Re: Check this out!!!!

Welcome to our world! We've had this for a few years and its been getting tougher and tougher, any major changes now such as a chassis modification or changes to a monocoque, engine swap to a different engine and so on requires you to pass something called an IVA test which is real tough and involves basically meeting modern standards with say a 40 year old truck. Its a total nightmare and is really threatening to kill hot rodding stone dead. Its really intended to outlaw some of the shonky ricer type builds but in reality is just killing the whole custom car scene stone dead.

That's a bunch of BS. How are us younger generations suppose to pass on hot rods to our kids and grand kids. We need to fight against this. By the way, that just gave me a great topic to do a speech for in government class.

Re: Check this out!!!!

That's the government for you. They hate personal freedom, they hate fun, that we can have fun with these cars and trucks, and that they have no legal basis to stop us. Legal basis or not, Big Brother doesn't care. They will do what they want in order to keep us under the thumb of "progressive", socialist, liberal, bull$%^& policies. They hate the free market, that we are allowed to use what we own in any way we see fit. This move by the corrupt elitist pigs in Washington is just another nail in the coffin, another right that they have stolen from us.

Personally I take pride in the fact that my truck would give Al Gore sweaty nightmares. Screw him, and his environmental whack-job brethren who would have us riding around on solar-powered, plastic-crap, Communist-built hybrid-$%^& econoboxes.

In addition, I can't say that I care for rice rockets and the like, but I defend to the death their right to do what they want with their vehicles. They are our brothers in this fight against socialism, and we need them as allies.

That'd be a perfect speech. As the government takes more and more of our rights, it's only a matter of time before every single one of us is extinct, driving around in Obama-mobiles--that is, unless we do something about it. I suggest you read PJ O'Rourke's "Driving Like Crazy". Plenty of material to work with.

Re: Check this out!!!!

IF the only law was that your hot rod had to be quiet, no loud mufflers or open exhaust, would you still be into hod rodding?

Well....kinda brings back the "If you can't make it run, make it loud!" argument. If you can't make it loud, then you gotta make it RUN! Nothing like a little stealthiness.

SEMA has been helping to wage the fight against the states that want to legislate and enact laws and changes to laws that stiffle the hobby industry. If it wasn't for SEMA, the "Cash for Clunkers" would have been applicable to our hobby vehicles. That woulda sucked, big time. SEMA has been a big influence in our hobby, and they deserve our support!

Screw the gov. if they want to stop the carbon footprint and bring emissions down lets convert to Methanol or ethanol switch our older vehicles over to it! I read alot on the conversion of E-85 and am seeing some pretty nasty and fast HORSE POWER results!!!!!! Lots of horsepower running a renewable resource!

Re: Check this out!!!!

This is a link to the IVA testers manual, all 282 pages of it! http://www.transportoffice.gov.uk/cr...20May%2009.pdf Its not impossible to pass an IVA with a rod as several people have done it but its something that has to be designed in from the beginning and means a lot of new components that are E marked. Oh and the exhaust, 99db. Its also killed a lot of kit car manufacturers too.

The problem is, now there are more like-minded, lemmings in Govt power that can and will enact this legislation if given half the chance. Like mrein3 said, be careful WHO you vote for.

That is why alot of people don't.....that way they stay under the guise of non-culpability. They are neither part of the "cause" of the problem nor are they responsible for the poor "resolution"

Re: Check this out!!!!

Let's see...
Your children are born into de facto slavery. You own nothing of any tangible value in your life, (miss a tax payment and see what you REALLY own) you merely rent it from the government.

And you're jes' now getting angry? Uhhhh....ok....
Better to use the Second Ammendment for it's intended purpose, bloody force in defense from Tyranny, than waste another second of your enslaved life dreaming of voting your way back to freedom.

Stop struggling and accept your condition and maybe your masters will let you own pictures of guns and cars....

Whether I agree, or disagree is moot.

I just want to warn alluv ya that you are probably pushing the limits on political speech and if ya don't back down a bit, somebody will lock the thread & nobody will be able to voice their opinion.

This is something that has always pissed me off ...its the same here in Cali ...open pipe Harleys ...no prob...but my kid has a rice burner not even close to as loud and he cant go around the corner without getting a noise violation..

I've asked off duty CHP and they tell me "its a gray area" in the law between bikes and cars--trucks. WHAT? noise is noise... when you have your window rolled down and a open pipe Harley passes you and thinks its cool that your ears are ringing, if he has the balls to pull over after I flip him off; its on brother.
I don't give a sh#%, your not going to f up my day with your noise pollution!!

Fair is fair, if the law says open pipe Harley's are legal then so should open header 572 Chevy's.........now that would be sweet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BTW Any Harley owners on this website are excluded in the above topic ....as a classic truck enthusiast i will put up with your bike's noise if you own a classic truck too....everyone else though ......buy a freakin muffler!!!
