Exactly!!! Soon as I can, I'll be in the Florida "Panhandle" like "Niceville", so I can run Fort Walton Beach, Pensacola, etc. Here, I have the State Carb Legal Vortech S/C. When I leave I'll trade it in for a APS TT Extreme and built motor. That's the plan, but getting out of here is like ....... I visited Florida last year and it was really nice, a little rainy and warm, but it was a nice place, and good roads for cruising. And not worry about restrictions, which is the bomb...

Aha, sometimes regulations/laws can be wierd and "out of whack" with reality. Diesels definitely DO more harm to the environment than gasoline vehicles, still, they're not as closely monitored as gas-operated ones. I-r-r-a-t-i-o-n-a-l stuff!!! Puerto Rico is still a haven for sports car owners. I bought my 'O4 Touring Coupe on February of 2008; now, a year later, I haven't been stopped once yet, for ANY reason. Guess I can't complain!

this is a scary thread. i'm about to buy a lightly moded car with front lip, intake, stock-looking exhaust, lowered with rims. the car doesn't have turbo.
should i be expecting to be pulled over and get ticketed? if the car is smog checked (which it has to be before my purchase), will i be safe from getting ref tickets?
or do the cops just look at the way the car looks and automatically give a ticket based on the fact that i have a lowered car with rims.

Update:
After all this time, I finally got it all worked out. No returning to stock and no ref. LOL. Alot of time in court haggling though and finally, we settled on a fine. I can finally drive my car without worrying about it anymore. But now I want a 370. LOL.

Good to hear you finally got your modified Z work out so you can drive it again on the street without incurring the wrath of the CHP!! So when are you going to complete the SFR twin turbo kit for the 370Z- hint, hint!!!

Glad it worked out...I have been silently following it since you first posted, and I have been very glad Illinois doesn't do the CARB crap. Half of the "daily drivers" people use wouldn't be on the road around here if they did smog testing.

That's great news Tim at least you get to keep the twins w/o fear of driving your car. Gonna have to come down to the shop I see you have a new dyno on your web site, last time I was down there you didn't have that. I guess I'll try staying away from those areas mentioned in the post. Maybe need an 1199 plate heard they cut you some slack.

So you think a built TT would be able to pass the smog sniffer end when tuned properly?

I told him my car is tuned so well I will pass the emissions test on the rolling dyno and then I ask him then why dont you pull over that Ford F-350 that drove by with huge 5" exhaust that is billowing out as much black smoke as a locomotive? Well thats smog exempt is what he replied.
