I got a letter about getting my car done at a test only center... Im 100% screwed. Am i going to have to sell my car after 4 months of hard work and not even driving??? im at a loss of what to do. I have just spent my last pennys on injectors( because SOMEONE sold me the wrong ones 4 months ago, before i even started putting in the kit) and tuning... well saving up for tuning. There is no way i have the resources to take out the turbo setup, and if I were too, I still have a 2.0 block with 9.1:1 cr which would probably fail any ways. is there ANYTHING i can do or, am i going to have to kill myself.

 

get a motor just to smog ur car.

 

where can I find a motor for $29.... i got like 36 cents in my pocket too

 

That sucks big time! How did you get a letter? Sounds kind of strange...

 

man i guess good luck, i thought everybody here in cali knows that any car that has to be smogged you have to stick with parts that have a carb eo number or a spare motor to smog it with.

 

That sucks . . . but you do live in California, so I don't get why this is such a surprise . . . .

 

the surprise is that there asking him to take it to a test only center. Usually you just get something in the mail to renew your registration. You get a smog, pay your fee, and your done...

 

if there are any shops around you that do swaps they should have tons of stock motors layying around ask for one and keep bothering they might give you one

 

every now n then cali surprises you with a test-only smog, i just had one last year. you live in so. cali tho, and if ya want i can help you out with that smog check but its gonna cost ya.....and yes i can get it thru a test only center. PM me if interested. peace!

 

i was just curious if there is someone that could help me out, cause everyone ive talked to hasnt pmed me back...

 

$200 and i can get it done.

 

$200 is a good deal , i've paid more than that in the past

 

theres a easy way to fix all of that dont live in cali but hey yeah go witht hat 200$ thats a good deal i would think i live in VA so far as long as u have a cat converter u pass the smog test but hopefully that doesnt change for a while well good luck latr

 

 

smog at a ref. station bro. it should pass if you have all origanal smog equiptment on your engine.

 

I got the option of of the reg or test only, and I went to a test only one anyways. $150 will get you passed. I had to bring an identical car as mine to get it smogged though which is a hassle since I'm OBDII. But my friends didn't even need their cars. Just bring in their paper and they passed since they're OBDI

 

no one is answering my pms
