hmm.... Cali... you're pretty much SOL.

spECIal

lol, pretty much. ur outta luck

jus do like everybody else, get ur mods, and always remember................____ the police, ____ the police, ____em!!!

tC9o9

legal mods i can think of if your in cali..

-header
-intake
-exhaust
-turbo
-engine internals
-pulleys
-ems

and a bunch of other things















ITS ONLY ILLEGAL IF YOU GET CAUGHT

......

ninethowzend

engine internals meaning?...

tC9o9

basically you can go all motor and cops cant really see it.. now i will be serious:

-Pistons
-Cams
-Pulley
-Rods
-Port and Polished Head

and thats all that really comes to mind

also you can get a header and have the stock heatshiled fitted onto it.. their is no way a cop can tell the difference.

also.. i belive Crower is comin out with some parts for us soon.. i hope he comes out with a stroker kit.. that would be AWESOME

Meaning if much is changed then you'll also need to change the electronics tuning to support the engine revisions. Even if the cops don't stop you, inspect it and find something, you'll still have to get it smog checked eventually, and that's where the mods will be a pita.

I know the supercharger doesnt pump out much power but isnt it legal?

if you run all-motor and TRD supercharger(possibly with pulley...powder-coat it black and no-one would ever know) and run a light weight pulleys/flywheels, and that is legal...

and it should pass smog(if u use e-manage, just run into it kinda lean, making sure all fuel burns which = less-emissions....

dont beat the system...go around it

tC9o9

ya you can do that too..

or make friends with the local ghetto smog shop

actually headers, turbo, CAI, are all illegal. If you get pulled over and the jerk pops ur hood and sees any of these...BUSTED!!

w3paint_xA_xB

turbo is illegal in cali...

tC9o9

i kno.. everything is illegal for the tC.

however, like i said, its only illegal if you get caught.

nodsetse

Yes, the TRD supercharger is legal.

BuddhasTC

IMO, it's the only bad thing about Cali though

Cat-back exhausts (not s-pipe back, an actual cat-back)
TRD Supercharger
Pulleys
Drop-in high-flow air filters

That's it. However, blackonblacktc was right: everything is legal if you don't get caught.

ninethowzend

damn i hate rules....

ninethowzend

also which intake systems are CARB legal. i thikn the AEM is right?

2fast4you

None of the CAI/SRI are CARB approved for the tC.
