I made it through the BAR inspection today. My test was at Evergreen College in San Jose. They were familiar with the "SPCNS" code and were very very nice. They did not put the car on the rollers, but did sniff the tailpipe...both at idle and at 2500 RPM. I had a _lot_ of trouble keeping it at 2500 RPM (basically I couldn't! Talk about a hair trigger throttle! :shock: ).
He did make a comment about the breather and the fuel pressure gauge, but said it did not matter because the car was exempt (smogged as a 1965 Lotus).
He made no comment about using the Caterham chassis number as the VIN.
It took about an hour to do the inspection and to get all of the paperwork completed. They gave me an exemption sticker to put on the firewall (or scuttle if you prefer). There was no charge! :D
