To the best of my knowledge, none of the F1's were properly certified to CA standards. The cars built after 1/1/1996 would require OBDII, a...
Guess you better crawl back in your hole. I know Bryan and worked with him on importing a car and will pass this along (in case he hasn't seen...
THere should not be a problem having Porsche do this. Not sure of the cost as it has been a few years since I had this upgrade performed. I am...
So is my previous statement potentially correct then? sort of. 959s built in 1987/88 can enter the US now with only a letter from EPA...
With EPA it is 21 years and then cars are exempt. It starts at Jan 1 of the 21 year since some cars are built on a calendar year, not build year...
I'm not aware of anything new that has replaced the design concept used by the 959. The Michelin's used on the Honda are the same carryover...

There are no labs in CA that can certify a gray market car to CA regulations. Call ARB. I did. YOu lost me a while ago.
G&K is not approved by ARB. Checked with ARB two days ago. Neither is NCDL. Currently there are no labs in CA certified to approve to CA regs....
I need an attorney who has experience with dealing with EPA and DOT on gray market cars that have not been converted properly. This is not an...
Need recommendations for a CA licensed attorney who can help me get my gray market car released.
