Street legal mods from Nismo?

[Donalex]

Practically everything engine related would alter emissions. There's also no provision for race cars. That has NOT been law, that's relatively new (which is why RPM is relatively new). CAA would essentially destroy the aftermarket industry, and most of the shit on the books are derived from CARB.

There are tons of engine mods that are EPA and CARB compliant.

Race cars are for "competition use only" and are not targeted by the EPA.

CARB does offer an automatic exception for racecars, but shops must keep detailed records. Anyone who makes, sells, installs or uses a racing part is liable if that part is illegally used on a public road. CARB has used that rule to sue out-of-state companies that sold defeat devices in California. May 13, 2021

CARB can go fuck itself.

This for sure

They had the mobile smog station out today. You pass by with anything that looks nice (modified) and you get to do a curbside smog / inspection.

The whole purpose of the RPM Act is to protect our ability to turn street cars into dedicated race cars because the EPA is going after them and the associated parts/tuners.

Again, CARB is trash and CARB compliant parts are trash compared to their non-compliant counterparts.

Tons of compliant parts? I don't have a single one on my car and quite literally every engine component in my car is aftermarket. Not a single CARB part out of all of it. My damn intake filter isn't even compliant. That's not even by choice.

And why the fuck should a shop be responsible for what a customer does once they leave the shop? That's fucking STUPID. Just as stupid as blaming McDonald's for making people fat or holding firearms manufacturers legally liable for people commiting crimes with said firearms.

So I say again - California, CARB, and EPA can go fuck themselves.

I will be happy with AMS-type upgrades (like what they have done with the Q50/Q60 Red Sports) that get the Z up to around 450hp. More is a great way to get you killed, LOL.

With CARB certification components must have EO numbers, the Roush kit has.

Do you mean OE numbers?

50-State emissions-legal on 2018-2021 Mustangs (CARB E.O. #D-418-41).

No. It's CARB EO (executive order) number.

Thanks! I thought you meant O.E. Original Equipment.

Seems like a fancy tax they created. I bet it's relatively easy to get that exemption.

It actually isn't, which is why the vast majority of aftermarket engine parts DON'T have a CARB certification.

Curbside......smog inspections? - what in the actual fuck?

I'd move.

I'd move.

That is why I live in Texas....

(That's 137 KPH for our metric friends)
LOL Emissions
Tons of long, smooth straights
Tons of folks ready to go to Mexico and send it at a moments notice (our light up highway signs even say "Please, no racing")
Houston, TX aka Horsepower, TX.......only place you can run around with these stickers on your windshield.

Was in TX recently. Became very clear ya'll have speed suggestions, not limits.
