well i am in the military and i and going to fort lewis. i have to pass emmisions in that state. i have a 99 civic with a 95 jdm B18C. is there anything i can do?? any help would be great

Get housing outside of Pierce/King Counties and you shouldn't have to deal with emissions. I know of a few cars that couldn't pass the mustard in Pierce/King ending up getting licensed in Thurston or further south.

do you meen get off post housing in that area?

there are some cities that dont require emissions so if you find somethin close there are ways around it i dont kno exaclty how .. but yeah

If you register the car at a DOL office outside the King/Pierce border and use an address with a zip that doesn't trigger the flag, you should be able to forego the emissions test. That test is usually only required for people living (main residence) in the greater metro area that generally runs from around Everett to South Tacoma.

I'm not really sure how they deal with a Fort Lewis 'on campus' resident but I'm thinking that falls into the greater Tacoma area which requires emissions testing.

i will just sort it out when i get there and if i can bring the car out. i live in ohio so it is a bit of a drive. thanks for all the help guys.

what do they look at? the car was converted to obd1 from 2 and have I/H/E hondata and cam gears?? sorry for all the questions i have never had to deal with this stuff. i don't want to drive cross country from ohio to be told i can't drive it.
