Car getting inspected
 
What does the inspector look for when inspecting my car before getting insurance.

I have rust around my windshiend(didnt wana fix cuz its too hard) and a crack in it aswell. The crack is near the vin number and isnt bad.

the car is stock. and will be stock until after the inspection.

i think you'll be fine. from what i know its just mods they look for, and previous damage they'll note down so you dont claim it later.

JDM_overdose 02-23-2010 05:37 PM

I bought the car a few months ago. No damage to the car.

Even though im getting a b18b1 in the car, when the previous owner did a emissions test in april, it scored

HC PPM-47 limit is 66
CO% 0.22 limit is 0.37
NO PPM 548 limit is 757

to get it saftyd i need

right front strut and spring(im gettin skunk2 pros anyways, ill just raise thew hell outta them for the inspection)

Left lower control arm

left bushing

outer tie rod end

left upper balljoint(im getting skunk2 camber kit newayz)

tail pipe

left and right rear flex hoses(what are those???)

right front marker light

left rear brake light

rear brake pads and roters

fml lmao

no the inspector like someone stated will check for visable mods, stereo, lowered, rims, etc... and to note any damage so you won't claim it in a following accident etc. I once had a screwed up bumper and they told me to get it fixed within a certain period or they wouldn't cover or something I forget but they were making a big deal of it...

JDM_overdose 02-23-2010 05:58 PM

so should i switch back to stock radio, take off my cpillar and my lip.

Im forced to go to the inspection with aftermarket adjustable coilovers because most of my struts and springs are ----. Unless I can get insurance before I can get safety...

coilovers should be fine...just make sure it looks stock height and nothing like too low or too high, some of the people are really good at spotting mods like that, some are kinda new to the scene and only know basics...
NORMALLY...most companies will cover like $1000 unclaimed (like a stereo)... like as long as its not over $1000 or whatever the won't consider it modded or whatever, just depends on the company... so anything extra that they might be like "whats that for" or "why does it look like that" kinda thing, ya i'd remove/change.. even if you don't hook up the stock stereo and just throw it in for the inspection lol

anyone know any cheap insurance companies. Im only going to get 1 way. I dont care if i hit sumone and my damages arnt covered.

And anyone know any companies that dont inspect.

patrick3319 02-23-2010 06:11 PM

desjardins is who i'm with... they didn't inspect and were cheap... go on kanetix.ca and it'll tell you whats the cheapest for you...

D.T.P 02-23-2010 06:28 PM

If I was you I would definitely take out the c-pillar and lip off. If you have intake replace it with stock airbox.

JDM_overdose 02-23-2010 06:35 PM

Martin, are you on your own insurance. Im online getting insurance quotes, and there is no option for a 1990 integra. only 1994 and up.

Then when i choose the option "classic auto insurance", it sais no insurance companys insure people that are 25 and under with a classic car.

aw wa wa 02-23-2010 07:28 PM

make everything stock, save your self the worries

HondaCivicSiR 02-24-2010 02:16 PM

if your going for one way insurance they wont inspect..most places will only do it if your getting like collision and comp coverage

Spike 02-24-2010 03:38 PM

They just check to see if you have anything done to the car, and inspect on how it looks.

96tegsta 02-24-2010 04:20 PM

i didn't even know ure car gets inspected by insurance people its never happened for me or any of my rents older cars or anyone i've known
when would they do this cuz sounds really random to me

Spike 02-24-2010 04:29 PM

Most insurance company's now a days do it, but it also depends on the car. My dad's 5.0L had to a appraisal done before they would insure it, but my 99 integra never did, but I Have also been with him for 7 years now, and he knows I will tell him when stuff gets done to me car.

JDM_overdose 02-25-2010 12:41 PM

Really who cars if you need your car inspected, I rather have mine done and pay that little more each month to know I'm fully covered incase anything happens. Plus if you all are so worried about them finding stuff done to your car, don't mod it, and leave the damn thing stock.
