Ok, so let say i have a modified car (engine wise), lets say a Honda Civic
SI Tuner... now with a Turbo, Frankinstein engine, improved FI, maped ECU...
modified exhaust? i have to put back a stock engine every 2 yers!

Or, lets take a Ford Mustang with a modified engine with... just for fun,
let say 8 carbs! something like that!!!!

What you guys are telling me is that NO "tuner" style car are allowed in CA?

I understand an engine swap with everything that belong to this engine is
kind of ok, but no crasy Nitro modification... at least at the time of the
test!

What i find  bit crasy about that is an "offset" (not well tune) economic
4cyl Honda may fail that test but a big Hummer in shape will pass!!! tell me
what is the logic in that!!!!!!!!!!! when i travel in the US, you guys are
scaring me with your big SUV/cars.... Navigator style monster.... where not
to get close to the Kyoto Protocol with those big big big vehicles!!!!!
think big :-))))
