The only reference I could find on the DMV web site regarding Composites, click on inspections, then Composites

http://www.ct.gov/dmv/site/default.asp

Note that the Emissions standards for Composites are changing as of 1-1-2007 for new registrations.

" Note: Starting January 1, 2007 newly completed composite vehicles will need to have an engine that will meet new composite vehicle emissions standards. The standards that will be in effect are equivalent to the two-speed idle standards for 1980 and newer passenger cars and light trucks or 1988 and newer engines from trucks in the 8501 to 10,000 lb. GVWR range. Composite vehicles classified as 2006 model year and older will continue to be subject to existing standards which are approximately equivalent to the two-speed idle standards at a level somewhere between that for 1968 and 1973 vehicles."

I have sent the following e-mail inquiry to the DMV and will post the reply:

DMV:

The document I have regarding the requirements and information for registering and inspecting a Composite Motor Vehicle is Composite Motor Vehicles R-157 REV 10/99:

** Is the document the most current version ? If not, please identify the most current document and how to obtain

** Are there any supplements to R-157 for Composite topics not covered in R-157 ? If so, please specify document name, number, date and how to obtain.

Thanks in advance for the assistance
