    Attention California VX's

    Just informed from a smog station who is also a cert station where I am... If you are going in for a SMOG (probably just a STAR SMOG) you will NEED to have locking front hub's.. California updated their database to show that we are a 4WD car but can disengage the front... so the rules require them to use a rear wheel dyno on our car... Just letting everyone know.. This is new just THIS YEAR!

    Hope this helps everyone!

    UPDATE:

    So if you have the problem stated above, you must take your car to a State Ref Station (normally at a local college) From there they will take a long hard look at your car to determine that YES INDEED you cannot disable the TOD system. Than they will sniffer your car and when/if it passes you are in the clear.. They do not charge for smogging, but charge 9 dollars for the cert.

    Our local ref said he would tell the state that their information about the car was wrong but he said that smog shops don't update their manual's often so we will probably have to go to the ref from now on to get the car smogged.. I guess it's ok, it ends up saving 50+ dollars in my area..
