thanks I think that sounds like a plan.

[projectRDM]

I think it's a great idea. Whether you agree with the law or not, it is the law.

[fliprayzin240sx]

So i wonder if they caught any tuners...dont sound like it. If they had a civic in the picture, id say pwnage...

im headed that road to be a pig :]
i will stop you speeding assholes on the street whenever i see a 240sx and check under the hood for those engine swaps and then tell you to kindly rev it and let you go with a big

[Matej]

So they only stopped vehicles that looked like they won't pass the test? Wow, I wonder if they caught a lot of schoolbuses and 18-wheelers.

thats the point, its not "the Law".

its a violation of your civil rights. Just like road side sobriety checks are.

They need to have "cause" to pull you over, run your ID on the sidewalk, or search you here in the states.

SoCal is becoming more and more of a police state
and BTW, I would avoid BurBank area if you drive a tuner.

I got a ticket for modified exhaust at 8AM thursday morning on the corner of the court house. I showed the officers that I had my exhaust signed off at 3PM the previous wednesday, and they didnt care. popped the hood(its all stock SOHC), searched the car, threatened to have it taken and the engine and car vin#'s checked (after I told them the engine was a rebuild).
Then they proceeded to give me a ticket for no Tabs, (I have the red #1 paper in the window,exempting me from tabs till its finished registration), and a tint ticket.
3 violations, 2 of which i had proof they were fine right there!!
And law enforcement wonders why they put a sour taste in peoples mouth.

Probably not, being that diesel powered vehicles are smog exempt.

From what i have seen on these forums and the people i have talked to about how to get past emissions, having a tuner car with an exhaust is probable cause for a smog check.

Because a large portion of them aren't smog legal.

[Pank]

since they test on a dyno, i wonder if you could slip them a few extra bucks and have them do some test pulls and hook your wideband up.

cheap tuning ftw

[PhilVia]

GREAT!
my phobia feeling is coming back and i thought hawaii's friday night road block was bad ....

If you were to get hired, I don't think you'd want to lose your job fraudulently smogging your car. I don't think it would be worth it.

Much of the waste in educational spending occurs at the county level, not the state. Arnold can shovel money into the educational budget all he wants, but if Supervisor X decides to give himself a raise every time, the kids are still screwed.

Multiple choice tests are also a collossal waste of time, but I disgress.

smog dyno are only rated for like 100 or 200hp, not a lot. It suppose to simulate runs from certain mph (25 iirc) and test for emission. My friend owns a shop and when the govt initial smog up in norcal, we sort of put a 400hp car on it for run, burnt out the motor and call the warrenty guy for repair.

probably because his "s" key doesnt work idunno

[dirtdiggler666]

waaaaaaaaaaaay back my cousin had a civic you know the whole deal lowered rims intake ect, well we drove by one of the smog check things of coures they made him go on the rollers. we asked what the whp was and they got pissed then after he passed the smog check, my cousin popped the trunk and showed him the full catback exhaust that was going on the car the next day. but thats the only smog check thing i have seen

fuckin ass bags

[revat619]

this is such bull shit. If they're gonna do this then why do we have to have a MANDATORY smog check every 2 years. This is such a waste of tax payer money. Stop fucking with emissions stuff and get us out of debt, renovate our schools, get people off welfare. Shit.....

[OptionZero]

The article states that the CHP is stopping cars they "feel" might not pass emissions.

That is a stoppage and a search and temporary seizure and way, way too much discretion for individual officers.

Were I bar certified and a local community member, I would be inclined to challenge the legality of their scheme.
