i would just be worried about the cars issue. if they are stock then you are fine. otherwise, if you have them lowered or have externally visual modifications, you will/might not get the safety check needed to register your cars here and have to get recon first which is a PITA. once you are here, you can get away with it for a year at a time.
the main items. make your car close to stock height, put on stock rims and stock exhaust. once here, then back to normal.

Hangbot: I forgot about that... my bad.
But I'll the giver!
DC: 2 Rexes? Damn... u love them subies... as for recon, yeah... anything bigger than 1" from ur OEM spec will cause some drama (?) Correct me, B. I don't know the process too well.

That's not far from me at all. How do you like Oahu?
Any CARB legal exhaust will pass. I'd be more worried about suspension mods. Shouldn't be a big problem either as long as you meet the requirments(plates must be 12" off the ground and must have alignment that shows everything is within specs).

Here's my advice, move somewhere else. There are about a million other places that are better than Hawaii in almost everyway. Don't get me wrong I liked some of the stuff in Hawaii, and I have lots of great friends still there.

No Indy 500 over there! I don't think I'm going to go anyway. If you like Hawaii and can do well there then enjoy it. It's a cool place, and I did really enjoy living there for almost 2 years.
