hidden turbo?

[JasonC]

Are the cops in Cali harder on the guys that have modified imports over the guys that have modified domestics?

[MonkeyMadness]

Does the cop on the beat have a way to check a C.A.R.B. number if one presented to him or her?

I mean "counterfeiting" one of these doesn't look that hard..
We're boosting and remapping a 26-22yr old car on our laptops
I think we could figure out how to come up with a usable c.a.r.b. sticker

[einstein57]

Not in california. That plate would have the C.A.R.B. # right on it. Assuming you were planning on putting it in the engine bay.

sounds like it might be able to slide.

Funny you said that... I was actually going to try to pass it off as a Callaway tuned E30.. ( which, i don't think he ever made one)

thats the kind of thing i was thinking about. something thats rare and wont have alot of info readily available, but also believable. that way when their isnt a number in the system for the car you could say that its because it was overlooked due to rarity.

With the lack of affordable stand alone systems back in the day, a turbo system had to be specifically tuned to each car. Kinda makes it hard to make if carb legal unless you make it basic enough to the point where it makes no power. Either that or you'd have to provide a pre adjusted afm and fpr which would be a paine.

That's Crazy it's hard to beleave that with all the tuners of the days for the bimmers that no one did a carb legal with certs turbo package. I would have thought that the M20 back in the day would have been a no brainer, strong, peppy, potent, and bmw made tons of them..

agreed, you would think a big company would make one cause a good amount of e30 owners want to go the turbo route i think

I searched the data base but did not find one for the m20

[e30shmobberr]

You can check the carb certificate data base and see if they offered one. According them dinan never certified the e30 kits. Only the m30 kits.

didnt they have a rare dinan e30 m3 turbo kit that was carb legal? i have heard of this

[MonkeyMadness]

couldn't you just get an alpina rep valve cover and steering wheel, then claim its some rare version with stock turbo?

[e30shmobberr]

and also the fact that hondas are fucking gay, my buddys dad is a cop here in so-cal and he says all the cops hate the hondas lol...probably because we have soo many gay ricers out here

what no love for rice?? no jk i say that the ricers all need to be packaged up and shipped to the starving people in need of some rice
