find a shady smog shop, slip em some cash and you'll pass...

Honestly man california fucking sucks... they crack down on all the wrong people. Think theyre helping the environment/stopping street racing. emoji

You just have to dive in, keep your car low key/sleeper and your fingers crossed!!!

To Stay N/A with $5,000

Cold Air Intake
60mm Throttle Body
Cams
Underdrive Pulley
Headers
Hi Flow Cat
Cat back exhaust
Raise Compression
Port/Polish
Weight Reduction (free)
(SMALL of nitrous if money left over)

you should be in high 13's or low 14's

Even with all those, you should have enough left to drop the car with some Tein or H&R springs and possibly some decent wheels.

There is no way you're going to be in Mid-13's with those mods unless you are using a TON of nitrous....maybe at 11:1 compression and a SERIOUS weight reduction....

get a turbo dude and just reset the CEL right before the emissions check w/a pocketlogger...most CEL's take a little bit of driving to trip..

Sorry to have to break it to you but...if you reset the ecu and dont drive for the minimum amt where the computer will run ALL diagnosis (which will trip the CEL again if it continues out of whack) the OBD2 sys will tell the guy to send you away

BTW i think you are lucky you are 95 in this case...i got a CEL all the time on (disconected EGR...its there just for show though...everything APARENTLY hoooked up)...i still pass in NV which is similar to the CA test (dont remember the CA ISO for their test..i know they measure NOx for fail... we dont...but if you making NOx..means you are running hot and lean which in a turbo's case means dissaster...most the time you will run pig rich after turbo...hopefully you got a great CAT converter that can chew through those HC's)

Buy a turbo kit and rebuild your bottom end, then keep your intake, manifold, and exhaust and whenever you have to get checked just put your stock shit back on emoji

You need more than $5000 to have a turbo, rebuild, and pass smog. Going to get flamed . . . assuming your still stock sell your car and get a gsx. emoji

Only $1000 for intake, header, and cat back exhaust. Oh! 20-25 hp! What a bargain huh? I'm in the same boat, I hate those damn treehuggers. Too bad murder is a crime or they'd be dead already
