With all these restrictions people will just need to be more creative to make more power. People are acting like it's the end of the world for making power and it's not.

Lets hope we will not have to start passing sniffer tests anytime soon.

Makes sense to me

QTP - chime in here, maybe time for a FL group buy

if you were so worried about the planet you would be planting trees....something which southern cali has very little of, unlike florida. we have the worst "looking" skies. goes from brown to blue. if you are worried about your car killing the planet....go switch to E85
I think the fumes from your testpipe have begun to affect your higher brain functions.

Someone answer this question for me though. I understand that octane measures the fuels resistance to knock or burn. The lower the octane then, the cleaner the burn? I'm just trying to understand why it's such a big deal to ****can the 93. We already had 94 taken off the market last year. I'm in PA, one of the other tree hugging states. Trust me, we have plenty of trees. We should send some to Florida and Cali and **** the emmissions! I'm dropping the cat for a test pipe any day now, actually. It hurts performance. If nobody else cares, why should I?

Wow, that sucks. Since you guys have emissions, just move to Cali where the grass is greener.

This did upset me briefly when I first started reading. However, our planet is much more important than gaining performance. Besides, all you have to do is just switch in and out parts when the time comes to check emissions. After all, all of the California members on this forum are doing it.

With that being said, this bastard (Charlie Crist) needs to be cussed out for another reason. He decided to sign a bill here (Florida) to raise tuition 40% yea thats right 40% for FSU, UNF and USF by Fall 2008. Also this 40% increase is not covered by Florida Bright Futures (a program that gives college students money for tuition in Florida). F*ck him.

Yeah, these emissions laws are becoming a pain in the ***. My car is tuned for 93 and lately I've been leaving quite a few gas stations after finding out they only sell 92. I've also been pulled over for the sole reason that my car smelled bad and the cop wrote me a $50 ticket for no cats, even while I was doing the exact speed limit at 10pm on a sunday.

I think the world has plenty of stuff to worry about other than a few guys with modded cars spitting out some smelly exhaust. Factories that pollute like crazy just pay off the govt and get around this stuff. BS.
