Dan and I have been shooting the breeze about emmission testing and some of the rules that apply in different areas. I would like some of the other user inputs just for general knowledge for other users and to settle some of my personal curiousities about the whole mess. You see my 85 is coming up for it's first e-test here in Ontario Canada. Our vehicles must pass this in order to renew your registration. The renewal lasts for a year but the test is only performed bi-annually. This means I don't have to renew mine until 2004. Our cut-off is any vehicle 19 years or older. My 85 turns 19 that year so I may squeak by with only having to do the one test. Our shops are much the same as Califrnia, some are strictly tests and others are test/repair facilities. There is a one time grace of $200 to repair your vehicle. After that the limit is raised to I think $600 now. This means if your car gets said amount of repairs at a Drive Clean Repair Shop and it still doesn't pass you get a conditional pass. Yep there I go talking too much again.
