Did you have to take it to the state ref to get CARB approved on the swap? And was it easy since it's a motor from a newer model?


The car would not pass the state referee. California is really strict with any type of modification, so it runs the risk of getting state reffed every time i drive it.

Best bet is to wait until Dsms are smog exempt once they pass their 25 year mark.

Oh believe me, I know all about that.

BTW, there's no rolling 25 year mark exemption in CA. Only cars produced before 1976 are exempt:

Unless the law changes, DSMs will never be exempt in CA (except for a few very rural counties).
 
I finally caught up on this thread this week, and look what happened to pop up on my phone the very same day.

I believe that some changes were made, but, based on his YouTube channel I believe that is the priority now is another Mitsubishi platform. :dsm:
Yeah, he added a 98 3000GT VR4 to the stable.
 
I am also surprise there is no conversation kits for this swap available.
