Did they get you as you left the show or as you got there....I am guessing it wasn't while you were actually at the show itself?
At the entrance right after I paid for parking

You'll then take all the paper work he gives you to court and pay all the fees. Make your appointment with the Ref. ASAP. There is usually a waiting list as there are only two in all of California, one north and one south.

I think he charges you something like $50 and then court fees will probably be a couple hundred. I believe someone told me its around $410 once you're all done with the process.

If the officer didn't tell you, your vehicle is deemed ILLEGAL for the streets. If you get caught again before seeing the state ref, they can impound the vehicle and add an additional charge. Even with yours being legal, it'll be up to the next officer to take the car or not.

Sorry to hear about all the trouble bud,

May I ask what do you do for living? That's an interesting information.

That is just ridiculous, one reason why I am so afriad to enter anymore, they either get you as you enter or wait for you outside.

Just wait for the notice in the mail and proceed from there, in the meantime get that CARB sticker for the intake.

I thought all state ref. stations were closed so I have no idea how this can be checked by them?

Here's a good reason to stay away from those big shows like HIN. It's an
opportunity for the state to make some extra cash from those of us that
enjoy modding our cars. By the way all State Referees were closed over a
month ago, call and ask them what the solution is. Make sure you get the
sticker for your intake, mine is in the glove box!

Thank you Gary - I did immediately call the number on the back and an automated message said "due to California's budget crisis/deficit [something along those lines] we are currently closed". So... I'm feeling pretty fvcked. And if the intake is CARB legal, what right do they have to fine me for it?

And in the meantime, I need my car to go to work. Without it, I'm even more screwed, since it takes 2 hours one way to get to work on public transportation vs my current 25-30 minutes each way.

scroll down and 26101VC is mentioned.. apparently it's a no biggie just replace it with oem i guess

I think this is another good read about contesting your citation.. even though it's a different violation from urs i think it's worth the read.. some of the info might be really useful for u..

Hoo-fvcking-ray! So now I'm out untold hours and $$$ for the citations, $41.50 for registering for HIN and $8 for parking. Absolutely fan-freakin'-tastic...

I've never been ticketed before so I have no idea what the procedure for this kind of stuff is, especially since it's not in San Francisco. Everybody's experience and advice will be greatly appreciated.
no we took you off cause you said you wernt going.

I hope gate 8 is the parking lot. If so, it's private property and you can say you were not on public streets. He shouldn't have ticketed you.

Swap out the intake with the OEM part until you get the CARB sticker, at least that will help you if you get pulled over again.

Good luck!
