Fun to drive, seems like you're going faster than you really are. Don't drive it much anymore, need to rebuild the carbs because I don't drive it enough - seals dried out.We were hoping that the exemptions would get up to 1979, then the first year 1st gens would have been exempted
Didn't happen.

Don't daily drive a polluter. The emissions laws are there for a reason. Though it is arguable how big of impact cars have on the environment, it's obvious that any rotary operating without any emissions is dumping more crap into the air then say a stock Honda Civic.
Daily something legal, save your non-emissions for track/weekends. This will help you avoid all the hassle with the police. DCrosby already explained how to go about doing that. 5k miles per year is very lenient. I've only used my Rx7 as a weekend car, and I haven't even put enough miles in it for the first oil change. I've had this car since last July. I doubt I'll put too much miles on it until then. Plus, insurance is cheaper for these type of cars.
I'm going to register my Rx7 this way the next time it needs to be registered(last time the car was bone stock and passed smog). You could probably go the same route with your 20B setup.
Every time I drive my Rx7 around now, I'm scared of getting pulled over by a cop for either my missing front plate or loud exhaust then for them to discover that I have absolutely no emissions. I'm not sure what the status on state-ref system is anymore, but I'm sure under Obama's new regime, it's going to be reinstated and maybe it'll be even stricter.
