    Another question on Wheels :-(

    in Brakes, Wheels, Suspension and Chassis

    Posted

    Sorry for making another one of these threads...

     

    Looking to pick up a set of these wheels...

     

    http://www.rotawheels.com/wheel.php?id=120

     

    I was wondering out of all the choices they have listed in the 4x114.3 Z bolt pattern which would be the best choice, and which offset I should choose.  Car has no fender flares, factory suspension and brakes.

     

    Would prefer the 15x8 wheels to get more rubber, but if the offsets work better for my car with the 15x7 then so be it. 

     

    Thanks so much for the help!

    I had my ls1 tank mounted, but i have since changed my mind. That thing is way big and awkward for the size it is. I'm going with a custom aluminum fuel tank (much cheaper than i first thought - ~400+pump+sender) So that will tuck the tank up excellently, and also leave ample room for duals, while still using the stock filler location, and having a 0-90 ohm sender. Basically everything i ever wanted!

     

    Can you send a link to the fuel tank set up?

     

    Thanks!

    LS1 Car Club! Post yours!

    do you HAVE to cut your floor for a fuel cell?

    Yes they can be mounted in the stock location, but filling becomes an issue. The wall between the tank is supposed to be made of a non-flamable/non-porous material (read metal. In the event of a wreck it's to prevent splash and burns.

     

    On the subject of burns. Anyone see that "Skin Gun" for treating burns with skin stim cells. Like air brushing your own skin back on. no more horrible scars, Search you-tube for Skin gun. and keep your mind out of the gutter.

     

    HAHAHAHA! I didn't even think about skin gun being dirty until you said to keep your mind out of the gutter. That is hilarious dude! LOL!

    John C thanks for actually posting useful information and for making the call. Gives me some info o go off of when I talk to my BAR guy next week.

     

    Tony D, you didn't do anything but post life experiences just like mine. Don't take credit for others work with a long pointless post when you did NOTHING to help your side of the argument. You didn't post any real facts or data. Thanks for trying though.

    Called my BAR rep and he said this is how it works:

     

    1. Officer cites under 27156 (http://dmv.ca.gov/pu...d12/vc27156.htm).

    2. 27156 says its a violation of the law to operate the vehicle (except to get it home or to a repair facility) until proof of correction is provided to the court.

    3. The courts currently only accept proof of correction from a referee.

     

    None of this has anything to do with the biannual or sale smog inspection program that I mentioned above. Its completely outside the program and is a law enforcement action.

     

     

     

    (a) under Section 27156 seems to be where they can nail us. ( b ) states "...vehicle that is required to be equipped with a motor vehicle pollution control device..." According to the other sections under the BAR guidelines a pre 1976 vehicle would NOT be a "required" vehicle.

     

    (a) doesn't continue to explain anything more, and leaves no classification like( b )does. So based on that, we are supposed to negate the previously stated and sectioned SMOG requirement guidelines from the BAR?

    OK, I see what you're saying regarding the paragraph and section numbering. You're right regarding the wording of the part of 44011 I quoted - it only applies to 6 years old or newer. You might also be right regarding an absolute exemption from testing by using this section (44011) but there may be other sections that override. I'm going to make a phone call to my BAR rep and ask for further info. And sorry for the spooner comment, you do raise a good point.

     

    No it's all good dude. I'm just going based off of real life experiences ya know? Crap I've been through regarding this stuff with helping my friends get their smog shops up and running. No worries at all. Let me know what you find out on your side, and I will do the same!

    If you have your truck registered to a PO box out of state you better live out of state with proof like valid DL with a real physical addressed on the DL! Or your going to have problems with the CHP.

     

    As far as an Oregon plated vehicle on Ca roads, yes they can be pulled and checked. Any CHP officer can decide to check ANY vehicle on the road for compliance. Since the purpose of those roadside tests were to 'sample' what is really on the road, I seriously doubt a real ORE driver would actually be cited or made to comply with the laws during a passing through. My father-in-law lives up in Cove Ore and visits us here in Ca often. As long as he is in compliance with ORE law he can be pulled over here in Ca but not forced to comply... and we actually have a letter of apology from the CHP from such an event involving trailer registration(in ORE small trailers dont get license plates!).

