I was born and raised there. I'd like to know how it has changed since I was there if at all. I do remember getting the car registration/safety inspected. They scanned the car, then checked the gas cap for seal and did a visual inspection under the hood, that was it and it passed. I wonder if it's still the same.

All I know is I am going to K-Bay. I have to ship my car out of pocket. The military is going to only ship my truck for free. And what I been told is I need a Hawaii saftey inspection and a Reconstruction Permit for the Mods I have done to my car. I have tried calling the DMV and all I get is fax manchines and busy numbers

i was there man for 4 years at scholfield. I had my Lt1 there. I saw a few locals with f-bodys and well as plenty of military out there with GTOs, vettes and what not. There isn't much out there for performance shops/dynos i just knew of the one in Waipahu. You will enjoy eating of ton of punk hawaiian kids out there with rice burners. Enjoy! Stay away form Waikiki!
