there's no need to sell your car cause you got a refree ticket
even if you sell your car the new owner has to deal with your refree ticket then and you will still have to pay a fat ass ticket then
i would rather pay a $25 fix it ticket then a $400+ ticket
Makes sense to me, Especially given how easy it is to swap engines in our EG's.
Picking up a D15b7 and transmission can be had for less then 300, a quick trip to a junkyard will net you D Series shiftlinkage and axles for probally less then 100 bucks.
Swap it in and get your sticker then swap in whatever other engine you had in. As long as its a D Series, B Series or H Series it will be rather easy. K or J Series with needing to cut the old mount off and weld a new one in would make it much harder, however doable.
Another option is moving to a state with out retarded rules, Such as not being able to use a low Mileage japanse engine. or the b18 bored out b20 becouse it comes in a "Truck" (Please, Come on its a EK Civic Wagon, Pffh whatev).
A third and MUCH CRAZIER option also exists.
Buy aftermarket parts that have the CARB Approved and have the CARB Stickers on them, Also keeping a folder of purchases such as engine swaps to prove your legal. Crazy option isn't it?
