i've only read the last few pages, and i see some very, very good responses and emails have been written. I agree wtih most of what is said, however one ting does come to mind:
How many of us skyline owners here have illegal parts on their car? Even just something small, like a cooler + pod filter?
And how many of us have lost our license even just once? Its all good to say that the majority of us are law-abiding citizens on the road, and we as enthusiasts should be seen as different to the morons out there who buys skylines cos they are the next VLT, but our entire argument and point could be tarnished if either of the above two questions are asked.
I daresay 90% of us would not pass the pits or EPA.
just something to think about i guess. Even tho them rules are bullsh*t, those looking at us as hoons would simply use that as their main argument that we don't care for the rules and just modify our cars outside the legal limits, and hence if we're gonna do that then we would ignore the road rules too...
Sad, but unfortunately true.
