BillJr212 - WRX 818-S build thread

Kurk - that stinks. What happened?

In Illinois, the Secretary of State Police come to your house and just run through a quick checklist - confirm frame #, engine and trans serial #'s, check for various features to be sure they are working (brake lights, headlights, license plate light, turn signals, horn, wipers, parking brake), and check for the presence of a couple things (seat belts, mirrors, DOT stamp on windshield glass). Then they attach a VIN tag on the door sill with special rivets and send in their stamp of approval to the state to issue the plates. Probably took 15-20 minutes total.

I believe the WSP officer just didnt know any better. He used the homemade vehicle classification instead of the Kit Vehicle classification which does not call for airbags

I mentioned to them that they are the ones that rivet on the vin panel and his reply was that they do no such thing. Which was also not something i was expecting to hear.

Im going to a different facility later in the month and hopefully that goes smoother.
