So who has made the trip to the state ref for their car? I got nailed for my intake (CARB Legal) and my BPV. I put the stock DP back on so it will pass smog and all that jazz. Is an aftermarket BPV really that big of a deal?

 

i would just put it back to be on the safe side, it only takes about 10 minutes at most.

 

Put EVERYTHING back on. If you have a carb legal intake and it has a sticker on it you can leave that on.

The ref is ****. They even check timing.

If you're all good they'll do the sniffer and give it a once over visually and you'll be out in under 30 minutes with a certificate. Keep a copy of that in your car.

 

welcome to the club

id put everything back to stock, to save you the trouble. dont go to the fremont location, they were hella **** and made my remove me gauges and turbo timer in order for them "to run their test."

 

That's hella stupid, umm your gauges interfere with the testing of your car please remove them and come back then, ghey!

I just hope the irony of your screen name is not lost on you through all of this...

ok. what has to happen for you to get sent to the State ref. i never even heard of that before.

secondly. i bought my SPT short ram second hand and it has no carb legal sticker on it but i know it is. can i get a sticker for it or what should i do.

 

thats exactly what i said, i ended up going to evergreen and they seemed more chill.

some people have told me that they went to the alameda station and they didnt have any problems with em.

g'luck

 

evergreen refs are hella cool

 

I have a sticker here that you can have. Assuming the part number on the sticker is correct. I've had a few kits come by with stickers missing out of the box and SOA has been kind enough to replace them. I've got one left if you want it. PM me and it's yours.

 

depends on who's testing the car. If its the instructor from Wyotech good luck because he's ****.

 

im not only a member im also the president


nor cal what do you think of when i say compton

well thats where i got pulled over to go tot he ref
like they dont have some thing to do for the community

my car is too far from stock so i paied the 1100$ ticket
