Trying to pass inspection

[JDM EJ1]

Does anyone know how strict the dmv is on passing a vehicle through inspection as for engine wise, suspension, exhaust ect. ect? I'm trying to rebuild a salvage title vehicle that was a theft recovery but I have no clue what was stolen. Does it need to be 100% factory like when it rolled off the showrooms floor? I'm looking to put a swap in it and was wondering what the vehicle needed in order to pass, its just a shell. Post or pm. Thanks ctvtec!

from what ive done in the past, as long as your car doesnt have any cel lights, everything is in working order and you have a cat, you should be good...but not sure on salvage title cars though

bro he is talking about inspection NOT emissions

as far as i know as long as everything was replaced that was stolen you will be fine although you will need reciepts for the parts...

it would only have to be at OEM specs IF the car was in an accident

last time i remembered I did a INSPECTION to get a INSPECTION sticker

[ManTyme]

what you just described was an emission test but who knows maybe its diff where your from (RI) but WE are from CT

[bluxberryxhaze]

not sure what other inspections he needs to pass bro, never heard of this situation he's in..only things im familiar with are vin checks and inspections(emmissions)

[ManTyme]

well if a car has a salvage title the only way to get it registered IN CT again would be to get the title rebuilt.

so if it was in an accident the car would have to be at OEM specs all the way around

if it was a stolen recovery you need reciepts for all the parts that were replaced

you never heard of the situation because you live in RI and dont need titles for the vehicle even if its salvage you can register it in RI

[bluxberryxhaze]

true, so this is something new...we do have it here just that i dont have a car that requires a title so less head aches

[bluxberryxhaze]

thought ct didnt need titles for cars 10 yrs plus as well? depending if his car is that old or newer...

no we DEF need titles lol or i would have got my SI bubble on the road instead of parting it out =( breaks my heart

[bluxberryxhaze]

wth...ive had too many people tell me no title is needed, especially for the car i got for sale right now

[ManTyme]

ok we need titles but say if i get a car from RI i would need to 1st make sure it isnt salvage.. then if it isnt and i buy it i will need the bill of sale.. when i come to register the car in CT i give them the bill of sale and last registraion and they mail me a title ina few months

[bluxberryxhaze]

ok so you get a title sent to you no matter what year the car is than

[ManTyme]

correct

See that's my issue, I don't have a clue to what was stolen. I bought the vehicle complete, all one color, and it did have a swap in it, but I sold it because I didn't have any paperwork for it. I just don't want to spend another $1500 on it to get it running and then fail inspection because I bought the wrong shit I needed.
