Got pulled over about a 1/4 block from Bimmer fest. He pulled me over for no front plate then had me open my hood and raped me with no lube . Anyone got any advice on taking my car in to the ref? Here's an under hood pic.

 

I say you could take it back to stock....or just pay the fine. the fine about 400 to 500 bucks which is alot.

 

Hey that's my old setup! Very nice. Just pay the fine bro. Also, get rid of that smog pump! Good luck.

 

turn it back to stock and then once thats done but your mods back on

 

damn tyler, that definitely sucks.

from what i can see, put the stock intake on and if you have a downpipe, throw the stock one on too. cat backs are ok so long as it's not too loud.

 

I say you're fucked.

 

^ or PM this dude for help

 

Just pay the fine. You gotta pay to play. It is not going to be easy putting everything back to stock. Especially since you had to custom cut a few things to make the Blitz FMIC to fit. Nice setup btw, very similar to mine. I love that blitz intercooler.

 

what a bust...is that what the officer said? that he pulled you over for no front plate then popped your hood?

DJDino- check PM

 

intercooler upgrades are OK as long as they're on OEM equiped turbos

 

my teachers a stateref... the front mount is fine and since you already have the smog pump i say just go back to stock get rid of that bov and find a stocker and the stock down pipe stock intake you should be good bro... and if you have a boost controller or turbo timer gotta take them out... in that case i say just pay the fine

 

Yes, you are right. But try putting back the stock intake with the Blitz FMIC blocking it. The only FMIC that will allow your stock intake to fit is the RX7Fashion FMIC, and they've been discontinued for years. Luckily, i was able to find one.

OP, unless if those are the HKS intakes that were once Carb legal and came with a Carb number you should be fine. I could try to find the carb number if you do not have it, but it's not guranteed to work because they usually want the actual sticker and original receipt of purchase. But of course you would have to connect the stock bov and airpump the way it's suppose to be. So it's a 50/50 shot you have of passing, but would you want to take that chance with a state ref?

So either pay the fine, or do your best to put it back to stock.

yeah thats ok for smog purposes but it doesnt meen you can drive around with them, my buddy is a chp and they have the book for aftermarket parts and you are not alolowed to have 1 on your car. cali says your car has to be 100% stock

the smog laws are different, i know its stupid but its california for you

 

dude Tyler that sucks!

these guys have pretty much said your options for you... ive been scared of this happening to me...

even worse, this is your second time is it not?!?!

 

Pay the fine, register out of state.

 

Or sell it to me so you dont have to pay it. Judge will approve with no hesitation. I own a RX-7 junkyard.

 

CAn i just pay the fine? I thought i was required to go to the reff?
Yeah i have most everything but the DP, the HKS intakes are carb leagal

I would need to put the stock elbo back on since it has the nipple on it for extended warm up crap. This is going to be a lot of work.
thanks ***
How does a turbo timer and a boost controller cause smog issues? The turbo timer is plug and play so i could pull that out but the boost controller right.
Yeah but the last time the guy wrote manafold on the ticket so i pulled in the ref station and showed him the ticket he asked me to opened my hood and the guy laffed and signed it off. I was 100% stock pritty much. This time i'm a little more FUBR

 

Yeah i'm looking at doing that cousin lives in FL so yeah. If i can just pay a fine and am not required to go to the smog ref that's what i'll do **** swaping it all back to stock.
15k and you can have it

 

good luck with everything tyler. keep me up-to-date
Hide the boost controller but set it to stock boost. Auto (Turbo) Timers are also 100% smog legal. Just turn it off when it's getting tested

 

even though they have no effect on emissions several people have been failed because it was installed.

 

Those techs should have their licenses revoked they obviously weren't reading their books in CACC Basic class when they were trying to get their smog license

 

totally agree but we're pretty much at their mercy

 

not me

least till i get a ref citation

 

i will double that!!!

 

will u slurp wit dat?
