Regarding MD inspection....

My time's running out to get my 240SX inspected, and i'm tired of dropping cash on retarded inspection guys that are just looking to take my money...



Anybody know a decent place to go that won't fail me on first sign of legal modifications?

umm, the exxon near my dad's house is pretty cool, my car was slightly modified when I got it inspected... (he didn't say anything about my abs being overriden...) you should pm sung (sgof) and ask him if his friend's shop can do inspections.

If you need info like that just check out Crutchfield. Their site and catalogs list speaker and head unit dimensions for almost every vehicle made.

How much for the GXL Tofu?
I have friends lookin at cars.

Tofuball

For the GXL, I either want a nother daily driver car in trade, or $4500 (it comes with the parts car and a warentee)

My friend's shop does not do inspections. However, BWI Autotech in catonsville, MD is where I always take my car to. They are very familiar with what mods are what, etc. They actually raced (road racing) an FD back in the days (I'm talking early 90's). Amazing car, considering the fact that back in 1995, it was pulling 11.5's in the 1/4 and thats not even what it was built for. It's neat looking through the engine bay at '1995 technology', lol.

Anywho. They are very strict and will look over your car in terms of whats on the list. But, like I said, if they see a legal substition, they understand it.

A couple of the mechanics there are 240sx owners as well...

if anyone knows a way that I can get through emissions without bringing my car anywhere pm me, cause if I don't get it done by the 4th I'm going to get my registration suspended.... and my car isn't working so I can't move it.

there are charts and what not that you can get that list those. but you forget about cutting the hole bigger to fit a diff speaker

as for power...just need to read the specs of all your equipment when planning it anyway. all of it isnt really that hard

AkumaKuruma

you tell them its down for repair? beyond that...yer towing it cuz you need that emmisions paper on record with the state.

MVA gave me an extension no problem when my truck was not running.You just have to call them and wait on hold until they decide to talk to you.

i was just asking those questions because a friend of mine works at an Audio shop and he had to read a book on all the cars and their systems.. I personally wouldnt mind working at a car audio shop but i have school during the times they are open... and get out when they are about to close.. that's why i need a grave yard shift job.. like 6pm til when ever.. if yall know any jobs hireing let me know.. I want to leave the movies... Not for good.. but where i dont have to depend much on the income..

You could work at target stocking shelves at night. it pays moderately well. but you should probably use that time to sleep.

Do you guys know anybody that would be able to swap an engine from an 82 to an 85(they are both 12a's)? I called around to some shops and the only one that would give me a quote told me $1000. I was thinking that is kinda steap. If you know anybody aim me (stinkyboards411) or PM me.

crashdummy

i wish it were that easy

krautrocket

i'm gonna run into some serious issues here soon ...

If you have an 85 GSL-SE No, that's a 13b. and it is not a direct swap, it's actually a downgrade. 1000 seems about right from a shop that has no rotary exp. Might want to check on the 1st gen forum for more info.

dscsk8er55

I know that they are both 12a's. The shop I called was Kerney in Virginia (it is in the list of NE Mechanics) and work on rotary cars. I was just seeing if you guys know any individuals that would be willing to do it. I would do it myself but I live in an apartment.
