Disappointing to hear about and watch. I really feel like the EPA is stretching here with targeting performance tuning shops. It is low hanging fruit for them, but in the grand scheme of things it won't do much benefit for the environment. The only thing it will do is cripple the performance industry.
Yet my 335d has no emissions requirements and can roll coal with 600 plus torque no questions asked in Illinois. Hahahahha

yall havent seen nuthin yet. they know just how many fleets, even of public sector vehicles with emissions defeats. fucking schoolbusses guys. i was just messaging eagle about this with his truck. shit rolls downhill.

remove yer posts folks, if they havent been mined for evidence, its a helluva fine, and guess how many local govenments are gonna be looking for revenue?

the roadside inferometer tailpipe tests mean there's no need to implement obd3, park one next to a toll pass, interface cammera's n some simple NNAI and bam, 25,000$ tickets for feral violations of tampering with vehicle emissions eqpmnt.

the roadside testers are what caught actual proof of the dieselgate.... dont think they wont menetize systems to sell to help fill coffers.... it'll be the red light cammera's all over again. cept with possible jail time.

just sayin

i feel this shouldnt be a spideer crawlable thread.

Meanwhile, I only fix to OE specs.. You know what that means?

It means that every flatbill facebook diesel shop will go under cause they can't diagnose. They just delete...

there was a report recently released documenting how pervasive the DEF/DPF/scrubber n egr stuff is deleted, on even public sector equipment

how well you think the local school district would do with a 3 million dollar fine for tampering? cta? how about small fry's smaller truck co's? Owner operators? b plate trucks?

yeah id bet anything, they will go for the $, all the way to the little fish, low hanging fruit first, posts and evidence all over.

think folks

I have :angrys00ls:. Has it run faster then a Honda odessy :angrys00ls:

Well considering the only “traction friendly” mod I did to the car was a narrow ass road race tire and I was still able to manage a 12 flat at 130mph really not doing any burnout, the results this year should be much better. If not that’s what gasoline and a match are for!

12 flat at 130 and you’re sniffing my exhaust pipe, and I’m like 1/10th of your rolling weight.

I was hitting low 11’s @ 130. That’d be a fun race to do. Hellcat vs 600cc bike. But if you have even the slightest improvement I’ll be watching you pull away from me, in a street car. ??

You do not think PBD is getting a knock at the door?
They don’t manufacture anything at pbd like the other companies that got one, but they did buy up all the n gauge’s and parts after they quit making them I think ken probably figures he’s small potato’s compared to the companies that got a visit

He’s no different than Lund.

Believe me, if the EPA shuts down Lund, don’t think for a second they won’t say “so, why is it PBD can continue tuning and doing the same thing?”

If one or two of them go down they’re bringing everyone with them for sure.
