Back in the Game
I haven't posted much about my car over here, it's been in storage since I moved last year. I was planning to ship it out here to CA in September, but some stuff changed and I will be shipping it out here sooner.
I have been using my Acura for track events out here and can't wait to get the 951 out on the track. Here's a picture from before I moved. More to come... |

Are you registering it in CA? If so, good luck!

Dude, make sure you check on the impact of your roll cage on the CA registration.. IIRC you have a full cage in there right?

Good call. I didn't think about that. Yeah, it's a full cage. I'll have to ask around at the track. There are guys out here with full cages in registered cars, so there must be some way to make it happen. Keep your laws off my car!

Looks great! I love the wheel color. It matches your car color very well!

I don't know that the cage will cause you any trouble, I'd focus my worry on emissions.

But it's getting worse out there, not better. They changed the catalytic converter laws in 2009. You can no longer install an aftermarket cat based on engine size and GVW. They HAVE to have an ARB-EO number and it has to match what they say is legal. They will fail you for no ARB-EO number or if it isn't the right code for your car. So instead of being able to buy a $100 high-flow universal cat, you now have to buy a $500 "approved" universal cat. Ask around. There are enthusiast friendly inspection stations. But if you get pulled over and the cop wants to inspect, he can yank your chain too. |

It won't be the end of the world if I can't register the car, it is primarily for track use. |
