The answer to the question about this being legal or not would propably be best answered by you local PD. Just give them a call and ask them.

how easy is it for a company to forge those documents? If i got a drop, id want to be sure the motor was not hot.

cops wont know a dohc motor from a sohc. they wont know its a h22 and not a f22. they just look for ***** that require CARB certifications like intake and header, and be dicks about exhaust systems that exceed 95dB. i know lot of guys in different car clubs w/ JDM h22s and they wouldnt be able to pass SMOG for **** cuz its JDM but they just go to ghetto places and pay under the table to pass SMOG.

cops are big dicks in Cali from what i'm told from friends. they actually have special enforcment units on this stuff. they DO know the different between SOHC and DOHC and they most definatly spot turbos on civics... which is against the CARB **** Edict. most importantly they DO check serial #'s ... so dont get caught slippin.
