Anyone have any hookups?

If it has been labled a gross polluter, then you will have to go to a test only station - can't help you there but good luck (and an envelope with $20 bills goes a long ways).
Just FYI - the seller has to smog it not the buyer

If the RX7 is/was registered here in California legally then the owner would have had gone to a referee station (which I've heard is way harder to pass than a test only or regular smog place) before the DMV would declare it drivable again. But on the other hand if it was registered as a non-op (non operational) vehicle then that's a can of worms you might not want to open up. Get some more details for us and we can help you out more man. Thanks.
