The big news in IL is now only 96 and up have to be tested so all ZR-1's get off the hook now!!!!
Wow...that'd be nice, but it takes a while for our little cow town to catch onto things....lol!

I finally gave up after i did a leak down test on my old 368 and registered it about 30 miles away from my house in a non E test part of the county! After pulling my 368 apart it was obvious to me why i couldn't pass!

Yep that was what I used to be doing was having it reg. at my buddy's shop outside of the test zone.

Sure is nice to have to have the renewals show up at the home now!

When I moved from IL in 2003 the IM240 test was on the basis of ZIP code and the entire Chicago area was included. Shortly thereafter all OBDII cars (96 and newer) were passed if there was no check engine light. So now there are no tests for anything earlier than 1996 at all?

Yep the Gov. cut the testing because of the bad deficit in IL.

NO testing for the KOTH or anything pre OBDII.

Tis good to live in ILLINOISEY now!!!!

Well, maybe it's better, but there's a long way to good yet. And that's the first sensible thing your governor has done. Whatta loser

I wanted to circle back and let you guys know that my car passed once the exhaust manifold/catalytic converter was swapped.

Again, I appreciate all of the support and knowledge that you all shared on this post.

A special thanks to Greg (sgreg) for giving me such a fair deal on the set.

Greg, it meant a lot and I really appreciate it.

Thanks,

Jason
