Yes, have you been trailering to an emissions testing garage prior to going to Wethersfield for the inspection ? An intrepretation is the emissions test could also be conducted after the Inspection and then using a local DMV office to complete the registration process. But these are still independent of each other, pass inspection and fail emissions, or the reverse, still cannot register.

Jay, when bringing the customer cars for the inspection, have the updated , REV 12/04, regs been used ? There has also been mention of a 2006 revision, but I could not find.



*** Did not hear back from the DMV on the specific measurment standards which will be implemented on 1-1-2007.

Dan: Any background on the new standard ? Was the change an Administrative decision or a change enacted by the General Assembly ? Any other details which need to be shared with those that are in the process of building a Composite/Kit Car , but will not inspect/register or test for emissions until after Jan 2007 ?

" The vehicle will also require a new emissions test performed at an emissions testing station. Some vehicles are exempt from emissions testing. To determine if your vehicle is exempt from emissions testing, please refer to the listing of exempt vehicles."

" 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."
