PA Inspection/Emissions for a V8 FC?
There's currently an S5 RX7 FC for sale in my neighborhood for $700 with a busted 13B. I've been looking for a summer project car and really like the idea of making an RX-7 sleeper, but I'm not going pour money into a car that won't be street legal. I was wondering if anyone has had V8 RX-7 registered and what were the standards are for getting it inspected and emissions tested (especially in Pennsylvania).
My friends and I need a car to throw a 350 at. |
A 350 won't cut it.
The swapped motor has to be of the same model year or newer and retain all emissions related equipment (cats, EGR, etc.) |
Would a salvage title or classic car registration be exempt from emissions standards? (assuming I could get either, emissions see,s to be the larger problem)
|
A salvage title has even more to get checked if the salvage hasn't been cleared by the dmv. It would have to go for salvage inspection. And classics I know in new york is exempt but a S5 is not close to being a classic. A way to possibly get around it is depending how close you are to new york register inspect it here 1995 and older are exempt. Im building a '86 lt1 turbo and its a basic safety inspection. Have my '89 vert and all they check is lights, horn, and e-brake and make sure its not a piece of shit rust bucket that could fall apart. New york might have crazy taxes but if you own 1995 and older your golden!

Each county in Pa. has a different emission test. Some have NO test.
I'm in Luzerne county where only the gas cap is tested. I never have had to even open my hood on my FD/LS1. If the car is driven less than 5k. miles a year it's exempt from emissions. Buy a car with a valid title, register it and nobody cares what kind of engine it has. |

It's getting a 2JZ, so I'm going to have to deal with that PITA process all over again. EDIT: Wait, that whole process was with my 1988 Subaru Justy, not the WRX. Same concept though. |
