BIG SHMILE! BIG SHMILE!

 

[Supra_Z]

yea pretty much if you do something to piss a cop off your car is illegal here. And last time i checked your car has to be 30 years old then you can do whatever you want to it and it will be smog exmept.

 

[PROJECT N00b]

lets all buy 2000GT's...if you can find em...hehe

i think you're talking about the rear euro lights. dunno exactly what they do.. only came on euro cars.

Yeah, they're called number plate lights - so its easier for Coppers, Speed Cameras and Congestion Charging Camera's to read your number plate in the dark. They only come on when the side lights are on - not like daytime running lights (which suck) :naughty:

theres not to many illegal part in canada. but they did make a statment that the are crushing all cars caught street racing it was cool the crushed to civics on national television with a bull dozer

 

[encomiast]

ive seen someone on here that has that, they said it only goes on when they have the fog lights on...

As Brewster already said, that sounds like the Euro rear fog lights, there is an extra switch to turn them on:

(the one on the right is not supposed to be lit because it's fake - no wiring and no socket in there)

california rolled out something else, i think everyone should be worried about:


REMOTE SMOG SENSING

Remote smog sensors are appearing along California roadsides to measure emissions from cars as they drive by. The entire process takes about three seconds.

(1) An infrared beam shot across the highway picks up the contents of a car's exhaust. A calibrator and computer on the other side of the road screen and measure the emissions.

(2) At the same time, a camera snaps a pictire of the vehicle's license plate. The state uses that in information to find and notify the vehicle's owner if emissions are too high.


So basically you could get a ticket in the mail saying your car is emitting too much smog and that you need to get it retested!

Texas does something similar. They have a big white unmarked van they put on the side of the road, usually @ an on-ramp to the freeway so you`re a "captive audience"! It has the little sensor and camera set up beside it. Pretty much a joke. I just avoid it. as for passing emissions here, it helps to have friends who are inspectors.:naughty:

 

[PROJECT N00b]

hehe, a family friend of ours does the smog at 76.

Illegal

folks not sure what all you guys in the US are talking about. But if you have removed EGR or Catalyst you are infact illegal but you are illegal at a FEDERAL level. What this means is that you can get infact ticketed if they want to, to the tune of $10,000. Federal law overides state city, municipal and local laws.

And the way things are going it WILL be a matter of time before we see that start to happen EVERYWHERE.

No emissions in Rainy South Florida.

Yeah i found that out the hard way after i bought a bulb for it :3d_frown:

There is a really big difference in no smog law, and no enforcement of a law. All states have "smog laws".

 

[Silvermk2]

....And for those of us in CA only another 5-9 years before they become "Classics" and dont have to meet any requirements.

Not gonna happen. The smog free year is frozen at 1975 and earlier in CA now. They changed the rolling 30 year exemption about a year ago.

some of the dumb laws around here are a small price to pay in the big picture of why I like CA. I'm close to everything. The beach. Hollywood. Mexico(fun parties). San Diego (one of the best parts of socal). And I live in a small suburban city where I don't have to deal with traffic or any of the other cons about the big city.

Anyway, I drive my car everyday. I don't get scared when I see cops.
