I wonder if that applies to selling in-state only. 2 out of the 4 cars/trucks i've bought in CA had failed emissions. Unsure if that's truly the same as a ref ticket, i don't really deal with that sort of thing where i live.

Parts is parts. You should be able to sell it as such. I imagine title would be irreparably branded.

I believe that's why y8s said to sell it to SM dudes. The shell basically has to become a track rat non registered item from this point on, unless it gets fixed back to smog/ref passing condition.

Most people i know would be getting a new donor car and swapping parts over after something like this.

I am told that the ref ticket has a bunch of extra rules attached to it. No personal experience with one, though.

I just got a emissions ticket. A week after finishing up the install of TSE kit. I was stopped on side of road on Angeles Crest highway while sitting on fender, when cop (park ranger, of all things)stopped to give me a no front license plate ticket. He immediately saw turbo through hood louvers. I got VC27156b. Non correctable. Ref stamp on back side. I will be looking at options once I return to US. Remove turbo pass ref and reinstall, or pay fine and get Nevada classic car plates. Montana plates perhaps. I only drive car to the track, mechanic, and occasional canyon run since I live 1 mile from Angeles Crest. Cop knew a **** load about cars. That did not help. And I was stupid for not having front plate. I have until September 23rd to handle it.

Hood vents seem like one of those things that I would not have on a street car in Cali. Just gives something for the cops to notice. I would also probably run a plate off to the side on the front if I was in Cali.

Ignore the ticket.


That's what I'd do.

Easy to ignore from relaxed emission states like Florida.....

Exactly

IIRC, you're still allowed to pay the ticket and close the case without going to a ref. Do that.

That seems seems to be an option in the past. Not anymore. September 23rd court date. I will find out the outcome
