A friend of mine told me that in California they make the evos slower?
I couldnt believe him. He said they do that because of emissions. It could be true. I did some searching and found nothing. So was just looking for input and if it was true.
He also said that you have to get certification and register every mod you put on your car?

 

There are laws that require a Federal vehicle and a California vehicle to be made if the model doesn't meet certain emissions standards. I'm not sure if the Evo is one of those cars though.

edit: It may be all cars or just some, but I know for a fact that there are "California cars"

 

Nah, i dont think so ..

they might be slower because of Californian Pisstane ??

 

91 octane FTL

 

it could be slower because the air that the car gets sucks a**

 

ever heard of "laws were meant to be broken" ??

 

Thats what I told him. Its just the 91 pisstane..


Yea, but if they make brand new evo 9s with lower hp from the factory, how you supposed to break the law if its already made slow?

 

all us evo's are detuned in comparison to japanese evos. i'm sure you all are aware of that. but in regards to california, there might me a slight loss in horse power due to their strict emissions and ****ty gas. but other than its all the same around the country. your friend might've just been talking about american evos in general

 

what are te japanese evo specs compared to the us specs?

 

LHD vs RHD
JDM Evo IX Rear Bumpers

 

Everytime you post I crack up man!

Although it does seem that the IX rear is the only thing people on here care about. Your Evo has to have a JDM IX rear or you aren't cool enough to post in show and shine.

 

Wow i would hope california isnt worse than other states. i will be moving out to the Huntington beach area here in a few years after gettin out the army. dont wanna get hung for things my car has.....

 

CA cars used to have stricter requirements than the Federal Gov mandated. Now all cars have the same emmission requirements. CA we only get 91 and it suck horribly. Stock Evos on 91 usually see around 6 or 7 counts of knock.

 

that or Volks.

 

91 is common here too, however a lot of the counties do not have any emissions regulations, lucky us
