Okay, so obviously by the title you know what this post is about; my tuning solution for my vehicle is going to either be AEM EMS2, or Hondata S300, and obviously neither will allow me to pass emissions..
My vehicle was scheduled for emissions testing 1 month before it was to become too old to be tested--actually a few days-- none-the-less the stock ECU will no longer be running since i am swapping to an obd1 ecu and motor--
Is there a way i can "sell" my vehicle to a friend and buy it back and not have to test my vehicle then? Or will the DMV see that it wasnt tested when it was due last time and still request the test?
Let me know what you guys think-

Are you in CA. The only way around it is to "give" the vehicle to a family memeber. Not sure how many times that will work though.

 

cant do this anymore....they now require a smog cert before they finalize the transfer. been there done that.

 

If it is a obd2 car your screwed. you cant sell or transfer ownership of a car anymore without a smog cert.

 

Im sorry I was incorrect. If you transfer when the Biannual is due ,you still have to complete the biannual.
This still does not apply between family members. Only if the Biannual is due.

 

what is the year when its too old and you dont have to smog it anymore?

 

my mother transfered my civic si back to me....didnt work anymore.
dmv told me they require a smog to finish the transfer of title.

 

So what's going to happen if I can NEVER pass emissions? Am i just going to have to keep paying for emissions testing every month or what?

 

Perhaps the Biannual was due.

The cut off date is 1975. '76 and newer cars will ALWAYS have to be smogged. With some exceptions(unless the law changes in the future)

 

Go back to stock.

 

Just pay the 100 bux to have it passed by a shop if you could find one. Then u wont have to worry bout it for another 2 years.
