North Carolina RTP/Wake County spotted!

GENERAL General G2/G2IC Discussion
1

Been in NC for a good two years now, and have seen a good handful of pretty clean DA’s and the occasional DB down here. Just spotted a red one today at Chipotle with LS Meshes and JDM headlights, but didn’t spot the owner before he jetted. I haven’t met any fellow G2ICers since I’ve been here, and I’m feeling the itch. If you see a white DA with some ugly black and silver wheels, JDM lamps and a Washington plate in the window there’s a pretty good chance it’s me:

Definitely trying to hook up with some locals on here some time. I’ll post pics of future local sightings here.

4

How much you selling the white gsr for?

5

Haha I see. Sometimes you gotta let 'em go. If I see either of your cars around I’ll probably stop and share a quick what’s up.

Spotted a DA9 headed East on I40 just west of Raleigh. One headlight out, the other was blue, super noisy exhaust. Couldn’t tell the color it was so dark, white I think? Where you at?! :manual:

Did you guys have a hard time with emmisions? Did everyone from NC pass?

http://www.ncdot.org/dmv/vehicle/registration/inspection/
On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) Emissions Inspection
North Carolina is fighting ozone-forming emissions from gasoline-operated cars and light duty trucks. Inspections are conducted using the vehicle’s On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) system, computerized equipment installed on all new vehicles since 1996.

Exemptions, the following vehicle types do not need an OBD Emissions Inspection:
■Vehicles 35 years old, or older
■Model 1995 vehicles, or older
■Diesel-operated vehicles
■Vehicles licensed under the farmer rate

nothing to it if your car is an original obd0 or obd1 car

10

would a gutted cat pass?

11

considering thats the cats main purpose and unless your running a really good tune, im gonna say chances are it wont…

12

but if NC wont do Emissions Inspection and it looks like I have at cat…i just figured one of these NC boys have done it. i wonder if NC has a sound level limit in NC. My greedy exhaust with a gutted cat is loud.

13

:shrug: cant realy say then cause Im not sure how NC checks for emission outputs…

14

If o2 doesn’t report anything (if OBD2) - if obd1 or previous you can do w/e the fuck you want as long as you got a muffler sticking out the rear.

Usually not a problem. I’ve run open header for months at a time and been without any harassment.

That being said, if you and someone else are cruising down the highway at 80, and your car is louder…
