ATTN: LONG BEACH portable smog station*** - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Saw one of those portable smog stations on LAKEWOOD between SPRING and CARSON today going northbound.

Blocked off so there is only one lane. Cops there. "survey crew". Cones, etc.

Just FYI.
careful fellas!!!

Damn.

Good thing I drive this stock ass daily now.

Brian · 06-17-2009, 10:26 AM

yeah me too.

I know there is at least one S14 guy that travels this route often. (I have seen him MANY times on my way to work). So hey, if that guy is on here, LOOK OUT.

Kamburrito · 06-17-2009, 06:52 PM

soo .. this is taking place right next to the long beach airport?
i live like 6 mins away from there. good thing i wasnt heading to the mall.

Thanks.

Souljahzs13 · 06-17-2009, 09:21 PM

Damn. Good looking out Brian, I was just two streets away from there today.

touge monster · 06-17-2009, 09:26 PM

I <3 smog

watch out jon..

steve shadows · 06-17-2009, 09:40 PM

This crap is what ruined SR's for me (at least for a car I would ever drive on the street at all)

next one I build is trailer only with vins stripped and IM buying kit car status if I do anything.

This crap has got to stop. One school bus is like 100 cars for week running with no cats

/\/\/\ im telling you all.
out of state plates.

cattle ranches produce more hazardous gasses (not to mention all of the "solid" waste) than automobiles do.

cali_love · 06-17-2009, 10:47 PM

yeah .. i was there ! ! good thing my car passed ! i think it was around 10 to 11:30 there was a chp

steve shadows · 06-18-2009, 12:05 AM

they actually ran your car?

what happens if you dont pass?

do they get you on your knees and shoot you in the head?

Like the mobile Chinease capital punishment units/vans (to keep your organs warm)

R@ddy · 06-18-2009, 12:35 AM

fuuuck! good thing im stock! i go through there everyday! well except today, its my day off

SUPERSTAR · 06-18-2009, 12:52 AM

I'm a gross poluter but my SR car passes smog.

adrians_s13 · 06-18-2009, 01:16 AM

adrians_s13 · 06-18-2009, 01:16 AM

charlie321 · 06-18-2009, 01:25 AM

free pass for new cars only

Brian · 06-18-2009, 08:49 AM

They didn't stop me. 1994 J30.

At that time they were running an Expedition on the machine and a Honda Prelude was next in line. Fuck that. I'm driving that way again. I'll try to take a photo.

cali_love · 06-18-2009, 11:04 AM

no they dont take youre car away ... they will just give you a fixing ticket .. they take away the car if they dont have any insurance , driver license or current registration

Brian · 06-18-2009, 11:05 AM

It is GONE today, by the way.

BIG_J · 06-19-2009, 10:01 PM

i went by that but i was in my work truck

soreballz · 06-19-2009, 10:49 PM

lol, I went through several of those smog checkpoints in my S13. One of those times, I was running an open downpipe with no cat, and expired registration (just got the car running after it was sitting for two months). Another time, I was running a 3inch Apexi N1 with no cat.
Never once did they make me stop. They always waved me through.

I also went through a DUI checkpoint while I was stoned one time. I was sweating bullets and nearly shit myself, but they waved me through. lol

Maybe I'm just lucky?
