Unhappy the best place to get state/emissions inspection?

It's that time of year again where I would have to get my car inspected for state and emissions. I just had a b20 installed into my integra and was wondering if it would be able to pass emissions? The only fuel upgrade I have is a Walbaro fuel pump that was left over from when i had my turbo kit. Thanks again..

What year is the car, and what year is the motor from? Chances are you're going to be screwed on emissions.

On another note, your sig is fucking huge. You should resize that before a mod deletes it.

not to jack the thread or anything...but are they still strict on the whole HID thing for cars that didn't come with it? If so, is there anybody that can help me out? Thanks

HID's, if the car didnt come factory, will auto fail you on safety inspections. You can pass with them in still but that ultimately depends on two things. One if the inspector really cares or not. Ive had some inspectors fail me in the past for my liscense plate light not being the right color, ive failed when the light displayed in my reverse lights is the correct color but the color of the bulb itself is not to the inspectors liking. The second thing that will likely fail you is the color, if you have blueish white or some color there of your more than likely gonna fail, if you get a set of bulbs around the 5K range you might be able to pass with them in. Im not sure the exact Kelvin temp of the bulb youd want off the top of my head so dont qoute me on the 5K. Now if the car in question is an BMW or some other European model that usually can come with HIDs than the inspector will more than likely not notice but if its a civic or something than you may be in trouble.

The set I have is less than 5K...and my friend told me that as long as they look like stock lights and you have normal highbeam bulbs, that it should pass.
I was just wondering of anybody had heard anything like that. Guess I will just have to find out.

Thanks for the info!
