The extend that some states in the USA are going in order to crack down on "modified" cars. Although most "rice" is not really my thing, the US is/was one of those countries where you could go WILD on a car, crank up the power and looks with little or no repercussions. In Europe for example, you pretty much are not allowed to do the same kinda things, unless you go through a lengthy and expensive process to legalise the dru... err, car 
Will this kinda stuff spread elsewhere? Will it become too difficult to pump out monsters in the states  ? I hope not  |
California is st doing that because 9 out of 10 ricers do their suspensions wrong and are putting everyone on the road in danger because of it. That and their nazi-ist emissions laws reguire all intake systems, tubos/superchargers and exhaust systems to pass C.A.R.B. requirements and the stickers must be on display under the hood, which most of them are not. Now a car over 30 years old, you can do anything you want to the powertrain
since california has a 30 rolling exemption on the emissions laws, even though every other year they try to repeal it, it alys gets struck down.
Now suspension work has alway been illegal regardless of how it is done or who it is done by.
all this is yet another reason i refuse to live in that shithole state.
