S**t I am in trouble!  Of my three cars only one has all its emissions gear in place.

If you spot one, better just dip the clutch, knock it into neutral and coast past.

Would have thought the emissions from larger vehicles would be a bigger issue.

Hard to tell what they could actually measure but it could become another cash cow for governments to milk !

It doesn\'t actually say anything about fines, it seems like more of a research project... For now at least ;)

Seems it\'s measuring heat output in the exhaust emissions !
 
We are all screwed !:flamed

So providing on I\'m pushing max boost and the screamer is open, it will pick up a huge heat bloom - the operator will assume the camera is duff and I will be *fine* :Giggle

Not a bad idea that!  Fit anti-lag so it bangs and farts at idle too and they can\'t even get you in traffic jams.

As far as I\'m aware, there aren\'t actually any laws that state that you can have your vehicle taken off of you if your emissions are high, I thought that was why 06 onwards RX8s paid so much "vehicle excise duty"?
