Hi Jon, Thanks for this response. This is half the problem though... one of our interested folks in CA contacted BAR and they said that you have to have the TRANSMISSION from the vehicle as well... which is odd since I swear I;ve seen conversions with BAR stickers on them. In any case, we are looking for a CARB EO number so that customers won't have to fight with a BAR ref and spend an entire day getting inspected(which I hear can be the case if the ref had a fight with his wife). In any case, I believe we should be able to obtain the EO once we have the resrouces to do so. We need to get a few more of the conversions on the road and then bring a Zetec caravan to CA for your guys out there, and to stop by the various boards in person so they can't dodge our phone calls(apparently they only want to talk if I say I have about $10,000 ready right now to spend on the process). In any case, we were hoping that we could pull a CA Zetec list togther, and maybe help with some of the information gathering to speed things along. Thanks, Jim Akiba
