#235315 Get the car bar'd and if any of ur bolt on have carb sticker you should be good.. Unless you can get somebody to hook ur smog test. Like lets say have some one else car be the smog tesg donor but have all ur info in the comp.

#235435 A way to cheat is to register your car in Grays Harbor or Thruston County. You dont need to get your car tested for emissions.

If you have family that lives in those areas register your car to their home and your set.
