Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

Hah!
You coulda had a sqwerl latched on to you... it running away might not be the worst option. Um.... not that I've ever been bitten by a squirrel.

Where do you start on the trail? How long do you ride? If you aren't super hardcore about it and want company sometime lemme know, I'm off on Fridays after 11.

 

hey guys I plan on shipping my car up to the bay soon. I am running HIDs and clear corners on my 1st gen.. I was wondering if that would be okay for inspection once my truck arrives? Or should I be more worried about smog? My tint is also 35% in the front and 20% from the rear windows to the back. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

 

Haha good point, im just glad i didnt end up with the dog latching onto me.

Usually in San Lorenzo by the Sanitation plant, its usually 45 mins to an hour since ill ride to the SM bridge and back at a decent pace and thats 7-8 miles round trip i think.
Naw im not too hardcore about it, youre welcome to tag along.

Also Lake Chabot sucks for biking.

 

There's no inspection here other than smog. As long as your check engine light does not come on (don't unplug it) you have a legal intake, and you have intact cats I think you're okay. Tint doesn't matter in the back. You CAN get a ticket for the front sides. I know people who have 35% and never got a ticket. Light interior helps it not look so dark. Or simply roll down the windows when driving by a cop.

 

The HIDs should be fine, not sure on the tint, and yeah be more worried about smog than anything, Cali is strict when it comes to it.

 

^^ Thank you guys for the very fast responses! I haven't seen many tacomas yet in the bay?? Where they all at? haha

 

Prolly at work lol.
Wait till the weekend and youll see them errywhere.

 

HOLY SHIT!
Fox was Live streaming a police chase and they ended up Live casting the dude committing suicide.
Fuuuuuuu.

 

Aww man I missed it. Oh well. One less thug to worry about. What city?

 

I'll trade you my 285 KM2s with 55k miles on them... straight trade or no deal! :lol:

 

Google it. Video is online already.

Not that bad (graphics wise). Guy basically did a face plant after he put the gun to his head. Whole thing (after he stopped) was supposed to be on a 5s delay. From what I saw, it looked like they never switched to the delay feed.

 

im just surprised they actually aired it, i havent watched tv in maybe 5 months so i was like wut

 

Wow wish you guys could just see what I saw on Fiddyment. First gen with db 6" lift up front and stock height on the back... yukk!

 

Yeah I found the vid. He just does a face flop. No blood. No splatter. Oh well.

 

Yeah i know but its entertaining that the footage actually slipped through.
That dude was tweakin

 

Just saw the video.... wow....and whoops fox....

 

Is it bad if my rear shocks are at max height during normal ride? As in my leaf springs lift my end up high enough that the rear shocks don't go any higher. They're brand new so they should drop a tiny bit down but I'm not sure. Can this be a problem for my rear shocks? I'm not sure how much strain it's putting on them.

 

I would say yes because that means that you can't really flex without having your shocks bottom out. I'd flex the rear end and order some new shocks.

 

Well I can't really test my flex yet because my leafs are still brand new and haven't been broken in yet. How would my shocks prevent flex if they're at full extension? Or are you saying they're just not long enough since my leafs max them out their extension?

 

Your shocks will be toast if you drive like that. You need longer shocks even with the springs settling it will still be too much.
