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
AWD Subie for the DD

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.

during the summer there are a lot of car shows around here. almost everyday of the week there is one in some town close by. there are a couple fbody meet-ups also, usually like the speed inc open house, finish line performance open house, picnics here and there. overall a good time.
