Default Virginia Speak Up...

Hey everyone,as some of you might know im moving to VA from CA coming this June. I got a couple questions,
Is it required to smog your vehicle out there?

Can you supercharge or turbocharge legally?

Anything else I might need to know when I get out there?

And lastly who lives near Woodbridge?

You do have to get emissions done but as long as you have an OBD II I think they only plug into the port inside the car. So if no CEL's show up you'll pass no problem.

I never have problems with cops on how low my car is (I am VERY VERY LOW) as for tint it has to be 35% on sides and no tint on front.

Since when? I wouldn't want to get caught in VA for speeding or doing anything stupid, however both VA and Maryland should be a 1 on a 1 out of 10 scale VS CA...

VA has PITA yearly inspections, however tons of the shops will sign off with ease.

MD has 1 inspection when you first tag a car, after that you never have to get it inspected, however there's smog test every 2 years. But, even that isn't that hard to pass if you run a tunable ECU. and some form of cats.
