Good info and thanks for the heads-up. This is partially why NA builds are the dominant Honda street build out here nowadays.

thats one of the issues with Cali, my gf and I want to more out there in a few years but I'm scared shitless of all my "illegal" mods..
If you're going to have a moderate or heavily tuned, street-driven car here the best thing you can do for yourself is to:

1). get a daily driver so you don't drive the tuned car every day
2). Keep the external look very subtle; sleeper is best
3). Drive the modded car sparingly
4). Keep then engine bay looking docile - no bright colors. Obvious mods like a CAI should be CARB legal to be safe. Turbo builds should have docile IM's and preferable a subtle heat shield to hide the turbo.


It's not guaranteed that you'll get busted. Police still need solid probable cause or a warrant to search your car. I know guys who get away with non-CARB legal boost setups and plenty of guys who have NA builds, you just need to always be thinking in the "sleeper" mindset. Also, some police out here are nicer than others. A lot of the local guys in my area also build cars and are often lenient; CHP and LAPD on the other hand....

Actually, everything in Cali is the best except for the cops :D We have the hottest sluts, the sickest tracks, a huge tuner scene, a huge music scene, and the best shrubbery (if you know what I mean :twisted:)

Plus, I grew up in Philly - living here is paradise in every aspect for me haha

However, you guys in TX have Austin - which is a BALLIN' city. My band is gonna be there for 4 dates at the end of the month and I'm gonna go to 6th street and have myself a good 'ol time :D
