Okay, can someone explain to me this state?
I currently live in FL and drive a 2008 Mustang GT. I have long tubes, o/r x pipe, cams and a cai + tune.
I'm enlisting in the military and will be stationed in San Diego for a couple years and possibly Virginia afterwards. My question is, what do I do about my car? Everything on my car is illegal in California. Do I have to get smog tested if I have FL plates? Do police officers inspect your car if you get pulled over?
I heard there are $1,000/per cat fines just for not having cats. That's ridiculous.

Never had an issue with catback or CAI, though put back in your cats for the x pipe if you're smogging. At least for my car that is an easy job.
Police don't really bother with loud cars where I am, there are plenty of exotics that roar down the streets. It will be smogged for CA plates every 2 years. Been pulled over for not having a front plate and speeding several times, but was always let off. Never had them check exhaust, though once they thought I was a drug dealer because of the no plate bit.
Just keep it registered in your home state don't need to have smog then

How does this shit work? Is it worth getting for your car? Is it like in video games (huge ass fucking speed boost)

>How does this shit work?
Since nitrous oxide is an oxidizer, it allows more fuel to be burned per stroke in the same way that forced induction does.
>Is it worth getting for your car?
If you're asking how it works, probably not.

Eh if you equip it correctly it works. Probabky going to reduce the life of your engine a bit depending on how often you spray. Getting bottles filled is inconvient as well.
My ss commodore just lost a drag race to a honda civic and the owner said it only had a mildly warmed up b16a...

Know what the number one rule of street racing is?
Don't be a cocky cunt.
No matter how garbage or ricer their car looks you never know what they have under their hood.
Saw a video of a murchialago laughing at a supra, right up until it's boost kicked in and it was instantly over.
Had my own personal experience in my ssv redline ute where i tried to go a stock looking 33 gtr and it raped me a new asshole.

Well back in August the decals started to flake, so I had to ditch them. So I've been running just black for a while now.
Car meets in Australia fucking suck.
This is what the majority of import enthusiasts look like in Australia.
You try to have meets where people with rota wheels and steelies don't show up yet dudes like pic related always find out eventually and bring all their mates with their poorly built cars on rotas and steeliess.
Then they start calling the people who originaly organised the meets 'eltists snobs' because they don't like all the poorly built cars driven by wankers showing up.
>>14878809
It's the same in the US bud.
please explain rota stigma

Why is there nothing like Up Garage in the United States? In a city like LA it could be a successful business
tuner car scene in la is nothing but degenerate gooks, spics and malibu's most wanted look alikes. they dont have any money t
>>14878771
The size of Japan compared to the size of the States is why.
More concentrated automotive scene over there.
There were hundreds of these in the US before the Japs even thought of modifying a car, they were called speed shops. Most of them went out of business as mail orders and online businesses like Jegs and Summit became more successful

It's nice that it is a communer car, so I can easily have people pitch in when carpooling. The AC is a plus. Talk me out of it /o/s

What was the car scene like when F&F1 came out?
Before F&F street racing was much more fun with a better crowd and much less police. I would say ff just made more jdm fanbois.

4-bangers were rice burners and the only way to win was making your V8 blow up as much fuel in one go as possible
Any ideas on what to do with it?

Americans, you all know that you can convert your gasline vehicles to burn LPG or propane to save money.
But did you know you could convert your diesel car to run on old cooking grease or used deep fryer oil?
Just imagine hooning around while picking the engine of your car in deep fryer oil! You could be combining the two great American pasttimes right into one!

I had a diesel Mercedes for my first car and the guy I sold it to converted it to run on fry oil. Last I heard it was approaching 400k miles and smelled delicious going down the street.
>>14878028
Everyone knows. Nobody gives a fuck.

THE FUNNIEST POST ON /o/ RIGHT NOW
Are BMW ever going to go back to making lightweight cars that are fun to drive? Or they decided we've had our fun and are going to continue making overpriced 2000kg cars that sound shit and have no driving feel?
