I was talking to my dad today about me keeping the 240. the 2 options are to either give the car back to the seller, or take out all the "illegal" parts and replace tehm so the car will pass smog. Theres no way i could do something like that to such a beautiful car, it looks like im going to have to say goodbye. It was fun while it lasted. sucks it had to end up like this. have nice night everybody. have fun with your 240s.

Except an exhaust (catback) shouldnt make you not pass smog, if you had a test pipe on the other hand...

What are your mods exactly

if i keep the car im going to have to turn it back to stock. im not too sure exactly what the mods are, i bought the car like this. its turbo, has a huge exhasut system, no cat, new fuel system, custom intake maniold, there is nothing stock about it. i took it to see if it would pass smog and one guy said no way. i found a place that would do it for me for the right price. but now my dads trippin. i'm gunna be one pissed off kid if i cant keep the car.

KDashy, i like your sig.

so the seller didn't tell you it wouldn't pass emissions?

If he did...you might have trouble getting him to take it back.

im beginning to think you dont have a 240 at all

you just dont make sense to me

i mean.. most people (especially on NICO) would post pics of their new whips almost right away.. or sometimes before they even buy it.. and yet you have a "sweet" 240 and havent shared- not even when asked to repeatedly?

i'm not sure what exactly happened, but...If you bought a car that can't pass emissions and din't know it wouldn't pass, you can force the seller to make it pass. In CA, you cannot sell a vehicle w/o a smog certificate, its the LAW. Happened to me. I sold my car "AS IS" with out a smog cert, i get a call saying i'm about to be sued unless i pay. I researched and its true.

I say you do that or trade hella people for your after market crap for stock parts. people will have what you need.

This is the end, beautiful friendThis is the end, my only friendThe end of our elaborate plansThe end of everything that standsThe end

No safety or surpriseThe endI'll never look into your eyes again

Can you picture what will beSo limitless and freeDesperately in need of some stranger's handIn a desperate land

Lost in a Roman wilderness of painAnd all the children are insaneAll the children are insaneWaiting for the summer rainThere's danger on the edge of townRide the King's highwayWeird scenes inside the gold mineRide the highway West, baby

Ride the snakeRide the snakeTo the lakeTo the lake

The ancient lake, babyThe snake is longSeven milesRide the snake

He's oldAnd his skin is coldThe West is the bestThe West is the bestGet here and we'll do the rest

The blue bus is calling usThe blue bus is calling usDriver, where are you taking us?

The killer awoke before dawnHe put his boots onHe took a face from the ancient galleryAnd he walked on down the hall

He went into the room where his sister livedAnd then he paid a visit to his brotherAnd then he walked on down the hallAnd he came to a doorAnd he looked insideFatherYes son? I want to kill youMother, I want to. . .

C'mon baby, take a chance with usC'mon baby, take a chance with usC'mon baby, take a chance with usAnd meet me at the back of the blue bus

This is the end, beautiful friendThis is the end, my only friendThe end

It hurts to set you freeBut you'll never follow me

The end of laughter and soft liesThe end of nights we tried to die

This is the end

Badfish: What song is that??

Everyone else: You do realise in Cali they have to pass a vehicle inspection right??? You can't just slap a cat on a completely custom turbo installed car and expect to pass the inspection......Still not gonna happen.

go ahead and think its BS. i could care less right now. why would i be posting all this if i didnt have a car. and just because i dont post pics doesnt mean a thing. it means that i have better things to do with a car, like drive it, than take pictures of it. you guys are taking this way too seriously, i thought you guys would be trying to help, but i guess you're just too into your own thing. its all good.

This is why I hate most parents. I'm sure that even if you knew someone who would look the other way on some of the "off road only" parts, there is nothing you could say that would change your dad's mind. And I'm sure it would do no good to explain the theory of business and governent that expecets at least 10% non-compliance on all laws and regulations as a rule. The monitary implication for this is; for every 1% gained toward the assumed goal of total compliance, the cost doubles. The social implication of this; if every rule or law was enforced into total compliance there would be a riot. Laws are made to be broken, just don't be the one they catch breaking it.
