gov't helps u pass smog...

[powerFC]

from a fellow rotary head:

hey all, for some people dont know, our state *CA* can help up to $500.00 and $100.00 deductable from u, to get ur car pass smog. i went thru a test station and failed because the car was a gross polluter. i send a application from < www.smogcheck.ca.gov > to the state and got their approvel to fix my FD. only took me 2 weeks right after i sent the letter and receive their approvel. i just got my car back and i'm happy that my FD pass smog. i have no mods so far fully stock and i would rec. this to anyone that need their car pass smog. everyone should take this advantage cauz the state pays for labor/diag/parts/and to make sure ur car pass california limit, so its pretty cool.

Yes folks, he's right. BUT this only applies to Test Only stations. If your car fails, you pay a minimum of $100 of repairs, and then the state will cover up to $400 in additional costs.

so... if i fail for not having cats, the state will help me buy an oem exhaust sytem for my car? cuz the car didnt' come with one

[Ritz S14]

Oh.. if your car is modified.. you get absolutely nothing.

For the visual you can enter:

P = Pass
F = Fail
D = Defective (with age..things fall apart..so it is labled as defective)
M = Modified

[Andrew Bohan]

well that blows. haha. guess i'll have to go find the stock exhaust. if i put that on and the 17 year old cats cause it to fail, THEN will they help me buy new cats? D = defective right?