    That actually falls here:

    V C Section 4000.2 Out of State Vehicles Certificate

    Out-of-State Vehicles: Certificate

     

    4000.2. (a) Except as otherwise provided in subdivision (B) of Section 43654 of the Health and Safety Code, and, commencing on April 1, 2005, except for model-years exempted from biennial inspection pursuant to Section 44011 of the Health and Safety Code, the department shall require upon registration of a motor vehicle subject to Part 5 (commencing with Section 43000) of Division 26 of the Health and Safety Code, previously registered outside this state, a valid certificate of compliance or a certificate of noncompliance, as appropriate, issued in accordance with Section 44015 of the Health and Safety Code.

     

    (B) For the purposes of determining the validity of a certificate of compliance or noncompliance submitted in compliance with the requirements of this section, the definitions of new and used motor vehicle contained in Chapter 2 (commencing with Section 39010) of Part 1 of Division 26 of the Health and Safety Code shall control.

    Amended Sec. 4, Ch. 704, Stats. 2004. Effective April 1, 2005.

     

    Its when driver/owners state they are in compliance with another state's laws and the CHP doesnt really know the other state laws that an issue can arise(how do you think we ended up with a letter of apology!).

     

    EDIT: Sorry dont know how to disable the smileys...

     

    You just said exactly what I said haha.

    See the link to the video and judge for yourself.

     

    When CHP motions you into a ROADSIDE DYNO you MUST comply. Plates notwithstanding.

     

    And I believe I think I can honestly comprehend what a "Sanford and Son Dodge Truck" is vintage-wise. As I said: The guy was the third vehicle off the stop light, and was pulled in, same as every other third vehicle going through that intersection for the 2.5 hours I sat and watched it operate.

     

    What portion of John C's post here are you missing:

    i) Evidence of tampering through remote sensing, visual inspection, other means,

    &

    iii) Vehicle selected for testing via 44014.7 or any other provision of this chapter authorizing inspection.

     

    Maybe you haven't heard of the guys selected for 'random out-of-cycle compliance checks'?

     

    I know three---two 240Z's and a 510. Exempt vehicles. Why were they required to report?

     

    Please comprehend that above "i)" puts all bets off. Remote sensing is real, and you check dirty, you get the letter. Visual Inspection from the CHP---how about you send me the letter your three shop-owning friends send so I can just keep it in my glovebox which then gets me out of the hassle of going becuase they say so?

     

    You THINK you're 'exempt'---you are not.

     

    You aren't reading it correctly. (i) is STILL a sub clause of section (4) of 44011. Doesn't pertain to my car.

     

    To better serve your side of the argument, section (6) states that "all motor vehicles that the department determines would present prohibitive inspection or repair problems."

     

    This portion COULD pertain to my car, but based on how the code is written out, it is not clear on whether or not this is negating the aforementioned section (3)

     

    A BAR SMOG representative frequents my friends test only station in Livermore. I will be sure to have a conversation with him AGAIN, even though I had him explain this to me once before.

    They have it right, you have it wrong. Your days in fantasyland have sadly come crashing to an end.

     

    ANY vehicle on the roadway can AT ANY TIME be pulled over by the CHP for the purposes of roadside compliance checking.

     

    THAT provision of the CVC HAS NOT BEEN ALTERED BY THE LEGISLATION YOU MISQUOTE.

     

    There are several different methods by which you are able to be inspected and put back into the system.

     

    There are only TWO ways I know of that a PRIVATE INDIVIDUAL can get a car EXEMPTED from the Smog Program, and even then it is STILL not 'exempt' from the random roadside compliance check by CHP.

     

    If you think I'm full of B.S. tell it to the guy in Torrance with the OREGON plates on his truck who was pulled into a roadside dyno and made to undergo a full test. I could hear him screaming at the top of his lungs from where I was, across the road and almost 100 yards away! HE still was required to comply.

     

    "Exemption" is a sad way to state what you have on your car, which simply is no requirement for biannual testing.

     

    NOWHERE in ANY part of the CVC does the 'exemption from TESTING' imply, or codify and exemption from COMPLIANCE.

     

    It's a legal nuance you may not understand, but it will bite you in the arse HARD when your day comes!

     

     

    Bad Information, misinformation...just like the Import Tuner Article said... :rolleyes:

     

    I guarantee you his truck was not older than a 1976 model year, plus you don't know the full story on that particular situation either I am assuming? HUNDREDS of people try and pull off the PO Box or former address in Oregon deal. That is a 15-20 year old game now that cops have caught onto. If you have a current address in Cali, and a car with Oregon plates, you are entitled to CA's smog laws.
