projects im getting going on it future emissions is looking kinda...well not good. plus like i said i cant stand those bastards even touching my cars. that itself is good enough for me.

Hey everyone. Sorry to dig up an old thread, but I am moving to the Denver area this summer with a 93. I am running an apexi power fc and it has a 3" high flow main cat. Other than that the car is stock. It looks like I could run into some problems. Any tips? Thanks.
