Default SPCNS is still an option

Including myself and others that own or have owned SPCNS/*YR0000 titled cars with older engine blocks (non-SB100) did not have to be smogged every other year during ownership. However, of those cars that were sold since they did have to be smogged at time of sale/transfer. Smog was based on the year of the block. This is how we all did it before SB100 came out.

Unless the DMV vehicle code book/law has changed recently, If you can tune it yourself and get it to pass smog (tailpipe test) with an older engine block, I believe this is still an alternative to SB100. For those buying new engines, this could be challenging unless you have all the the right equipment on there...

Good Luck.
