They just fill out the form and put a yellow sticker on the windscreen.It is up to you to have it cleared. Pulling out an engineers certificat may reduce the chances, but cops do not seem to care.

Afterpassing the EPA test once, you then have the slip of paper to showthe next officer. Edited 06/09/10 12:58 AM by Dagabond Merged posts...

rob666 Member 62 Member For: 14y 7m 19d Posted 05/09/10 07:00 AM Share Posted 05/09/10 07:00 AM Cops will defect for any reason. When I had my 180SX, which was a relatively stock car, I got defected for my gear knob and steering wheel. Both these came with the car when I bought it, and because they weren't factory it was a defect. Unbelievable, I could maybe understand the steering wheel (it was a genuine MOMO mind you, so I doubt it was unsafe), but a gear knob??!!It all comes down to the cops attitude, and your attitude.

ebxmple Member 1,322 Member For: 17y 1m Posted 05/09/10 07:06 AM Share Posted 05/09/10 07:06 AM (edited) As Henz said,if you get the full stg2 kit and dont mix match bits your fine. If you put exhaust etc on then your not as it wasnt complied with the exhaust. I know quite a few people that have been pulled for inspection and have passed with the whole kit in tact and receive a certificate to prove so. Theirs still alot of doubters out there but it is fact. And just to throw it out there,Nizpro are now working on full adr compliant FG kits including exhaust. Costs more but proves to be beneficial in the end. Oh and this doesnt mean they wont give you a defect notice or you wont get a epa letter in the mail,It just means if you do need to get it tested to clear a defect etc it will pass.
