a family friend does smog. he has been passing my cars for about 2 years now and said he would take care of it, although i dont even like mentioning it bcuz i dont wanna get him in trouble. so although it sounds risky, i am just gonna swap the VINs and send a junker 6th gen back with a swapped dash. i got an extra RHD dash, the air bag in blown but it dont matter i am gonna just swap the dash and send that one back and weld in the old VIN, the junker is currently registered and "passed" smog last year. i just was a bit weary bcuz the company only took wire transfer and that can be kinda risky over the internet. i mean its been a big long process about 6 months so far, but i hope to have it by the end of the year. the paper work takes FOREVER! i am bringing it over for "repair or alteration" temporary exemption code "A" that way when i send it back if there is any problem i can just say it was sent here 2 be fixed, but never got fixed. and i do not need a EPA waiver bcuz the 3s is in the us spec mr-2 turbo, there is no difference in gen. as far as the EPA knows. and i state that the car will only be here for 90 days, after which it must be "exported or destroyed" if it does not have a full EPA exemption. as u can tell its been a long process, it would have been so much easier if i was in the Japanese army!! lol well wish me luck!
