I need some advice guys. My friend Eric took his E30 to get inspected today and they failed the inspection because we removed the f'in power steering system. Apparently all original equipment must be working. What the hell do we do? Its not a simple re-install after cutting off the belt, removing the whole pump, pulling the fluid canister, and cutting the damn lines and plugging the lines with rubber caps. I've done the same with my car but I won't get it inspected until I bring it to Maryland. So do we bite the bullet and either spend the time putting it back together, pay someone to put it back together with the parts, or take it to another shop ( I'm pretty sure the shop that failed inspection has to pass your car...) this just sucks and I'm an idiot for not checking on this in the first place.

VA inspection?
Scrape the rejection sticker off, take it to another shop. A shadier one.
Say it came without power steering.

I'm surprised they picked out something like that when they could have just failed him for the modified suspension instead :?
