Hey everyone,

So I've had this car for about a year and a half now. It was fully restored when I got it. 1993 Honda Civic Hatch with 191,000km

Since then:

-replaced gas tank
-replaced centre pipe for the exhaust
-has an exhaust tip
-is lowered
-tinted windows
-B&M short shifter
-JVC mp3 deck
-Infinity speakers
-had some electricity work done
-Compustar 2 way remote
-new battery and alternator
-Brakes were done 1 year ago
- have 5 racing tires with rims, 4 are used, one is brand new, to be used as a spare (for the summer)
-4 winter tires

So as you can see I've put a lot of money into this car. about 2 months ago I got into an accident on the 401. The bumper cover fell off, and there is some damage to one side of the car, but it still passes safety.

I didn't know that there was a limit of 2 temporary stickers from the ministry of transportation and I've used them both up.
The car failed the e-test once, everything passed except the NO, so I'm not sure what the problem is.

So the question I'm asking is what should I do? Any suggestions on how to pass the e-test?

Really I just want to get rid of it, but how much do you guys think I would get?

The car still runs great, but I can't drive it around because I don't have a sticker.

Let me know what you think.

Thanks:)

I believe the rule says you have to spend $400 on your emission items (02 sensor, exhaust system etc) and if you still fail twice you get a 2 year reprieve. However you MUST get it fixed before the next renewal. If you want to speak to a trustworthy mechanic about it (and get it retested) I can recommend a friend of mine.

Chris @ CT Automotive out in Mississauga. He's the owner, just tell him Chris with the Civic Si sent you.
