this is just gettin' to be ****ing ridiculous.

just wait till the summertime, holy ****! i think i will be mounting my custom dual cat back in place of the muffler, and drive with the cutout open, hehe! then they can only give me a ticket for, no pcv, or egr. i wonder how much that ticket is.

Taner,

The egr is easy enough to fake,but why no PCV system?

Taner its $300.00 for the first violation,plus $150.00 for every other violation found on the car.

Example: No cats= $300.00
no EGR+ $150.00
no PCV +$150.00
no A.I.R.+$150.00
Equals no mod money!

Some times if they are nice(not often) they issue a repair order and if you fix it they re-inspect and if everything is in order they let you go.
Both situations happened to friends of mine.

Well, I am no Canadian, but what I want to know is, how is it that the pigs, errr, cops I mean, are qualified to look under the hood and identify anything.

95z-28,


the inspectors are licensed mechanics

i guess iw as lucky when i got the no cat ticket last year. when he popped my hood i am sure it brought a smile to his face. he said he could have taken my car off of the road right then and there due to the number of infractions, lmao!!!!! either way i got jagged for the cats.

transamtom,,
so i am guess i am lucky he merely gave me a tciket for no cats. so there aren't any further repercussions????? or are there????
i haven't gotten any mail or further correspondence (quickly touching wood) i am due for my next test in august, should be interesting with the new cam in the car, lmao!!!!!!!!!!! but i will have a little more control of the pcm

kevin,

my monoblade has no provisions for it that too could be rigged to look real as well as the egr. but i am pooched when it comes to the a.i.r pump.
