Hey everyone,

havent had a formal intro althought i been posting in the "sightings" topic...my name is ryan...had the VIII for about 3 weeks and loving it...been browsing for a few months before the purchase and it helped me out alot.

anyway, i just got a citation requiring me to go to a state ref for my Talon..i was wondering if you guys had any recommendations for where i should go (any place nicer, more lienient (sp)) that would be a big help...or how i should go about this period

Thanks! ryan

from my friends experience (honda guys with engine swaps, loud exhaust, no cat, etc....) state ref is a b!tch. Pretty much, they scrutnize every little thing, so best bet is to change car back to stock before you go meet with these people. Good luck dude, its a pain in the arse process.

I believe there is one in San Jose but not sure if it is still there. They were cool about engine swaps etc. as long as you have the paper. Question.......what is the reason for going to the ref. (not trying to be nosey)

you will need to put everything back to stock in order to pass state ref's strict emission tests (both visual and sniffer). The one I went to was in Fremont near Mission/Milpitas that area. Its right behind Sequoia.
