Right. Check the links in my sig and then show me something from your [apparently] non-craphole state that even comes close

I think you'll be fine, Brendan. I just had my '89 smogged last month (in Orange) and it passed. There is some dispensation given to 49-state vehicles so as long as it's been cared for, I doubt you'll have a problem.

 

Unfortunately I'm already here. I've never had a problem passing inspection in New York and like I said, it runs great. No smoke or anything from the exhaust.

Now by dispensation, you mean in my favor? Or against me.

 

meaning in your favor...like i said before pay for the pre test just make sure it will pass...if it doesnt pass on the pre test you wont be flagged in the system as failed. Failing wont automaticaly make it a gross polluter but if it is a GP on the real test then it will be in the system and then you will have to jump thru hoops to get it to be a NON gross polluter...the pre test is sort of an insurance policy ...I think you will be ok

 

In your favor. The maximum allowable is higher for out-of-state vehicles. If you passed in New York, you will likely pass in California.

 

Y'all are restoring hope in me! Haha I'm still registered in New York and will be until my inspection runs out in November, so I'm ok for right now. I'm just planning ahead so I don't have many surprises

 

Apparently you don't get out the state much if you that proud of the desert lol

 

You realize there's more than one link, right?

 

Pure B.S.

GF: Hey Turbo, you wanna move to Cali?
Turbo: **** No.

 

Would you like to elaborate on that? What about it is pure bs? And Cali ain't that bad. I'm sure with enough new parts and a tune up I'll be just fine.

 

"Emissions testing" serves far more political causes than environmental ones, it's all about control.

 

It's a cash grab, eight bucks every two years for every vehicle 1976 and up.

 

Do you folks out in Kalifornia have RXP ? Its a gas additive you get it at oreilly they usually have it behind the counter. I used it last year to "Help"my 91 mustang with 350K on the clock pass it does work.
By the way I was born in Bakersfield, Cali. raised in Texas. LOL

 

From one extreme to another.

 

I don't know. I've only been here a couple days haha. I'll do my tune up and see what the pre test does once my NY stuff runs out
