Hi DCB,

there are some laws about some things, but not many relating to emissions.

I haven't heard of emissions tests being done on vehicles. In the 80's
they used to check that you didn't disable the pollution controls on
carby motors.

Actually, we have pretty much the same freedom as in the States
to chop up cars and do what we like. No problem gutting the cat.
It's certainly more liberal than europe where you need an engineering
report just to install a new air filter.

Actually.. nobody really cares what we do, except for things like
flashing coloured lights. Pollution is fine - lights are illegal.
