I just wanted to thank everyone for the great info. I'm about ready to pull the trigger on an 818 C street-legal build, outside of Albany. Pretty amazing that this level of detail is shared.
I'll post some intro info and get on the Upstate Cobras list soon!
Who is the guy to talk with in Albany - Seems both Tom Noonan and Mark Engle have retired. Looking for a name with an email too preferable - if anyone has any info that would be great.

I just received my packet from the NY DMV to begin the registration process. I was wondering if anyone had advice on completing the emissions section of the form. It seems most of the check boxes do not apply (EGR, thermostatic air cleaner, fuel inlet restrictor, ETC.).
Another question on the lights. I have recorded all the DOT/SAE markings. The only lights without markings are the license plate LEDs. I was going to add a DOT license plate light if it were an issue.
Any suggestions to make this go well are appreciated!
Hey folks. Thanks for all the info above. My 818 kit is scheduled for pickup on 12/19, but as I prep my donor car I want to ensure I don't do anything that will affect my registration ability later on.
On thing in particular I want to do is a TGV delete on the intake. While the forms state "all emissions controls that were on the original make / model", that is really a very subtle and unnoticeable item, and the ECU can be programmed to totally bypass the codes being thrown. I was wondering if anyone had any experience with that in NYS? An option is just to do the partial delete and remove the discs on the valves but leave the rest of the system operational thus appearing and reporting 100% stock. Just doesn't allow me to fully port the valve bodies though.
