[Young Sileighty Kev]

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.

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.

[Young Sileighty Kev]

Hey op, me and you are screwed! lol

[FRpilot]

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]

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. )))))

Don't mind me, I'm just chilling here in emissionless Florida .

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.

yeah im a driver and my company is switching out the old trucks to be compliant with the new laws

[bladetech8]

You're not as screwed as you think, just talk to some people at meets and stuff, throw around some $$$ and you'll be fine..

Fuck the tree-hugging hippy f$#kers in this state legislature and stupid smog laws. A couple of turbo'ed 4-bangers ain't going to do a rat shit's worth of shit to the overall pollution issue in the world, which we can thank the crooked big corporations and massive industrial machinery for..

Stupid Prius drivers and all the bunch of hybrid loving cunts, it take more global resources to create those piece of shit Lead-acid batteries which are just going to sit in land-fills once they're expired and depleted. It's actually MORE GREEN to purchase a USED-CAR since your not investing more GLOBAL resources producing it (IT WAS already produced many years ago) That's how you can help the environment, stop buying new hybrid shits and resuse what you already have! lol

And for the record, I love California! Perfect driving weather 365 days a year! Suck it

They're not tree hugging hippies. They're corrupt fuckers tailoring the laws to crack down on whoever's not paying them not to. Enthusiasts are an easy target. I just wish more enthusiasts would be responsible and at least run a cat and keep the smog equipment. I mean it costs you what, 2hp on N/A maybe 10hp on a turbo...

This statement is why I picked on trucker boy bitching like a little girl about having to install smog equipment on his big rig. Those things pollute 2381293482390177837897 times more than all modded cars. I say tax the fuck out of 'em.

Not to mention the electric motors. The most economically friendly car is an EG Honda Civic VX model. They even get close to the same mileage as the lame-o Prius's. Hybrid is a joke...

Fuck yeah! CA FTW!!!

I say this to the Prius morons all the time and they get so confused as to why a rechargeable battery will ever have to be thrown away "Because we just recharge it maaaannn and its good for foreverrrr." These Prius people are also the people who must have the newest iPhone every year creating more waste.

Also I take it you are from socal? Come up north we have to deal with only 300 days of perfect driving weather a year

Or trucks with their borla aftermarket exhausts ripping past us pulled over on the side of the road for modified exhaust and yet they are within the law. Corrupt as fuck this state and its police force is, that or just stupid.

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

[andrew600]

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.

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...

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.
