police: can you please pop the hood so i can check if there any modification..

me: are you serious? lol...

so i went outside... chilled and i was with my home gurl... take all the pictures you can, hehe... so she snap away...

pop the hood, the police look inside the engine bay...

police: im going write you up for not carb header, exhaust and adjustable cam gear

me: wtf, you can write me up for the header and exhaust but the cam gear are factory and polish, plus how is it possible to adjust?

police: what happen to your timing belt cover?

me: i said i recently change my timing belt, why is it illegel not to have it?

the police kinda play it off and ask me another question...

police: do you cataylic convertor?

[ahmad89]

HAHAHAHAHA i love cool down to earth cops, most of them are assholes. I dont see why its illegal to modify your car by putting headers and stuff, if its out there on the market then how it is illegal? You got manufacturers and stuff why cant they shut them down since its illegal? Your lucky man, so far i havnt been pulled over or had a cop take a second look at me, why should they my car is old and has rust spots, would be the perfect sleeper. Also thats an acura?

[Fushi]

Cool pix ! Especially the last ones.
You're lucky for not getting a ticket !

theres alot of thing that are sold that are illegal to use in one way or another underbody neon is totally illegal to use while driving but not when parked, and neon that is red a blue( or that imitates police colors ) is illegal,

Damn things are that bad in cali? Thank god its not like that here in texas.

In california it's illegal to drive on the street with any type of unapproved modification that may affect emissions. The products may be on the market because it's still legal to buy them and put them on your car, it's just illegal to use them on a street vehicle

i told my dad what happned to you and he said the reason he pulled you over was a load of horseshit ... and he works for the virginia state police

technically i think cops here in Cali are allowed to pull you over just because they want to check your engine bay. not 100% on that though

rofl
ur one lucky dude

yep on the first one. and most of the parts actually are illegal when you buy it and you would know if you paid attention. many parts say either something like "OFF-ROAD USE ONLY" (i.e. rsx-s dc sports race header) or, depending on the vendor, they'll asterisk it and put a note at the bottom saying not for on-road use in cali or something like that.

and yeah, they can. and they can ticket you for non-carb approved stuff, although i'm not sure about them being able to pull you over just to look at your hood. but apparently cops are now looking for "illegal racing modifications." not sure if they mean mods street racers might have or mods that aren't carb legal. but check out this video.

damn .. things are that bad, how do so many guys in cali get away with soo much stuff then?

in richmond , va things are no where close to that bad , like my school cop asked me to pop the hood cause he wanted to check it out ... like admire it

lol. keep it clean/sleeper. the cops here are more likely to pull over those w/ rims, wings, kits, fart cans, wild colors, etc. than they are to pull over a stock-looking car. so i think that's one of the major factors in the big jdm movement at the moment. people want to mod their cars, but not really stand out so they do the jdm theme which is a little more subtle. but no, it's not really THAT bad, at least not over where i am. most of the time, cops get them on something like rolling stop or expired plates or speeding or illegal u-turn or something else minor like that then go on from there.

[blazin3gen]

bad ass man bad ass! lol

i love ur cam man takes such clear pics!

[mike10562004]

haha just wait till the nopi meet this year i think he will shiz in his pants
