When you get your deck, please just make sure it plays either MP3 input or at least more importantly MP3 CD's. Best decision you'll ever make!! instaed havin like 18 CD's you can fit it all onto 1!!!!!!!!

Wow, we have it good here in Oklahoma, no inspections! Unless a police officer feels like it needs one.

Basically you can drive anything you want as long as a cop won't stop you.

Why was he checkin your vin anyways?

only reason he checked was because i bought the car outta state other wise there wouldnt have been any inspection cause we have nothing else. no emissions or anything.

Speaking of VINs I throw away my old dash but I kept my VIN plate off the dash but the new dash I bought still has the old VIN and I'm tryin to figure out if I should take out the vin and put mine or just put like tape over that VIN and just always carry my VIN in the golve compartment?? But I heard that it's illegal and "unsafe" for a non certified person to swap dashes here in Cali. So you think I should go the extra mile Idaho and pop out the old VIN and insert mine??

not so much technically that yeah because you have aftermarket springs that suddenly you can run your motor to 8K!! but basicly it does help that its aftermarket and forged and if its made of better quality than OEM its gonna be able to take more stress and where OEM standard valve would crap the aftermarket forged better quailty would stride!! thus is how you'd have a slightly higher redline but I'm not sure if you'd worry bout throwing a rod bearing on the bottom end side.
