Let me ask a straight forward question, and i hope that none of you will look at me badly,Originally Posted by Quiggs
what is up with carlifornia and car regulations, i had even heard about it in africa, their own laws in racing, their own emissions stardard and now they hate the hummer so much that you cannot be elected gorvener if you have one,and the horific stories of people and their cars being broken into by the police just for having a "non-compliant" part in them
to tell you the truth now that i am modifying my car, i do not plan to drive into carlifornia, id rather take the bus.
Once fanboyism infects you it impares all your judgement.
It's like being drunk, you lack common sense and everyone laughs at you.

Motion & Emotion
Well, as a native San Franciscan, we (the state) think we are the savior of the Earth, that we must spend taxpayer dollars debating over the official wine or how we can jack up the taxes on the middle class to pay for worthless aid programs. Plus we look at cars as evil, satanic vehicles. We will protest and destroy and blah blah blah to save the goddamn Earth.... wow that felt good.Originally Posted by kigango123
As for the non-compliant part thing, I have never heard of that happening.
I'm dropping out to create a company that starts with motorcycles, then cars, and forty years later signs a legendary Brazilian driver who has a public and expensive feud with his French teammate.
California has pollution problems. Among other things.
They can impound your car if they find non-CARB approved/exempt parts, or if it's too low, or if you don't have DOT-approved lighting. (Boy, I'd be in trouble.)

You should take your muffler and catalytic converter off and drive over there just to spite them!Originally Posted by Quiggs
They couldn't touch me. I have out of state registration.

Diplomacy for the winOriginally Posted by Quiggs
theres no diesel cars that make the kind of torque we're lookin for. i would love to have a diesel car tho. i'd especially love to have a diesel truck
My rides:
1999 Mustang GT
1974 Ford Country Squire (for sale!)
1991 Jeep Cherokee
1970 Shelby GT500
How much torque could you actually want? A diesel approximately produces twice the torque of an engine that is equivalent to it in displacement. (Ok, I was generalizing, but you get the point)Originally Posted by Juggs
A Honda doesn't have much torque but it's still enough to get around town. A diesel would be more than enough.

Well, it seems to me that those in the US that really like the characteristics diesels have are not hesitant to buy one. People I know who really, I mean really use a truck for work or play have diesels or talk about wanting one if they could afford it because there is a bit of a premium on them. As far as regular cars go, they never gained enough of a footing here and those that did sell back in the day, at least other than Benz's, didn't fair so well. I'm thinking specifically of Peugots, GM's botched attempt, and the diesel VW's.
When I recently looked at Jetta's, the TDi, and these were 06 models, had a premium of around 8K over a gasser, and the TDI doesn't carry all kinds of other mad options along with it, you're really paying for the diesel. So, if you're driving a diesel VW at least you must really want a diesel. I can't think of anyone else really in the diesel game for passenger cars in the US right now.
When diesel brings in power and torque in a perfect package with hot sound i'll buy one.
But i like too be able too rev a big and pull with a mix of torque and power.
I probably wouldn't buy a diesel on sound and price right now.
Wouldn't mind a 300kw 700Nm diesel plant but
But i was just driving Holdens new Calais V6 5 speed auto.
Got some great fuel figures out of that car... 195kw 345Nm running on 91 unleaded fuel. Average fuel used was 9.1l/100... Best of 8.3l/100.. Large car 1700kg with 4 and boot full i was pretty happy with that.. And it will buzz too 100kp/h in under 8 seconds.
