Default VA Inspection

Hey guys and gals,

My car is up for inspection next month, but as you can see from the sig, I'm going to need some "help" passing it. If anyone knows somebody that can do it for me, please send me a PM. I'd really appreciate it.

You don't have anything too exotic on the car, but you do have the ORY. So that will keep it from passing. Do you go to or know anyone that goes to the local hangout areas? Those are the guys to talk to. Most people will not chime in on the open forums.

Good luck.

I had a buddy that was doing it for me in the past, but he's not answering my calls anymore. I don't have a lot of time to go searching for folks right now, so I sort of need to get it done through LS1tech. If folks don't want to talk in the open forum (which I fully understand), PM me.

Do they do a visual in VA? In Pa they plug it in and if the monitors are all ready and no SES light you pass. I pass every year with ORY and everything to do with emissions ripped out. I had all the codes tuned out though.

Yes, they do a visual. No sniffer here though. Still, I'll fail without help.
