the emission test out there isn't what kills these FI guys..its the visual inspection.

A lot of cars can pass with mods, but the guy smogging it will not pass due to visual alone.

Hel|, people are getting busted for having a simple non-CARB intake, let alone a turbo/supercharger kit

No Gil didn't end up getting the car. The guy wanted too much. My cousin knows the guy and tried to get a better price , but the guy wouldn't drop the price. Still want to go FI tho.

There getting harder and harder to come by. Might have to try and catch a RMM S/C kit or a FI GS in the classifieds.

Yes I have been looking in the classifieds. I spoke to a guy that makes them for 2nd gen gs. I'm most likely going to buy one, just that it would be nice to find a car that has FI and lots of mods already.

yeah the only thing about buying a modded car is you have to do tons of research i.e. where the installs were done, how they were installed. i bought a teggy that was modified and had a ball trying to figure out wiring issues and such. just make sure the parts and install are of good quality and the installer is a reputable one. plus, remember good things come to those who wait.
