What did this dyno out at? Does it have a clear title? Any mechanical problems?

I guess I might have to get serious about selling my GTO...

Anyone can tell you the passenger windows on a C5 can be a PITA and have a mind of their own. It decided last weekend it didn't want to go down any longer.

What's the usual problem, the window motor? Is the car in NJ? Whereabout? I'm going to be on Long Island this weekend.

Well the car just had its emission and Virginia visual inspection.

I failed the visual. From what I was told you have to have an air pump and return line into the exhaust.

Went to three different stations today- all pinged me for no air pump, valve system, and return air lines. I even tried to find the most shady looking one to think maybe he'd look at me and ask for a contribution to pass.....NOTHING.

so now I have a sticker on my windshield that says:

FAILED VA VISUAL INSPECTION 5/7/08 YOU HAVE 15 DAYS TO COMPLY.

And for those of you looking for a fire sale - relax

If anything I'll toss on some stock Z06 wheel and tires and drop it to $18,000

Can you still sell it first or do you have to pass inspection in order to get the title in proper order to sell?

I hope you can sell it without having to pass emissions first!

Best of luck that sucks!

No biggie. I'm sure it will sell. I still have a 2008 GTI sitting in the driveway that hasn't sold that IS legal to drive.
