I'm sure they'd still give citations... they probably have no idea that you CAN'T get your car reffed..

^^^ Exactly!

This isn’t really a good thing... no ref, means you won’t be able to contest... CARB is by no means getting more lenient - in fact there are things going on right now that are WAY more stringent.

They are trying to pass some MAJOR regulations in the transportation industry and its going to trickle down to 4 wheel vehicles... the Feds are putting pressure an manufactures to create clean burning vehicles...

Don’t be fooled into thinking thing are getting better (for us modders)... its not going to get easier at all.

Are our mods worth the headaches....?

When the CHP can stop you for suspicion of illegal mods I don't see it getting
any better of any of us! This means any time day or night we could get
stopped just because the way our cars look/sound....that sucks!

The citations will still count, the budget hasn't been signed.....this just means these programs are suspended until Arnold signs the budget, but they will still continue on with all citations and programs....

Good news is - if you know transportation law, most moving violations can be contested!

There are soooo many variables to every citation... I've had people ask me for a quick evaluation and "easy out"... obviously its not that easy... but if you understand the "game" that it truly is, you can win.

I'm undefeated. Stated with confidence, because its no bluff and I've handed officers' @ss' to them in court.

As it pertains to “Smog Check”… I haven’t tackled that one yet with this car... However, I truly believe it’s a losing battle. There really isn’t any defense. Unless its in favor of EPA and/or some sort of clean air act... or specific loopholes (which will remain in hip pocket).

if it’s a correctable violation - there are no worries...

What is the vehicle code?

*Not specific to you, but I crack up when people say I got a ticket for "rolling stop" or CA stop" or a "fixit ticket"...

There isn’t any such thing it the CCR or CFR... No vehicle code identifies those things.

This is why it is paramount to understand the actual violation code written on the citation. It means EVERYTHING!

Dam CHP with nothing better to do then to camp and ninja a group of Gs.

i was happy at first but after doing some reaserch and talked to my cousin (sheriff) he said it is only temp and will be back and in full force. in the mean time tickets will continue and since the ref is not there to mediate we cannot contest. when they do come back it will be buisness as usuall. as for one of the previous post yes it will get harder and harder for us to mod but at one point in the WAY distance future we will be doing hydrogen swaps and modding those motors ORRRRRRRRRR................. doing full electuical swaps and of coarse modding those. either way we will still mod. As long as there are cars on the road we will mod the cars. so what if the powerplant is ran by hydrogen,eletric or even mold!
