Going off of the topic... Can a cop make you pop...
So i guess i totally never thought about this, but would soing a 3sgte swap into a 94-95 celi be illegal? I say 94-95 because of smog regulations and OBDII, but aside from worrying about emissions... Would it be illegal to have a celi with a 3sgte in there? Assuming that you didnt do anything really crazy with... Same questions goes for 96-99 celi's? Please just facts or good links to helpfull sites. -------------------- 1 JL 1,000/1v2

illegal? yes, in any instance b/c the 3sgte never came in the 6th gen celica in the states. So if the police found out you had an illegal engine under you're hood, you could get in trouble. As far as making you pop you're hood (for a regular trasffic stop I am guessing) not sure, but I doubt it. You don't normally hear of people being pulled over and the cop asking you to open thier hood. Unless they have cause to search you're car. Definately for the smog test though, you will want a back up 5s or 7a, or just register you're car in an area where there are no smog regulations.
