Has anyone else heard about this. I was told by a mechanic friend of mine that starting at some point early 2008, obd1 controlled motors will no longer need to pass emissions in MA!

I heard a rumor too, but where is the proof? I would love to find a link or something.

That could be interesting.

I heard that too. And it was from a mechanic that does inspections! This is sounding good!!!!

12's next time eric?

hopefully next year.

Can someone verify this,I have a 1st gen sb in my 95 t/a and I would love to bring it with me when I move back to cape cod

u better go one more time before the end is over!

I heard this as well last month from the mechanic who inspected my car. It was either 08 or 09 that the treadmill goes away.

i am still looking into it...but from what i am told from my buddies, it is supposed to be march or so of 2008

That would be great,I plan on moving in dec or jan so I guess I would take it out of hibernation in may just in time for this to take place I hope.

okay so we are about 99% sure it is true now. I looked into it further and we confirmed it with multiple foremen for the big shops around the area. april of 2008 boys

i am not sure about where you guys are but in pa all the information you are talking about would be posted on the DOT site, obviously pendot for me

I do not have wipers on my car anymore as the engine swap needed the cowl cut,I dont remember the station checking those last time I had a vehicle inspected,do they check those? also even thogh tey may not test emmisions will they do a visual inspection for cats, airpump, ect?

They are supposed to check for wipers as well as lights, horn, emergency brake, tire tread, etc. They have not checked to see if my wipers worked for the last 3 years..... But that could just be the shop. I take our 3 cars there each year so they know me....

Very rarely have they jacked my car and pulled a wheel to check brakes and front end.

I have NEVER had a visual inspection performed of the emissions systems in the 11 years I've lived here.
