I just can't decide what to do. The car has under 18k on it orig miles. It has some nice choice mods like ohlins, x brace, every other nice chassis brace, cf driveshaft, a nice ewg kit, the pink control arms lateral links etc...jpm coachworks wheel etc. It's really just been being stored due to health issues the past years.
Should I try and return it to stock and sell some of these parts off or should I try and sell as is non op (doesn't require smog) or out of state? I am basically stuck and overwhelmed here. I can't figure out what makes the most sense and make a choice. Any thoughts / advice are welcome.

Well to be smogable I guess stock uppipe and injectors and turbo, also has the changed maf location and a fat ic but I'm not sure if those would really keep it from passing emissions. I assume other than that it could run on a stock map to pass. I thought about listing as a non op on bat but they said they probably wouldn't accept it as non op. I'm still searching for a smog but don't think it will happen. Struggling to make a decision on whats the best course of action here. I guess I could try listing on ebay

It will pass with a STI uppipe, but not others. IC could be an issue now, depending on the place. My buddy was failed for a STI TIMC with an OEM BPV on my old FXT which had passed with it on there for years, despite it being an OEM part. He went to a different shop and they didn't question it.

Did this thread die? I just came back here after I don't know how many years to get some recommendations on shops in the South Bay. Nothing fancy, just for regular service/brake work on an ancient stock Forester.

Not a lot of activity here still. People pop in. Shops are the usual suspects, just depends on what you need. RBMS in Hayward, Mann Engineering in Santa Clara, AHQ in Mountain View. Garage One in SJ is good for general maint.
