Hood poppings in socal? Options

[mrgrape]

k ive been away for a while looking at the 240 forums.
in here i never heard of illegal engines...or even yet how bad CA enforcement is on mods.
Reading 240sx forums, ive gained an insight on how much of a pain in the ass it is to have a nice tuned car without getting it impounded or reffed.

anyways back to the point, test drove a s14 sr20det today and wow it was pure balls...300 RWHP
the car looks stock/black coated exhaust/no tint/
as long as i drive normal, and keep my foot on clutch and coast in neutral around cops, wont i be fine and not have any probable cause for them to pop my hood?

asking 6gc for an unbias view on running illegal engines under the hood in socal
2 points:it will be my daily driver 20 mile commute and ill be driving slow in the slow lane.

Then don't do it. Knowing you, your car would get impounded. LOL Just saying dude, don't get mad, because of your other topics. You should just stick with your car. I believe things happen for a reason. If your celica looks rice, then I guess mine looks rice too. I have only gotten pulled over once and that was for my license plate on my dash. Now with the GT4 front, I just keep it in the car next to the passenger seat in case I get pulled over, I just say it fell off.

I had a cop follow me across town but didn't pull me over with the way it looks now, because when I had gotten pulled over I didn't have an exhaust, GT4 spoiler, or front at the time. People expect me to get pulled over for how my car looks, but I even was caught doing 80MPH in the Merging lane and cut off a Sheriff on the freeway and still didn't get pulled over. So watch yourself. They tend to go after the cars that are more popular for being modified. I have also noticed if I wear aviator glasses, for some reason they never look at me twice. LOL I know that doesn't help, but in some way it almost seems like it, because without, then I do get that second look. But I don't look like a trouble maker, and I don't really do anything crazy so....
