Default I passed CT Inspection

Hi All

I'VE PASSED! First shot very exited here are the details:

Got on line yesterday @ 11:00 am made it to the front of the line @ 2:00. Less than 15 cars/trailers etc in front of me.

No mention of my pipes being to loud, for those that were following the thread I was concerned with my pipes being to loud and whether or not I needed heat sheilds. Thanks to all of your advice I bought a set of heat shields and decided to take may chances with the stock ERA side pipes for the loudness.

One small glitch that would have been disaster and it wasn't with the car but the paper work. I bought my Tremec trans from ERA and it was listed on my ERA invoice as "Tremec transmission, $xxxx.xx". The inspector working on the paperwork not the one who checked out my car, was not happy with it because it "looked more like a quote" rather than an actual receipt and it did not have the tran serial number. Thankfully they were nice enough to accept a fax, I called ERA they faxed over what i needed. We win!
Mind you, the only proof for my rear end was a receipt from a salvage yard stating, "Used rear 87 XJ6" inspector said thats all they need for used parts, no detail, no serial number, nothing go figure. I think the guy who inspected the car would have let me go on the paperwork???

They were very familiar with the car, and noted that they go way back with the guys at ERA coming down to get cars inspected for their custumers. I am sure it's the same story with other CT manufacturers.

Next step registration.

Thanks to all.

Frank
