i think it's gonna take alot of work, esp if you're going to be driving it in Cali. I'm sure if you search around, you can find a list of things to change, but personally i think it's easier to a) sell the car, or b) bring it over and don't drive it on public roads, aka make it into a track bitch or a show car. but hey, if u love your car, you love your car.

I had to put $1100 into my engine (JDM b16a) to pass emissions in Tennessee.
