there is no emission inspection for registration down in SWVA. you must have factory installed emissions equipment on the vehicle to pass state inspection, but there is no actual loaded IM240 test like is in NOVA

I'm sure if u fail emissions u just get a rejection sticker like always.. not sure though.. havn't started that here yet...
U know this was a dumb idea.. if someone is caught passing a car that shouldn't be passed it's a $15k fine JUST for the inspector..thats not counting what can happen to the company..

I am about to start studing to take my test.. scared SHITLESS about it though
