I do not see Spectragod's car in the video. :burnout:

Mines a DTR, it won’t do burnouts. It’s so slow, I can barely find the thing.

This one is good, my favorite one is Defyant's Mercury Marauder doing badass burnouts with the song "Fuel-Metallica"
The video was on streetfire.net, but no longer there:bigcry: Anyone know where else I could watch it?

Well, I’m in Monterey County, the Central Coast, formerly in Sonoma County for 20 years, then San Jose before that. Born and raised here, and every year it gets worse.
I’d love to pick your brain on how I could get there under the current BS smog laws, so thanks for any info you’d care to share. I’d really like the stainless works exhaust you mention in another post, but what’s the point if you’re stuck with those crappy cats?
I’d be thrilled to get the car to 450 HP at least, but don’t have a clue how to get there. (Although the other day RubberCity mentioned getting a CARB sticker by telling them it’s a Mach 1 engine.)
Anyway, always interested in someone that can workaround the *********.
(I’ll say it again, I can’t wait to move out of this state in a few years!)

I never mentioned getting a CARB sticker for a MACH 1 motor. And Lowndex is playing with fire..he may or may not pass emissions..nobody knows. Then to go thru the expense of putting a blower/exhaust etc. on and then only have 2 years before it's time again..gonna take it all off and go thru the test again?
Just move before you want a power adderand make sure the state you go to isn;t an issue.

just curious if there's still chance to buy a trilogy kit? What are the chances and how much would it be?

zero chance..it's been long gone..Jerry Barnes is not going to resurrect them..They were $6500 or $6995 back in the day..Sometimes used ones come avail when people upgrade to whipples etc..but they are not usually 100% complete and Trilogy does not offer parts, so it turns into an eaton swap kind thing.

Oh I see. Eaton swap seem to be more common.

You’re right, my apologies. It was ByronRace in the thread “boosted MM, there is no substitute,” post 24. Don’t know how I got you guys mixed up.
It’s a PITA now to swap out the CAK for the stock unit and change the tune back every other year, but if someone had a workaround the emissions test I’m interested. Not willing to unbolt everything every other year though.

There are alternatives. Very, very easy alternatives. How long will it last who knows. But as of today and a year ago I had no problem getting my car to "pass" smog. although the "processing fee" is significantly more than traditional route.

PITA to change a CAI and a tune? That consists of less than 10 minutes! Yeah, I’d stay away from anything else in your case.
What I️ don’t get is how all these hot rods on all these TV shows from Cali get away with it? I️ mean Cali has to be the state with the most speed shops??

You’re right Bob, I’m just a clueless dick! I don’t think I can be trusted with anything complex. Thanks for your input there! [emoji1531]
I spend 40 minutes every other year disassembling the PHP airbox and Metco tube from the MAF, and digging around in storage for the stock airbox and putting it together. I didn’t say it was hard; I said it was a PITA.
That includes reflashing the tune with the old 9100 that used to also be time consuming, but with the new XCAL 4 is way faster. I used to spent 10 minutes alone on transferring the tune from the 9100. (****! Why the **** am I bothering to justify myself to you?)
The hot rods in CA get away with it by not being CARB compliant I guess. Also, it’s a hell of a lot easier to be in compliance with a new car than one 14 years old. That’s why I’m asking these guys for the specifics on how they’re passing or going to pass CA smog with way more than 450 HP estimated.
You know, to an expert in your field everything is easy. I have a garage full of tools, and have probably done more automotive work than a lot of guys, but I’m not a professional and don’t pretend to be.
But I really don’t need your ‘tude, and BTW, you wouldn’t last 5 minutes in my wheelhouse. So please do me a favor and go flex at someone else’s expense? There’s got to be plenty of other guys here you can put down. I get enough of that from my wife. Thanks Bob!

You can buy mine for $27,500 and it comes with a pristine low mile Marauder!
You know, I paid $27,100 for my low mileage stock MM in 2004 (300 miles), so depending on the mileage that’s actually a great deal. Wish I had the $.

For years I had a very, very easy way to pass smog in CA as well. All it took was a bottle of Kessler and a folded up $20 bill left in the front seat, with a nod to the tech as I handed him the keys. I’d go next door for a couple of beers and when I got back, voila! The car passed every time! Go figure.
More of the good old days.
