Honestly, I did not know that NC required emissions checks. You can opt to live in one of the neighboring states. South Carolina does not require vehicle inspections at all. Tennessee requires emissions inspections in only six counties, which does not include Maryville (in Blount County), which would force you to drive the Dragon to work every day.
Georgia has similar requirements for only 13 counties.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vehicle_inspection_in_the_United_States

Originally I wanted to stay on the TN side, but I would rather not have to drive the Dragon every day to go to work. Either way the R53 probably wont be trailered down for a few months after I get there.

Generally speaking... people in NC do NOT get around their inspection. It's a pain in the rump. Not all counties require emissions inspection - Graham does NOT.

Nice! But do they still do a function test? Might have to find all the stuff for an ECU swap if they do...

My understanding is they do a safety inspection only in those other counties. But I've never lived in one. Call someone in Graham county and ask them.

My only remaining concern is how the car will behave with the stock ECU and the TVS installed (plus everything else).
Whether I'll be able to drive it for an hour or two (at low RPMS) to get all the self-test stuff to pass, without throwing any codes (which must be cleared, then start all over again).

yours doesn't even count Mr. I hooked up my battery backwards
Hahaha....Oh wait....

This sounds like a great upgrade the price point is the deciding factor for a budget like mine

Jan, any update? Been following this on Facebook and looks like you got it close to fully fabbed up? Just gotta start producing the horn to the intercooler? Rough estimate to pricing? Appreciate you work on this!

no pricing yet, we are getting much closer though as I got quotes for the idler bracket today. (CNC'd piece now) We are fabbing up the inlet pipe now. Once I get that I should have final pricing. The rest of the parts are made or the drawings done to CNC.
