Thanks for the info and I have to dive into this more. I know they are going to penalize me for not changing title and all over knowing I brought it in last summer. They want their money (use tax) even if it is sitting in my garage with Hawaii storage title. I thought I might sell it so did not want to bother until I make a decision. Thanks again!

I can help when the time comes.

Thanks for the offer and greatly appreciated. I have a few issues to address when I have some time before I can even think about trying to SMOG it. I wish there was a way to get a test to just see where I am at without them putting the car in the system.

I see on reason why you can't do a pre test. Getting the car to the testing facility is the problem. Use a trailer or get a temp pass from the DMV.

Hawaii, when did you relocate to Cali? I must have missed that

I had to suddenly relocate to Cali last May after I returned to Hawaii from Japan in March. Long story, but basically for a job offer after my position in Hawaii being obligated to someone else returning from overseas. Thanks for your thoughts.

The owners were too busy look at other people cars

Ive only seen 3 ZR-1s at this Cars and Coffee GTG.One was a red 90 or 91 a black 91 that the guy that owns it hasn't got a clue as to what hes up against when he needs help with the injectors,didn't really want to have a conversation and another black car that was leaving when I was.For those in the area this thing is a mind blower.Where else can you find an original Ford G.T.40 parked next to some rusty,clapped out Rat Rod?

My apologies to the OP for bringing up all kinds of other subjects to your post.

Thanks for the tips and tricks posted that will help me when the day comes and like Z51Jeff said, I am curious to know how far off I am to meet Cali sniffer.

Let's try to make an effort to meet later this year!
