there are tons of honda tuner/enthusiasts in california with fast hondas, dood where do you think professional import drag racing started... west coast.

smog is not the end of the world, or the end of tuning hondas in cali atleast. i have a pretty decent nitrous setup on my engine, friend has a jdm b16 sir2 in a hatch, another friend has a jdm 3sgte turbo motor in his mr2, another has a sr20det in a 240, another has a jdm h22 in a hatch, smog is not stopping us. you just need to know people. im pretty sure if you ask ppl on this board in your area where they get their swapped cars passed in your area someone will tell you. its only every 2 yrs anyways.
