I live in Nevada and my car is currently registered as non-op in CA. If you don't know my car, its a full blown out race car.

No headlights/blinkers/any wires that don't make my car run. Its pretty bare boned and fast. I am away at college and wanna drive this bad boy on the street when the weather is nice.

What do I have to do to get the car legally registered and drive able up here?

pix from the last time I got to drive the car:




I would take off all the decals, and remove the wing and front splitter when I would drive it on the street.

no input other than....



YES!

 

Come to SC where that is legal. No Safety or Emissions here.

 

Street car:

 

Buy another silver Miata, copy the forms, copy the stickers.

 

Since its a California car, wouldn't it have to pass as a California car, even in NV? I feel like I just read a thread about a similar thing

 

 

I thoguht you sold the car? How is it doing?

 

I ended up keeping it, its been sitting in my parents garage for the past 7 months. It gets fired up every 4 weeks, warmed up and driven for about 15-20 min then parked.

This Saturday will be one of those weekends, ill be flogging it this time though.

 

Sounds like kids in a divorce, only see it once a month. Take it out for some fun. Then park it until the next visitation comes. Seriously, your car is bad ***. I would love to see it in person someday.

looks like you can get "Classic Rod" plates.
I don't know how lenient it is in Nevada, but in MD I have historic tags and the exact wording is:
i.e. pretty vague

 

 

It's an NA. Unless it's a '93, there was no meaningful difference between CA and non-CA (and even then, the difference is fairly subtle- sequential vs. batch injection.)


I can't imagine that any state other than CA enforcing different tailpipe standards for CA vs non-CA cars.

Ill be driving it this saturday around town, if your in the bay area let me know I would love to talk about wrenches, nuts and bolts its been way to long.

 

I fully support this idea

 

Sounds like I may need to take a scenic drive to the bay area, too bad my car isnt done. I can always bring pics, but that just doesnt do justice.

 

2nd. Throw some lights on it and call it a day.

 

The smart thing to do would be to enjoy it at the track, but if it were me I'd bring it over to NV and try to register it anyways.

If you have time this weekend and don't mind driving down I'm cleaning up the wiring in my car. A second opinion and some help would be appreciated.
