When registering these cars in Cali, following CARB requirements through the DMV is pointless. The easiest drill for most is to deal with the crazy January 2 "run for the sequence numbers" and grab one of the 500 that go in 3-4 hours. Or you can take your time and seek a comparable, existing, SB-100 compliant car that someone is trying to sell. When I brought my car into the state almost 3 years ago it wasn't as bad. Now it's downright ugly and if you're not camping out at the DMV on New Year's night, you are essentially hosed. Good luck on your purchase...sounds like you are attempting to assemble one heck of a nice car.
