no adjustable timing fuck i hope they dont find my vtec

3/13/2006 10:59:08 PM

haha, yeah i saw that earlier today. i can't imagine that will really hold up in court, especially for parts that a CARB legal. case in point: the msd box in that vid.

3/13/2006 11:05:40 PM

that's downright pathetic.

3/13/2006 11:09:00 PM

There are ways to hide your shit. If you know the law's against you and you either blatantly do shit like that to your car or don't come up with really good ways of concealing what you've had done, then you deserve to have your car impounded and your asshole pounded in jail.

We can sit here and argue about how we think that the laws are unfair or unconstitutional and all that jazz, but it's a waste of time and a waste of breath (or fingers if you're typing).

CARB does exist for a reason...everybody in CA would probably be breathing brown air if CARB didn't exist...at least around LA and whatnot. There are far worse places in the world to be modifying cars.

I saw that earlier today as well. It is a bunch of horse shit. I can't believe they would actually arrest you for not opening your hood. Can they even legaly make you open it?

3/13/2006 11:10:04 PM

^i imagine it takes probable cause just like any other search. as the video shows, that's likely openly visible things like exhaust, etc.

3/13/2006 11:14:24 PM

Why they got a fat cop wearin' plain clothes driving that ricer shitbox?

They need to get some rookie of latino descent to make it more realistic.

I wouldn't drive that car to a nigger funeral

By that time they already have the court costs and impound fees racked up

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that these laws are put in place more to make money than stop street racing.

they are fix it tickets. everyone ive ever met from cali says you just pay them off as you get them, or you never pay them. depends on how badass you are.

3/13/2006 11:42:08 PM

officer: do you know why i pulled you? because your car is blue. sky mother fucking blue.

3/13/2006 11:45:57 PM

Those msd boxes have an exemption number and are CARB approved. That was a pretty cheesy video too.

3/14/2006 1:24:15 AM

^It is illegal because a cop points at it and says "That's illegal." Didn't you see the video? Point at something, declare that it is illegal, write ticket.

3/14/2006 3:07:41 AM

What makes those things illegal? I mean the Nitrous is obvious but why the others?

3/14/2006 6:58:27 AM

If a part doesn't have CARB approval, it is technically illegal. If it is tested and results in no change in emissions output, it is issued an executive order number that makes it CARB legal.

3/14/2006 8:17:03 AM

why don't they go after the merchants that sell this shit rather than the "users".

3/14/2006 9:39:25 AM

well, it doesn't have to be CARB approved in the other 49 states

3/14/2006 9:52:45 AM

that is stupid. who the fuck cares if he is a pussy ricer?

yo duke ill be in baltimore for st pattys this year. savanah is a balst for it

3/14/2006 12:50:29 PM

California sucks.

3/14/2006 1:56:03 PM

The rest of the stuff I could care less about, but I wish they would crack down on the improper lights around here.

http://www.screenlights.com/ I'm waiting for these to become popular. A theives wet dream.

3/14/2006 2:33:28 PM

kinda reminds me of that article from a wihle ago saying that if a car has a strut tower bar, then the owner is probably a street racer hehe.

most of these things are sold with "not legal for sale or use on pollution controlled motor vehicles" in small print at the bottom of the page. It's still ridiculous that something as simple as an ignition coil has to be tested to see if it affects emissions.
