you can pass with anything if you know the right places and have the right $$$

most likely you won't be able to get a BAR sticker though

how difficult is this to understand....JDM engines will pass smog in cali if there running OK but they will NOT pass visual (its SUPPOSE to be an automatic fail,regardless whether other peeps have gotten away with it your taking a chance)
