>You wanna mod your car...in California??? BHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAH

How do you MOD your car? Is that what your asking?

>>15639874
>how -_-
By being old enough to own and drive a car in the first place son.

Just do whatever. Under the radar has always been the way to go with sick mawds.

you got 2 years between smog tests. An engine swap back to original engine is a day's work.

>>15639874
Not really a mod but, I've had neo chrome headlight tint for a few months now and drove by plenty of cops. I haven't been pulled over yet.

CARB legal shit.

Thats why I left the peoples republic of california.

It was cake getting my skyline registered in Nevada, cali would have been a fucking nightmare. Fuck that state.

Not him but he's right.
I live in California and daily a car with an aftermarket supercharger/exhaust whole setup. You just need to swap back to stock every two years and hope you don't get stopped by a cop.

CARB legal mods. Limits your options but not by much. If it has the CARB label it will pass smog.

I'm trying to get CARB to give me a straight answer on whether non CARB label mods will pass on direct import if emission tested with the mods. The bureaucracy is a pain in the dick.

What about fun roads and weather conditions? Arizona would probably be the best in terms of weather, but I imagine it is pretty boring driving around.

Califag here: They don't rip apart your car to check engine internals, and as long as you aren't going full-racecar on them they'll have no way of knowing. Plus, you WILL have CARB-legal options for superchargers and turbos if you drive stuff that has a huge tuner community like camaros and mustangs. Even Superchargers that aren't CARB legal are still a good option when they're fairly easy bolt on kits. Just remove it before your smog test.

The Jew-beak sillywheels poster knows how to cheat smog. You need only speak his name and he shall appear.

>>15639874
Pass smog levels and any suspension, tint, sound, and light law.

Buy something smog exempt.

Ausfag here what is smog and why is it every 2 years? Is it like what we call rego which is a yearly check in most states?

Lol, it's not cheating, but I suppose I could get it done. It's not that bad. Everyone with a proper modified car knows someone/can find someone through mutual modified carfags
Flyover state fags will defend that hurr you have to pay someone to pass it, but if you can't afford a couple hundred every 2 years then this isn't the hobby for you.

Smog tech here. I wish I had the knowhow to clean plug a car. I hear there's some fancy computer program that emulates a running car with the correct VIN

sounds kinda similar, it's purely emissions though. have to get certified by the state biannually to keep a valid vehicle registration

>he is a gypsy

Gotta agree that is worth it to pay to pass. Especially if you're registration is around summer. Not spending a day swapping stuff out then another day swapping back in. If you can afford the mods that take all day/afternoon to swap in then you probably can afford to know someone. Last car had headers/no cats. Current car will get same treatment. Only know of a couple people that have been reffed.

>>15639874
Only good thing about living in Alabama. We have zero emission testing.
