n00b in Socal
Had my 1996 M-ed for about a year, but I just moved from DC to LA and the miata is a great car for SoCal. I drive with the top down almost everyday! I've got a JRSC, but my previous 3 cars (all Nissans) were all turbo'd. Still not sure if I like the SC or turbo better.

funny you should mention that, I have thought about painting the car black (it's currently a dark purplish blue). I'll post pics when I find my camera which is still in a box somewhere.

Any particular part of the visual the the inspector is keying in on? He can't just open the hood and say "FAIL"... he's gotta tell you why.
And you should click on USER CP and put Santa Monica in your location. Also click on SIGNATURE and write something about your car so it appears in your posts.
A lot of guys with turbo cars here in CA convert back to stock one day a year for the check.

some of the hoses is what they said wouldn't pass oh and the timing (which I bumped down to what I think is 6-7 for the **** poor gas in CA). I might try to find a more mod friendly SMOG.

I finally got my car past smog. Now it's time to get a smaller pully and see if that will satisfy my power (for now). I'm still thinking about going turbo next year, a 220whp miata sounds tempting.
