CA Lurking for awhile, finally have something to say

And I find that I cant post the topic i'd like to talk about until I get my post count up.
Probably to prevent spamming, but thems the rules kids.

Expect a "Rotary powered BMW 2002 idea" post coming soon, what forum should it go in?

The F20's already regarded as one of the most fantastic engines every produced in the US, i'm not sure why you'd want to get rid of it in a car balanced for it, especially since a turbo rotary wont pass CA smog

Sounds like a step in the wrong direction IMHO.

I agree.

Also, laws in South Carolina state (though I'm pretty certain they're not enforced) that you cannot have an engine from an older car, put into a newer car.

For example. You could take a LS1 and stick it in a FC, and it'd be fine. But it would be illegal to take a 13b from a FC and put it in a 2nd gen miata.

I'm pretty certain that's how it is in these parts. And I know that Cali laws are Ssssooooo much worse.

You'd have to go to hell and back to get it street legal, and I'd be willing to bet it'd be impossible in Cali.

Thats pretty much correct. No car that shipped without a turbo will pass visual inspection. It doesnt matter how clean it comes out on the sniffer test, you'll get instantly declined as soon as they see the new mill.
Unless its a pre1975 car (like a BMW 2002 )
