California Emissions in your state?

**IronOutlaw** · 03-29-2009, 09:51 PM

I was reading an article by Scott Parker in my GMHTP tonight about building green streetcars. He is an LT1 owner and was basically talking about how the lsx series was superior when it comes to making eco friendly power, and the sbc and lt1 are like antiques.

He then says, "If in fact California Emissions standards become nation-wide, we'll soon be reevaluating what we call a streetcar."

Should we be worried about this happening? Especially with the new green powered president in office?
I know that we can make eco friendly builds, but this is making me think differently about how I may build my car. Just think of all the longtubes and true duals that would be thrown off cars, or how many cars would be taken off the streets that cant pass.

I dont think it would effect our cars, just like modern laws dont effect older cars as far as emissionns go. I would think or at least hope it would be applied 2 cars that were made after any laws were past.

Most states need to follow IL and MA lead and drop OBDI.

i hate it here, i used to pull to the door in street trim with the cutout closed, blink the lights, hit the signals, blow the horn, purge the kit and spray the shit out of it, then come back for my sticker

my mechanics are cool as hell. no emission testing in southwestern Va

it was always a pain to get somebody to pass my malibu in north carolina, but now im in montana and they dont have any kind of inspection so you can do what you want

My state doesn't have inspection. (Hope I don't jinx myself)

I have heard stuff about California laws spreading, but like was said earlier it sounded like it was more about standards the manufacturers need to meet. I have emissions testing in my county but my car is OBDII so I'm good to go at the moment

If anything changes I could always register the car in Idaho. I'm right on the border.
