Get stock emissions equipment and install as needed for smog tests/referee/inspections.

Beyond that is this thread: https://www.rx7club.com/west-rx-7-fo...re-wow-979019/

We don't get nice things in CA.

That thread sure is discouraging... So I understand not to discuss this on the forums. But I need to get this info...so if anyone has the information I need, call or text me: 425 941 8276 I'm not trying to be sketchy or illegal per say...but in Washington I don't need to pass emissions since my car became a "classic" this year. I just heard that doesn't fly in Cali and I want to know what other Cali Rx7 guys do. I see a lot of nice sevens from Cali after all...

Keep it registered in WA, and keep your WA driver's license handy. EASY!

I am registered in Florida and keep it that way for this main reason. Trust me turtle leave it registered back home.

If you get pulled over I am visiting my family in town sgoukd be your only answer.

Dont let them pop your hood because you dont abide by California smog laws because you are not registered here. Worst thing they can do is hit you with moving violations.

So dobt do anything dumb on the roads and you are straight. Btw I got pulled over by CHP friday I at the red light on the on ramp it went like this.

Sir I noticed your plates are from out if state. Here in California red means stop. I am giving you a verbal warning be carefull getting back on the freeway
Me-. "Thank you I appreciate it"
officer.....I cant hear you your car is too loud.
Me -sorry
Officer -no worries

If that was a California registered vehicle lol..... yeah sir can you poo your hood and step out.
