drifting/racing on the street and legal stuff

NH has no smog or emission laws of any kind, it is really great! You can do anything you want to a car and as long as it isn't overly loud they don't care.

lol yes. that and 93 octane. The police generally worry more about crap happening in town then on the zillions of miles of really quiet back roads.

we get done for having stereo's to loud, they stay its noise pollution. anything that gives away your a hoon or young kid they will try and target you

Florida isn't completely terrible. I'm in rockledge and the cops are INSANE. you can mostly find a cop on just about any street at any given time, but they honestly don't care much about modifications.

I know a guy running an red top'd 240 hatch. Custom piping all the way back to a frigging loud can, no cat or anything. The thing SCREAMS just at regular driving levels and he's encountered cops everywhere as we all have, but no one cared to pull him over, even though he's easily over the 95 db level.

cops here are just crazy about speeders. Rockledge is a little old town, not much. walmart is the local hot spot. yet, instead of "fighting crime" there's like a cop at every light with a radar gun, since there needs to be, seeing as it's such a huge high traffic city where so many accidents happen. It's frigging obnoxious.

so there is a smog law in NH? i thought you only got yelled at for cutting out your cat and putting in straight pipes...not like i did that our anything....

[Parry]

your exhaust has to be solid and apear to be in good working ordre. That means you need a cat.

That doesn't mean you need anything IN that cat.

[zerodrifter]

parry, i already knew that but the cat on my old 85 300zx was rotted out. And that whole money issue. oh and they passed my inspection.

This was last december

here in CO the cops are pretty lienient on mods. we got busted drifting in a lot one time and they just kinda looked at liscense and registration and then let us go home w/o really doing anything...we all thought we were screwed though cause this friend of mine had an sr20 with a few mods (one beig the apex'i n1 exhsut, which was loud as crap) and his hood was up when the cops rolled in. the cop looked at it, then shrugged his shoulders and asked us what we were doing. so we told him we were getting some practice in for drift showoff and having some just hanging out and stuff. so he let us go. my car has no cat, and an hks sports muffler on it, and i have never been pulled over for noise levels or anything of that sort

It's all in who you talk to. Going by the book you should have failed, but whatever.

[otakugt4]

by the book not too many cars up here would pass, but if you go to your local rural inspection place they don't care, as long as the car passes a basic visual they will sticker it.

[Parry]

pretty much.

Gonna have to call on that for the camaro next week, hahaha.

[zerodrifter]

i agree

That's what it's like where I live. They pay more attention to you if you've got mods but unless you're speeding they pretty much leave you alone. Hafta be on the lookout for photoradar though. They go crazy with that thing here. **Edit: No emmission checkups needed here either.

in vancouver, canada, they have been busting street racers and speeders hard. they took away photo radar but the cops just hide behind fences, they only take the guys speeding infront of the pack. In richmond you need a sticker or something to show that you have legal mods (i think), but the highways are not that bad. lots of areas in canada that the cops don't really go, just have to drive a bit to get there. as for engines, it doesn't matter and i don't think that most cops can tell the difference, most of them are too busy with road blocks or finding grow ops.

the reason i ask is because my friend told me about a spot near where to he works that has huge wide lanes, and very very good clean surface, well, i went to go check it out and it looked really good to practice on, nothing was there, all warehouses, this was on a monday morning at around 1-2am, well im driving by just checking it out, and i start hearing screeching, so i keep driving and what do you know, i run into 4 cars, all lined up side by side, and they take off, must have been a good 1/2 mile stretch, i stay behind them but dont try and race them or anything, so i keep going, till the end, then theres like 10-15 cars on the finish line, all fixed up imports, civics, 240s, crxs, supras, etc.. anyhow i took off, didnt stay to watch or anything but i was just wondering about this whole issue of getting caught doing drifting and/or drag racing

Is this spot in cali? If it is in S cal I think i know what you're talking about
