California engine swaps the cops can’t touch | MODIFIED

From the creator

In this episode of MODIFIED, Matt Farah explores the world of California (i.e., CARB) legal engine swaps and what they entail. Can you truly have your mods and breathe easy, too? Matt takes a look at two examples: a BMW E36 M3 with an S54 engine and, of course, an LS-swapped MX-5 Miata. --- Episode chapters: 00:00 Introduction 00:29 BMW E36… or is it? 01:22 What is CARB? 01:59 BMW specialists Performance Technic 02:30 CARB certification how-to’s 02:54 E36 M3 meets S54 04:28 US-spec to Euro-spec 05:21 Driving impressions of E36 M3 06:54 Flyin’ LS3 Miata 08:30 Why cops can’t touch this 09:56 Li’l roadster no more 10:23 Driving impressions of LS3 Miata 12:21 Final thoughts --- Subscribe to our YouTube channel for new videos every day! http://bit.ly/HagertyYouTube Visit our website for daily automotive news, cars stories, reviews, and opinion: https://www.hagerty.com/media Stay up to date by signing up for our email newsletters here: https://www.hagerty.com/media/newsletter/ Follow us on social media: Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/Hagerty Instagram | https://instagram.com/Hagerty Twitter | https://twitter.com/Hagerty If you love cars, you belong with us.
