So what can I expect as far as inspections are concerned (sniffer/OBD2) no cats, but have HPT for code removal
insurance for a T/A
What's the car scene like (probably not much in the winter)
Anything else you can tell me would be much appreciated
BTW the job is in Crystal Lake
TIA

Sounds good so far, the T/A is a summer car, and an occasional red light racer

Emissions: As long as you aren't throwing a code you will pass. I passed with my cut out open and the emissions people with their jaw dropped. Always amusing.

Scene: Pretty darn good. But only good for about 4 months out of the year.
