Always worth a shot...that's how many guys pass with their sr swaps from no visuals states. You'd have to have a perfect running sr basically.

If you can go to another state and get it smogged and go back......alot of states are really strict on this stuff, but thanks for me living in Georgia, and not in Atlanta, I dont have to worry about this stuff......Hopefully I wont in the future..........

Just curios, did you read anything in the sticky???Not tryin to sound mean or be a hole.......

haha no I am not trying to get it passed legally because it wont, VA has a visual inspection as well meaning if the EGR accessories are gone then I immediately fail, so I was referring to something else in terms of "help".

How the heck can I get it tested in another state??? its registered in VA hence the VA inspection.

Yes I have relatives out of state but that would require me to register my car in that state meaning I would need to do a whole lot of crap. It would be a lot easier just getting someone to do it here.

Noob! question here. I don't get this whole double register thing. I live in IL and I guess we test by counties so should I just register it in another county or state close to me that does not do emissions and tell the cop I store the car there if I get like pulled over?

I'm also reading my states emission site, it says that 1996 and newer cars don't do exhaust emissions tests, just the OBD test. What do i have to worry about here?

The best way to smog your ride is the legal way! We legally pass the vehicles using CNG/LPG/propane gas. The vehicles are slightly modified and passed on propane, and then, upon the owners discretion, changed back to regular pump gasoline, there are no permanent modifications done to the vehicle, the turnaround is about 4-6 hours.

We will gladly explain the conversion process to anyone who would like to convert their own vehicles, please feel free to email us at: [email protected] with any questions. Any engine can be legally smogged and registered. Turboed, supercharged, high compression JDM motors, SR20's, KA's, RB26's, or any engine in any car.
