An extensive mod to the front of a car, changes the way it crashes into other cars, changes the way it collides with pedestrians - something that is only now being looked at in earnest !
Engine mods certainly won't all be aimed at reducing fuel consumption. And even those that are, will have a very good chance / certainty of increasing engine pollution in the process.
Bottom line, you can't let people do as they please, because it'll always affect other people.

Or that is how we are told to think.
Minor issue is shot with major limitation, it has always been minority that change their vehicles and even smaller percentage getting to accidents.
Why only fuel consumption decreasing should be allowed? I think any reasonable mod could be allowed, there are yearly inspections where cars are checked, they can easily tell what is making vehicle worse and what is making it better, if it is borderline, then test.
I think that is basic problem, we are told how good this limitation is how it saves lives etc, but nicely and neatly is forgotten to present those savings in context.
It is theme of this era, everything is marketed as huge savior, but when you do homework and put things in context you find meaningless playing that has made huge effect to freedom. That is how it is good intention but gone overboard.
Same with cameras and every aspect, they are making bull out of a fly on purpose. With cameras they sell security but are really giving a prison. We are horribly close to 1984 world already so close that I feel really sick and am thinking a lot about moving away from EU area.
