So i live jncali and when i got my smog, there was a note saying that the DMV blocked registration renewal. However i said fuck it and tried to register it anyways. Turns out that the little note on the smog doesnt actually prevent renewal of registration! So lucky for me, my FRS is now registered and legal. Thank you for the help
. If my engine does blow from the valve spring defect (Which ive heard is actually quite rare, correct me if im wrong), ill just go for an iag short block or something of the sort!
