Nah, this new law means nothing for me so no need to dig in further. I will just carry on as is and watch a bunch of other people freak out haha.

 

Same though I do need to find a stock ROM in case I sell the car to someone in CA.

 

How can you not find a stock OEM Evo 9 ROM at this point?

I have them on my server that has been linked like a billion times on this site alone.

Gracias! I haven't been actively looking until lately, and no way I'd remember a thread that I read who knows how long ago. My memory ain't that great.

So I got hit up after smog checking the car in January of 2020. No notice in the mail (yet) but running the VIN on BAR's website says the car has been flagged for state ref. Been scanning the various threads on here and elsewhere. I had assumed if I had the original factory software map/tune/ROM, all I needed to do to be in compliance is re-flash the ECU with that, (along with changing what ever supported mods), and I would be got to go. But sounds like that wont work now...?

I have to get this figured out in the next few months as come January 2022, I'll have a date with the state ref to inspect the car.

**edited, should be January 2022, not 2021 **

 

100% OEM ROM flash will reset your CVN to pass.

 

..just hope you have your immobilizer code written down somewhere, if it's disabled.

 

I tuned his car like 13 years ago, I don't pull that BS.

 

Which BS?

my car was tuned so long ago, I don't think I could ever track down my mobilizer code.
😔

 

I don’t disable the immobilizer. There is no reason to.

 

You probably start with that person's original tune. Not some random tune that "should be close" to start off with like most bigger companies would do to save time. Then they are too lazy to change the code to the original. Faster just to turn it of, right?

 

I followed the breadcrumb trail, and it led to freedom. Right out of the bull**** state of Commiefailnya.

 

No, I start with a base map as well. The immobilizer code is a simple 2 sec copy and paste.

 

Dont get too comfy, the EPA is coming for Redneckistan too.

 

Right after the Delta variant has its way with them.
