New Emissions Standards May 1 2016 - My experiences Mustang hotrod status

[bbriann]

Glad E-test doesn't exist in my area of Ontario. ...never had to deal with that crap..

So my final thoughts are WTF government. My car met 1993 emission for the last two tests. It has all equipment required. Now after registering the car it has toeet 1980 emission and I cam even.remove some of the emissions equipment.

Time for some dirty ass cams hahahaha! Thanks government

Felt confident in the end it would be just that easy, cool it worked out Ryan.
As for Ontario's Drive Clean, to say it's a joke would almost be a compliment.

well done Ryan.

Ontario government continues to insert head in its own ass

If I read the regulations correctly, in order to classify for hot rod status, it must:

• Pass the emission standards of the original car build date (1990?)
• The new engine must be equipped with all the emission control equipment from the Mach 1 engine (2003?)

So what's the problem?
They car meets/exceeds these requirements, no?
(Sorry if I got the years wrong.)

^^^ I think you have it right here. I'm still puzzled how Ryan is being told he only has to pass 1980's standards when it seems like he should either pass 1993 standards or the standards of the motor he installed which would be 2003. If simply doing a motor swap get's you hot rod status, then I pulled my Coyote and did an FRPP Aluminator instead, do I get hot rod status?

It's also weird how some just need to pass a sniffer test regardless of working smog equipment (easy to manipulate) and others have an OBD II plugged in to make sure all systems are ready and smog equipment is functional, take pictures for engine dash lights, VIN and plate, but no other test. Car could be throwing black smoke and it doesn't factor into the test.

I can't say I understand it all.

Esp since people up north have to do nothing, but Toronto does. Cash grab of epic proportion.

I'm just grateful my car passed with ID 1000's and Corsas!

Yeah it's very weird to say the least. They didn't even ask anything other than the size of the engine. The only I formation I provided was 4.6(281ci). No year, no computer or wiring or obd2 questions, nothing.

tell me more, how corsas (mufflers) affect emissions?

[Arboc]

motor swaps are on! for 99 and older Mustangs and Fords (all vehicels)

[Arboc]

so if I did buy my 96 Cobra back, a 5.2 FPC VooDoo V8 with a screw blower sounds like the logical swap

[ZR]

Odd system but it's the one we've got.
