OutlawLui · 03-20-2013, 12:40 PM

I was just starting to buy my upgrade parts and what not, and
this put everything on hold

Feels like i'm walking on egg shells

Driftwire · 03-20-2013, 12:45 PM

Thats such a bummer.. Ide just talk to people in the scene and see if they know people.

Young Sileighty Kev · 03-20-2013, 12:48 PM

I see that the op has a s13 so if it were to be an 89 would you still have to smog it next year?

you have to smog every two years. only cars that are exempt are 1975 and under cause of stupid Arnold.

Young Sileighty Kev · 03-20-2013, 01:08 PM

Hey op, me and you are screwed! lol

FRpilot · 03-20-2013, 01:12 PM

turn into track only car and buy a regular car for dd

or

swap ka back in, pass smog, swap sr back in.

240sex_s14 · 03-20-2013, 01:30 PM

Don't worry I got one in the mail. But that's when "it's not what you know, it's who you know." Comes in play.

I have *HEARD* of STAR smog shops that can "pass" a car, but I don't have any personal experience/knowledge. The bottom line is that it's only going to get more difficult from here. I have also *HEARD* that there will be new equipment coming out later this year that will be equipped with cameras. THEN you would be REALLY screwed. There is a big thread on this in the regional section.

It wasn't Arnold, it was the smog nazi's in charge of the CARB board. The 25 year rule was frozen at 1975 in the year 2000 which was a few years before Arnold was elected governer in 2003. Get your facts straight before you go blaming people.

boosted98gst · 03-20-2013, 01:59 PM

They are making me get a stupid carb filter on my 04 semi truck before jan 1 2014. C.A.R.B legal filter for my truck and labor is 15,000$. It has to be done by a california carb shop. Its such a crock of shit. They either say the truck has to drive less then 1,000 miles a year in california or for me to get some grant from the state run 3/4 of my miles inside california.

Drift_FX · 03-20-2013, 02:38 PM

if you have any family out of state you could get out of state plates... but OC cops are douche bags..... so your screwed....

xh3nry · 03-20-2013, 02:58 PM

I would just buy a ka24 just for smogs and in case your sr blows. Back up engines are nice and relatively cheap (:

Have you seen the super inflated prices for ka24de's lately? might as well pay to play rather than smogging it.

*andrew600* · 03-20-2013, 03:07 PM

registering it in a different area may be your best bet. if you dont wanna do all the smog stuff.

here in my area of IL is 95 and older are smog exempt. and just a county away they dont do smog at all ever. so if you can find a place and set up a po box.

IMO that's awesome. Trucking, farm equipment, and other industrial equipment are the biggest polluters in the US. IMO it's about damned time they stopped trying to blame enthusiasts and older vehicles for all of it. No sympathy from me, I think it's GREAT...

Registering out of state is illegal. If you're a California resident you HAVE to have your vehicles registered in California. You'll probably get away with it for a while, but once that dickhead cop sees that your liscence is a CA liscence and your plates aren't you might just have yourself some trouble.

*andrew600* · 03-20-2013, 03:21 PM

was unaware of that. that blows.

Arsenal240sx · 03-20-2013, 03:25 PM

Borrow a legit car and take your papers and swap plates. Lol

Come-on man, that's not going to work. They DO check the VIN number at the smog check. That'll ONLY work if you know the SMOG guy and he knows what's going on.

Arsenal240sx · 03-20-2013, 03:33 PM

Always good to know a smog guy.

I drive an evo9 its built tree killing machine. Its registered out of ohio and the police can not do shit about me borrowing my sisters car

It's saddening how proud you are about finding a loophole in the law for you to do illegal shit with your car. Your evo can be built fast as fuck and still at least pass the sniffer test. In the end you're still driving your sister's car, I drive my own car...

Rayiens · 03-20-2013, 05:10 PM

You are not that screwed. There are star certified places that will "pass" you. Its just going to cost you a hefty penny and have the connections

I just got mine done not too long ago so horray for 2 years of freedom!

***enkei2k*** · 03-20-2013, 05:58 PM

moved to regional since not everybody deals with smog.
