If something as "trivial" as having to smog a 240 w/ SR is keeping you from moving back to Cali, then you don't have a strong enough want/reason to move back.

Easiest thing to do would be sell your 240, either there or here - someone will figure out how to register it .

The amount of trouble you'll get from the LEOs has more to do with any external mods you may have. I'm sure there are some police that can hear the difference between certain turbo engines, but they are far more likely to spot an over sized exhaust, chrome rims and a huge wing.

As long as you keep things calm on the road, and invest in extra Go! instead of extra chrome, you should be fine.

Just don't drive like an idiot, stay low key and watch those revs if you're loud and try not to have your BOV go off next to a cop and you should be fine.

Watch the window tint too if you have any on the driver/passenger windows.

What whereabouts where you thinking in Cali? That matters too.

yep you need to tell us where exactly you are moving to. In the boonies where I live, cops don't really know what my car is and havn't messed w/ me so far. I have a ka-t with catless exhaust, oa bov, yadda yadda.

Little things help avoid cops just to let you know like having a front license plate, not having colored bulbs, smoked tails, giant spoiler, crazy looking wheels, loud exhaust....it's self-explanatory...

Car will be stolen, car will definetly be stolen there, a chance of stolen, but not as much as the other two, ugh. Be sure to arm your baby with a trunk monkey and all that goodness.

Sacremento, no clue about car safety and police out there.

Ontario PD is busy enough with shootings and gangs so you should be fine, but do you want to live in that area? But, I'm mostly thinking of how ****ty the Dave and Busters at Ontario is haha.

You know, since I have all my cooling mods for my stock KA. I should just move to Vegas or work at the Pechanga as a slot tech and make bank. :P

Cali is great place weather wise for cars, but for law authority, it sucks. + the recent out breaks of 240 thefts, but it's happening mostly in..umm....what's a nice word for ghetto/ghetto'ish areas? lol
