[HIM]

everywhere in cali, you are " required " to pass emissions.


If you move near me, then we can talk about passing your sr20 =)

If there was a city that was exempt from it do you know how many people would be registering under that city? lol

[blownmotor]

There are certain areas that is rural enough not to have it

[sr20kouki]

where do you live "HIM"

I'm inclined to agree.

I spoke to a guy who registered his car up in rural norcal so that he doesn't have to deal with smog. I forgot the details, but I think there are some loopholes.

CARB's Website has a nice map of smog regulations county by county.

Also, we don't talk about illegal smogs around here.

I dont know about California, but in Indiana its that way; only the industrialized northwest counties of the state (where I live) have to pass emissions. The rural part of the state has nothing. It saves money by only testing where it's needed. It wouldnt make financial sense for California to test the eastern part of the state, but then again it is California...

There are different levels of smog requirements.

Areas of the State

All areas of California require Smog Check certifications when a specified model year (http://www.bar.ca.gov/80_BARResources/02_SmogCheck/Vehicle_Model_Years_Subject_to_Smog_Check.pdf) vehicle changes ownership or is registered for the first time in California. The Smog Check program divides the state into four areas.
Enhanced Areas: Vehicles within specified model years are required to be certified every two years during their registration renewal with DMV. Also a portion of the vehicles are required to obtain a certificate (passing Smog test) from a Test-Only or Gold Shield station. Vehicles registered in an Enhanced Area must receive an ASM (Acceleration Simulation Mode) Smog Check unless the vehicle is not compatible.
Partially Enhanced Areas: Vehicles within specified model years are required to be certified every two years during their registration renewal with DMV. Vehicles are not directed to be certified at Test Only or Gold Shield stations. Vehicles registered in a Partially Enhanced Area must receive an ASM Smog Check unless the vehicle is not compatible.
Basic Areas: Vehicles within specified model years are required to be certified every two years during their registration renewal with DMV. Vehicles registered in a Basic Area must receive a TSI (Two Speed Idle) Smog Check.
Change of Ownership Areas: Vehicles within specified model years are required to be certified only upon change of ownership or initial registration in California. Vehicles registered in this area must receive a TSI (Two Speed Idle) Smog Check.

The best one is "Change of Ownership Areas"




Here's the map of the counties that have it.

Thing is you can do all that work, drive in major cities, and still get REF'd. :duh:
