I know that engine swaps that are legal in CA are to come from the same make and model either from the same year or newer but does that pertain to engines that were only available in CA or US?

i.e. s50b30(US) vs s50b32(Euro)

I guess I am basically asking is it Cali legal to swap a s50b32 into our e30s?

it is not, donor engine has to be from a car that was sold in Cali.

[Cabriolet]

the s50b32 was never allowed in the US there for you cant run it here. esp in CA where we have smog tests.

[Thizzelle]

unless you swap in original engine for smog then swap out for the next 2 years LOL and keep repeating it

Guys quick! 1991 318is with 140k mileage.

What Mobil 1 engine oil type should i use? I was thinking 10w-40 but I can't find it!

Any specific power steering Fluid as well?

So I quit smoking today.

Withdrawal sucks but the habit was starting to make me feel very unhealthy.

Those of you who don't smoke- don't start.

Congrats!
Never took to the cigs myself.

I smoke primarily Premium Cigars so I'm a non-inhaler and enjoy the ritual and the journey. Its quite relaxing and contemplative.

Smoking cigarettes is a puff , puff, puff game to inject as much addictive nicotine into the blood stream as possible. I would not smoke sub par tobacco that has tons of additives creating god knows what in terms of smoke content. Pure tobacco leaf from boutique crops is an entirely different animal!

A nice rested stick from an ISOM is where its at!



Medium Body Boutique Nicuraguan or Dominican Puro's are my everyday.

You can run it all day long in Nevada in a County that does not have smog requirements. In those counties there is no detailed inspection of engine just a look over it and then they check to make sure the VIN lines up on the locations it should be posted on the car. NO SMOG INSPECTIONS is where its at! Ive got all my vehicles registered in NV. Damn you can run an out of hood blower all day long and nobody gives a shite. Its the old west just over the Cali /NV border baby!
