Angry Emmissions testing, looking for IN-GROUND dyno in Richmondhill

Hi.

I have to take my car for emmissions testing, but everywhere I go, they have a ramp dynno, which is no good for my lowered car.

Anyones knows of anyplace, preferebly in RichmondHill area that has a "In-ground" dynno?

Thanks.

You don't need a dyno. You'r car can be "too low" and they use a different e-test method, I can't remember what they call it. That's what the garage did for mine anyway.

yes they can do that but, the risk is high...it's a 2 speed idle test. If the ministry were ever to look at the car being tested and discover that the vehicle isn't 4 wheel drive, then the facility would be fined or even shut down. If you want an inground dyno for the E-test, come to the canadian tire at Markham and 14th avenue. I'll hook you up.

Cheers,
Buddah.
