I think you just need to get a shop or someone to sign off that the parts were uninstalled...I've heard people get out of uninstalling their go fast parts before...such as exhausts when a cop gives you a modified exhaust ticket...you just have to show something saying you got rid of it...doesn't mean you really have to...as far as the smog thing...sound like you are pretty beat...throw the guy 50 bones and tell him to give you the thumbs up...that's what'd I'd do...emissions/inspection people are usually pretty cool

what he said. I live in ny. It's now where near as bad as it is in CA but they keep saying obd2! They give us loud exhaust tickets all we have to do is go to a garage thats cool and get a statement or even a dealership thats cool get a statement and then present that to the judge or your lawyer a lil bit of cash and that should be it.

that is definately NOT an RS, especially it being an 03 in CA, power everything, and a wing. If you have black door handles then maybe (unless you have a black evo). Think someone lied to you or you heard wrong. anywho, sucks about the whole smog thing and that you JUST bought your car. Good luck

the pig took a picture of my intake and bov with a digital camera and put a stupid sticker on the back of the ticket with a number to call and to make an appointment, he told me i cant just get it signed off by ne1........ im not exactly nervous cuz i'v been pulled ov many times for no reason, being that my last car was moded, jus never had a ticket like this

also, kinda off topic, what do u guys this about cold air intake?

Sorry, sounds like you should've studied more up on the car before purchasing it. Also sounds like the seller could've told you anything, and you would've gone along with it.
How exactly is the intake and BOV illegal? Maybe not having a CAT or having a particular manifold, but I'm in aww about that one.

Regardless, situation does suck. I'd take that Injen hook up if it's good. However, get more info from the seller on what exactly the car does have! Good luck!
