California state referee ticket

Hey everyone i recently got a state referee ticket and i been gettting alot of mixed comments about it. Some people tell me im going to HAVE to put everything stock back on it. (prolly run me about $4000) Other people tell me i Could just skip the state referee ticket and pay the fine and some people tell me i gotta flunk the test then go to court and show em i flunked and pay the fine.

So this cop was a dick he saw my fuel pressure regulator and he said that was illegal and gave me a state referee ticket the ticket reads as follows..

27150(a)ve loud exhaust correctale? (yes) / no

27156 alterred emissions correctable? yes / (no)

cali state referee req'd

_________________________________
So can i just pay the fine what should i expect?? if you guys can help me out i really apreciate it thank you!!

PS i was just planing on paying the fine and leaving my car the way it is I called the alhambra court but they said that the ticket wasnt in the system yet to call back in 3 weeks.


any ideas??

My honest answer is to wait 3 weeks, and if you can, ask a passing cop. Or when ever your at a public place like the mall or a starbucks ask any off duty police officer for the advice.

same thing happen to me a week ago...
except the cop pulled me over and said " I just came out off school...
where they are teaching us how to tell if you car is illegally moded and wanted to see if it's true"

so he gave me a ticket for exhaust and threaten to take it to a dismantle shop waiting to get my ticket in the mail!

and after he gave me the ticket he said " I am into cars to but I have a mustang at home, they are better than civic's"
then walked into his car.

everything everything...

so **** that i dont have any of the stock internals or parts for that matter..

im gonna have to buy a new standalone ecu from honda or the junk yard i mean its to much of a mission im 20 and i still look young so if i gotta talk to the judge to pay the fines instead of converting my car to stock im claim i got the car like this and cry LOL... hopefully it wont get to that point because i spent way to much money and time getting my car to this freaking level

Re: California state referee ticket

I just got a ticket too...Im giving up on the game and decommissioning my car. Because the state can't budget their books, now they're cracking down and squeezing the people for more money anyway they can.

I think our hobby just died this July 1 09.

Sorry guys, getting another car.
