Oh but there is more....
There is a specific airbox top, special trip counter, special speedo cable, special footwell foam, Dash gauge bezel with indicators, multi-chamber muffler with CAT, CAT mounted sensor & relay....as well as the defacto charcoal evap components & plumbing.
yeah
but our friend is just bringing a 49 state car in.
and even in the case of a calif. car.
none of that is on the CARB certification that dickhead down at the DMV uses to do his/her/they's check.
they are just looking for the bits on the CARB certification.
which i posted above earlier. thats the documentation they are using.
in the case of a actual car.
pump.
egr.
cat.
these pricks are just going through the motions.
they are signing off on a visual.
and then an insert up the tail pipe.
correct me if i am wrong?
there is nothing about counters etc in the CARB documentation.
its all lost in the mists of time.
and besides its irrelevant, its tied into the manufacturer's warranty.
50,000 mi or 5 years. long since expired. that is why the counter is there.
thats all over when the initial emissions warranty ends.
they just want to tick boxes? yep the cat is there. etc. tick.
or alternatively find reasons to put you off the road.
electric man......thats where its at?
its gonna happen here so i shouldn't joke too much. i can see it coming!
except it will be far more blunt and authoritarian in australia. pure morals. no ethical logic.
you are right about the airbox. egr hookup.
complex.
evap is universal. calif and 49 states. no difference.
