If you do carry an AP with you, be sure to conceal it somewhere. When I was busted with a state ref ticket, the cop noticed my AP in my glovebox when I grabbed my papers.

That said, I don't think switching the map would help anyway. Only a catted downpipe would save you.

 

I would crack up if I saw a bunch of CARB peeps on the side of the road rapping. WHUT UP YO!!!!!

 

Wuzgood with the scoop on ya hood? Put that cat back on: We're tryin' ta save the woods!

 

If my DD needed a smog and this optional smog was free I'd do it then no need to pay for smog. Doubt it works that way though.

 

how ouwld an E85 setup do? i mean its cleaner i imagine....

 

Good question, maybe one of the local tuners can chime in?

 

E85 stinks like ***. They would think I'm tuning a type of race gas

 

Its optional due to CA state law. If you are flagged over, politely do so. Next wait tell approached and asked if you will participate. Your answer should be...

"With all respect officer, I do not at this time wish to participate, nor do I consent to a search of my person or vehicle."

BE POLITE AT ALL TIMES, but do not talk, do not answer questions, and no not consent to anything. If you are arrested keep your mouth shut, if they ask again to search be polite but firm that you do not consent.

 

A random 45 year old woman at the airport put me onto this site.
She knew zip about cars, but carb is so corrupt even she knew all about it and worked against them politically on a small level.

Given my car tax/dmv fee's relative to the quality of the roads, I'll do whatever the **** I WANT!

ROLLING DYNO QUESTION- It's not a like a dui check point where it will seem sketchy if I turn away right?

 

i thought that by signing your regitration every year you "comply" to searches...not too sure though

 

I'm all for fixing CARB. Most of the policies make absolutely no sense. Like the 5 year smog rule for new cars that someone mentioned versus the smog laws for an old Justy...or the aircraft pollution comparison, etc.

However, when you get deep into the KillCARB site there are links that barely hold credibility at all. I'll get rid of CARB because of its BS laws and corruption, but not because some con-artist journalist calls himself a scientist or expert and says his friend invented green peace in 88 (16 or 17 years after it was actually founded) LOL.

Seems like half the site is just a republican propaganda fueled "climate change is a conspiracy" site. Whether it is or not, use credible sources dangit.

Always saddens me when good intentioned movements are hindered by those who have to bring other political issues into the mix and use any outlet they can find as a personal soap box. Ruins it for the rest of us (Unrelated bad info can easily be attacked by CARB and then re-associated with the site - reducing the effectiveness of the site itself).

(I did know the original post was a joke. Not trying to argue with anyone lol. Just wanted to comment on the site itself, because some of these CARB laws are getting a little out of hand.)

 

E85 smells fine once the car has warmed up. I passed a pretest with NO CAT and E85 on the EVO

 

I don't have a problem with the principle of smogging vehicles, what I have a problem with is the visual check. If my car runs clean enough to pass the sniff portion of the test, that should be all that counts. Who cares if a car has an aftermarket intake that doesnt say carb on it! Keep the hood shut, test the tailpipe and either pass me or fail me according to what my exhaust levels are.

 

yeah, but could you mount a 105mm howizter in your justy????

i think not...

i rest my case.

 

It's all about getting $$$ for our broke a** state!
