Damn that's a good deal. The shell alone is worth that if it's as good as he says.

California is full of older hondas like that for dirt cheap due to not being able to pass smog
If the car was tested and fails as a gross polluter every time the car has to be smogged by a state referee and will be under a microscope. Most of the cars just end up in junkyards and are perfect cars minus smog issues.

that could be true in this case as well he's saying he didn't finish the swap but it's just as likely that the missing parts are all he could sell while trying to part it out.

Oh and is it really that hard to pass smog. You can't just buy a new cat and run a stock intake? Human stupidity know no bounds so I figure most people can manage to get even that right.
-
Denatured Alcohol. run that instead of gas. and the car passes the smog test with flying colors.
It doesnt even smell like hairspray when you stand next to the tailpipe.

California smog gets tougher by the day. Jdm motors are now Illegal no matter what and if you get caught with one in your car you will be sent to the state smog refree and must install a stock motor for your car matching the year or nwer but must be the same obd based ecu
Its not that easy just to throw on a cat. for example even if the car passes the tailpipe test if at anytime a check engine light pops up the car is failed
If any vacuum lines are not matching to the oem manual car is failed even if passes tailpipe test
Yes its that picky and the smog techs who cheat the system can be sent to prison/huge fines that would throw them at of the business. I believe after being caught a 2nd time you lose the ability forever to be a smog tech
Also they are videotaped while smogging you car and the vin's/registration papers are scanned numerous times to make sure they are legit
My old smog dude was charging 400 to pass cars illegally and it was pretty clever. I dont want to get into it since some fool may to try to pass the info on but it worked and he never got caught.
He ended up getting out of the automotive field like everyone does here due to the laws/rules and went into the Navy as an officer.
-
And to think, people in this area get mad because the "emissions" in my county are simply visual... is the cat and muffler there, installed with no holes? Yes... pass...
That whole deal sounds like a huge pain out in cali
-
Its a major pain but the crx is going back on the road paid registration fees last week now just need to find a smog hookup. Going to make it look as stock as possible. Got a jdm d15b in the car now just to get it back up and running.f20b will be dropped in after I finish the suspension/brakes.
15 inch steels+stock height. Only way Im going to be able to drive it without getting fucked with. sadly i have some uber duber rare works wheels that just collect dust. I have 2 other sets of rotas for that car also.
Events use to have 20-25 thousand people at races here it was like going to the coolest rock show but with an ungodly amount of racing going on
Last race I heard was less than a thousand people in attendance without one field of cars being full.
The few honda people still left in california are mostly doing road racing these days and not driving the cars on the roads.
-
WA is awesome... I dont even hasve to check the accord (reged in another county that doesnt require it), and the truck is just pass the sniffer (which is pretty fucking leaniant) and the gas cap test...
-
Oh yeah and tons of mexicans driving beat up old honda/acuras. I like to race them in my Tundra while my dogs hang their heads out the windows barking at them has I take my victory from a 280,000 mile integra.
I even raced some couple months back with 2x4's hanging out the back of the grandpa mobile.
-
For those wondering how do the mexicans drive those cars around they steal registration stickers/lisc. plates
Welcome to the joys of California. Throw in the worst economy in the country minus michigan,gang violence,theft and a government looking to fuck you in every way
Thats about the jist of it.
-
This car worth 4000$ here. No Joke.

Florida is arguably worse. With the huge construction boom *everyone* there is a subcontractor or somehow self-employed in one of the supporting markets, which means you don't qualify to be listed as unemployed. Earlier this year the REAL unemployment rate of FL was around 20%.
-
Damn 400, I had a connect for 180, now it's 250 taxed and through a few hands. BTW my camaro just passed smog with flying colors, cost 250, x pipe, no cats and heads/cam
-
this crx is beatdown and the kid dont know shit i called another ad he has about some slipstreams for 150 bucks, drove all the way out to fuckin bfe to find out they were american racing 5 stars..
As for the smog goes. anyone in sac (that deems trustworthy) i got you for 250 no additional taxes.
as far as refs go: simply put, only if your not gonna bar it, roll when the state is broke, cops dont give ref tickets when the CAP (california assistance program) is down.
Right now honestly is the easiest time to get ref'd they dont test on site out here anymore, they do a visual, slap your bar sticker and tell you to goto a test only center.
If your failing smog slightly add a gallon of e85 to your 2/3 full tank.. we tested this and its crazy how much the co and hc drop.
yay.

Yeah during my constuction working days about every bum worker guys that would get hired and then fired within a few months all had stories about how they subcontracted in florida and couldn't keep steady work got robbed by cubans then had to call mom for a greyhound ticket home.

The ones that could cut it were hood rich and spent their money accordingly on toys, and are now destitute.
