Although the car is mechanically perfect and DRL are a non-issue, some of the other items on the inspection checklist may be. Such as the ignition working without the clutch being depressed, or child restraints in the back.
- Has anyone else had similar inspection experiences with 30+ year old vehicles?
- Which inspection agency would be to my advantage, Calgary Porsche or Canadian Tire?
I know there is a option to register the vehicle as an antique and bypass the inspection process. What are the risks in doing this? I intend to drive this car most weekends, weather permitting.

I had mine done at Alpine and they found stupid stuff like hood shocks were a bit weak blah blah; kind of pedantic if you ask me. Anyway things like kiddy seat belts and DRLs are not going to be an issue as thats how the car came. Its all the little mechanical bits that they'll look for. If you want my recommendation and can wait a week or two because they are busy go to Tunedub (
Tunedub Inc. - Automotive & Customs). George owns the place and has been nothing but good to me for the 8 years I've been taking cars to him. He is a car nut, has built some monsters and has two 930s. I've seen a 993 GT2 on a lift at his place. He is going to be refurbing my suspension in a couple of weeks as a result of my recent rear sway bar bracket debacle.
