Didnt think you could run an aftermarket turbo kit legally. I also had no idea about the CARB sticker BS in Cali...learning all the time

[325ix]

In Cali you can't. I don't think you can technically in CO either. I was looking into it, even aftermarket suspension is illegal unless it is just a heavy duty shock.

2k is way too much, but can be a fun project for the right price

^Someone in that area bought a car that fits that description (mtech 2 vert, hit in front, white on white), fixed it, and it's now for sale. I'm not suggesting in any way that it's the same car, but that's one hell of a coincidence for such a rare e30.

thats an mtech 2 appearance vert. if it has a straight frame i would pay double his asking price. its technically not a "real" mtech car, but still rare. it sounds like the owner doesnt know what he has.

Yeah I know that guy. Cool car, the real deal, but it needs tlc. I thought about it. If I wasn't so dead set on an e10, it would be in my driveway.

In Cali you can't. I don't think you can technically in CO either. I was looking into it, even aftermarket suspension is illegal unless it is just a heavy duty shock.

Relating to CA laws- You can, you just need a C.A.R.B. sticker on EVERYTHING (I believe) for it to be legal. And of course the smog numbers need to be clean.

As for suspension- it's not physically the components that are illegal i.e. No "C.A.R.B." sticker or anything of the sort is needed, because suspension has nothing to do with California's Air Resources Board. However there are hidden regulations most people don't know.

Lifted trucks are limited to a 27in-30in (based on your GVWR) frame height. Basically it's the vertical distance between the ground and the lowest part of your frame- if you exceed it, it's illegal. They can also get you for shit like not having mud flaps, etc. But with anything, there can be quick fixes.


Lowered cars also fall into this category. It's not that the suspension is illegal- it's the result of it being lower than what the manufacturer intended, therefore it can be considered unsafe for normal driving conditions.

Side note: About a week ago I was cited for my "failure to obey a traffic sign" IN my school parking lot. A vehicle is not supposed to enter the parking lot what-so-ever if the light is red (Normally you can come to a complete stop, make sure it's safe, and make a right turn.) but I made the turn anyways thinking I could save some time parking. I saw the officer start up his motorcycle (in the school parking lot) immediately- however I had to cross a speed bump to get to him. Instead of being nonchalant and going straight over it...putting my lip, splitter, oil pan and exhaust at risk, I always go sideways to gain leverage. I did just that, and was questioned why; I simply responded "These speed bumps seem to be particularly harsh in comparison to others in town, I didn't want to risk damaging anything underneath." He then informed me after taking a look under my car that absolutely nothing can hang lower than the lower lip of your rim (exhaust, front lips, body kits, etc.) otherwise it can be considered illegal. He was cool though, wrote me the ticket I deserved and said "Being a car enthusiast I'll let the height issue slide, but this could cause you a real headache with another officer."

What are those headlights? Ugly rims too.
