  • Smog Testing in California

    Hey everyone. I may end up bringing the Camaro down to California with me afterall this summer. My family is currently putting money into it now but living in Oceanside has seriously changed my driving habits from colorado springs standards. Normally it would take me 35-hr drive to get somewere back in Colorado but here Oceanside I normally spend less than 10 minutes driving somewere the longest I have been on the road has been over an hour driving up to Los Angeles which is why I wanna bring it. Soon I could be biking to work and getting a Garage in my Apartment that would permit me to bring the camaro here safely and use it when I need it.

    My roommate has a Dodge Stratus 4 banger so even if gas gets over $6.00 a gallon we've got this covered. My only concern is Smog testing. My car has a Thrush exhaust and Intake which to my understanding thats an automatic fail. Is there any possible loop holes I can use to my advantage? Like making my car smog excempt?

    But seriously theres a place down the street were I live that can paint my car better than Macco for $400. Also West Coast Customs is opening up shop in the neighborhood. I wanna enjoy the T-Top near the beach. :)

    Oceanside is really a nice place. A bit expensive to live there too. Are you close to the base? What do you do there?

    As long as your muffler is fully functional and you have OBDII cat you should be fine. Also, I think you can keep your old Colorado plate on it and just pay Colorado the registration fee. That's how those EFI supped up cars here in Cali get away with it.

    West Coast Custom is only 5 miles away from me. They were the original shop for Pimp My Ride. I saw Ryan the owner, Ish the upholstery guy, and Q the manager.

      I work on Camp Pendleton for MCCS.

      I won't be there forever tho cuz I'm moving to Los Angeles next year.

      I kind of don't wanna keep the Colorado License plates either. I like the cali ones better.

        I would stay in Oceanside if I were you. LA is a mad place to live.

          If I stay in Oceanside chances are ill end up driving a Camaro for life and I want an exotic.... I may end up moving to Carlsbad or Eincintas in the near future when its time to settle down IF i wanna stay by the Ocean.

          LA is Harsh but fun. :)
