Here in Vancouver BC Canada, first you get a ticket, second u get suspended, third ur car goes into the garbage

is it like that in the us?

Here in BFE North Carolina, the cop never asks you to pop your hood in the first place.

If he does, he has no idea what kind of motor your car should have from the factory.

In Cali, you will be sent to state referee. You can pay not to go, but wait to get pulled over second time. The fine will be doubled, third time it will be tripple etc. Search, it has been covered.

Just California. (not to say people don't get hassled elsewhere or that putting a non OBDII compliant engine in a OBDII era car is legal. Because it's not. I've seen many dorks do this and then realize it can never be registered for road use)

i have searched. and i did not find it. googled it then nicoed it then googled it again. probably didnt type in the right keywords eh?anyway i doubt they are up to date.... so it wasnt that kind of deal.So state referee? hmm... get pulled over second time... they milk the **** outa u haw? ty for info... i would love to know if you can get penalized for registering in nevada bout to search it...to bad this isnt a euro country haw? u could just pay off the cops that way. In Serbia my uncle was goin 180kph in a 100 zone LOL gave him = to about 10 dollars and we were on our way!Edit:i searched... no luck... i think i suck at searching... happens all the time i serach and search no luck, happens for papers as well.my friend and i think that if you did reg outa state they would be suspicious and question you if its stolen... with good reason for that... Im more than leaning towards it being illegal but...dam i need to work on my searching skilz hey dont they need a warrant to make you open your hood? i checked and the source didnt seem very reliable (****ing honda sites will say anything to get attention). Or do they need suspicion? as in smoke and **** and fuel flying outa ur exhaust cus u didnt bother to tune your rb?

thats when you ask him if he has a warrant, unless its in visible sight, they cant technically open it or look inside. never failed yet..

and if they did ask you for some reason you can refuse. That can't do anything about it. Gotta love this state sometimes.

[kornaz]

Yes, search sometimes might give you a hard time, because other people misspelled. With state ref is:First time you have to go, but instead you pay the fine. I don't remember if it's $400 or $500. If you don't go, they still keep a record on you. So if the popos harass you again, and you get sent second time, they already see that you didn't go the first time. Somebody said there's a guy who had to pay $2000, because he got pulled over several times.

Registering it in another state is a way out of harassment. If the plates are good, and the car is not stolen, they won't bother you as much. But you have to have a friend or relative living in the other state in order to register. Also you have to check with other state's laws.

You can refuse to open the hood, BUT this will give popos even more suspicion. It all depends how you react. Remember, sometimes you have to pay to play. If you would just put a RB, and run stock, or stockish looking and quiet exhaust, i don't see there many problems. Also it depends on the cops where you live. I see a bunch of SR'ed 240's with fartcans runing allday everyday.

Also it depends on how you drive, do you race on the streets or not, etc. etc.

yeah i had a feeling about that, i saw a vid about how to avoid cop confrontations and when you step outa the car roll up ur window and lock the door. so i thought it might apply to the hood. But do you think a carbon fiber hood with like vents on it applies as in view? it depends on the hood right?i just need to find a 93db exhaust , cuz i cant resist swapping out turbo intercooler and boost controll... cept no dynos around my town and i wont feel confortable the first few years going out on my own in my car looking for a tuner in L.A or SF... Im concerned about the IC being seen; is that enough to allow them to get under my hood? i mean if they know anythin about cars an ic is for a turbo... but they do come at me from behind... tricky **** aint it? yeah umm hey u seem very knolegable and somone like you could help me out a ton! plz check out my other thread... working on some more legitimate smog passing stuff for rb... the butane/fuel original post has died out to me simply because i dont want to mess with fuel injectors and the REF thing is going to be a pain but if somone does it... well you know what that means, i DONT have to say it do i?zerothread?id=276529ill say this now; i never said im not a moron or nub.

It does not depend on the hood, unless popos could easily see thru, that you have aftermarket stuff/engine under it. IF they can see it, they have a probable cause, which means you're fvcked. Then they have a right to pop it.

Fuel catch in exhaust? I never heard of it. This must be new thing.

IC being seen - simple solution. Paint it flat black, so it does not stand out, and won't draw attention. If popos see, it is enough for them legally pop your hood, because you have the IC. All this crap came after the streetracing got out of hands and popos got tired of it. They cracked all the street racing pretty good. And them coming from behind is no tricky thing.

As for your other thread, "some" guy is already doing it and helping ton of people. I'm lazy right now, if you need more info, hit me up on some kind of messenger.

Kornaz is right, you can either pay the fine and risk being hassled again by the cops, or actually get reffed.

Most of the time, choose not to take the ref option because of course they know what they have is illegal...

but.. iirc, if for whatever reason you do decide to get reffed, and you pass, they give you your own personalized VIN# that exempts you for the next time a cop pulls you over.

[eazye2000]

Just join the military..

I keep all my vehicles registered in Florida, that way I don't get harassed. And when I show them a FL license in the state of Massachusetts, they tend to just say 'get it fixed' with no real threat. They can't do squat. We don't have emissions testing, or safety inspections in FL... as of right now. I did hear that they were going to adopt CA's emission standards though... ...but when they do, I'll claim another state as my primary state of residence and I'll be all set!

Lol, there's no such thing as catching fuel. I think you need to read more about engines and such. If there is too much fuel mixed with the air, the engine "runs rich" and either will not run (it floods), runs very smoky, runs poorly (bogs down, stalls easily), or at the very least wastes fuel. So, no way you will be spewing out fuel. You can backfire (flames coming out your exhaust). But yet again, it depends on what kind of exhaust you will have, how good the tune will be (let's say you have rb and you turn up the boost or add bigger turbo etc. it will run lean). If you plan on running stock RB20 for now, there's no worries of "fuel coming out of your exhaust".

Just read, and I mean READ A LOT. And instalL AIM (AOL Instant Messenger) and check people's profiles with 2000+ posts, they have they'er AIM screen name listed, they will help and answer most of your questions. Trust me.
