18006227733

 

anymore info on this

 

I have my court date on the 26.

 

good luck

 

Want a REAL answer go to the ref and find out. As far as I know If you car was not previously equiped with the sister USDM motor of the JDM motor it is illegal. 95 civics came with D15 in them so your swap if you have all the proper USDM emission stuff is legal and can be bar'd

JDM motor can not be ref'd in a veh that does not have the sister USDM motor. It has to be a equivalent swap or a USDM swap.


twice
Those extensions can only be granted byt he judge. If you feel you can't pass pay the fine/bail amount

 

any updates???????

 

I just passed.
Court fine is $400 if you opt. to just say screw the ref.

But thats $400 wasted IMHO. You can use the $400 to just swap the JDM bottom end with a US one used the piston and get the high compression that makes the JDM motors have that "extra" punch and by on your way.

 

Since i didnt want to make a new post about going to state ref.

but i got pulled over in Oakland last night by CHP....go the usual pop the hood and blah blah. He gave me a ticket for Modified Exhaust VC 27150, its checked correctable. He said i would have to put the stock one back on & go to state referee. He also put a sticker on the back of the ticket that says State Referee Cerification Required - No Officer Sign-off.

The thing is I was wondering since the ticket is only for modified exhaust do they also check my engine and stuff if i go in? My DA has a JDM B16A in it, would that matter? I'm already switching out my exhaust for a stock one along with my header.

Would it be a bad idea to try to go there with my RS-R full catback still on? Because dont they only check it for if it passes the 95dB rating?

Thanks

 

im pretty sure ref is only suppose to check your exhaust since the ticket does not state anything about your motor

 

IMPORTANT UPDATE:

Mike, the SWC Referee gave me a call 5 minutes ago. There's been a change to the rules reguarding JDM engines. They are now reconsidering JDM engine swaps case by case.

 

hopefully my local ref will allow that. I'll have to call and ask.

 

last week i went to the ref for this citation. he did check the motor and said he cant run the db test if you're running an illegal motor.

 

any updates lol

 

just posting to revive this thread because it keeps getting brought up.. its a good topic as well.
