Don't see any reason why it wouldn't pass emissions. Its just a tad loud, so with a resonator you should be fine.

do you have to report that there is a s52 rather than a m20?

This car was for sale a while ago if i am not mistaken.
Nice car none-the-less.

Was it bought a while back or did he hold onto it?

Any rust on the car at all? What issues does the car have.
