If I remember correctly, VA outlawed the use of nitrous on the streets in June/July 2004 or June/July 2005. I don't remember which exactly, I'm just pretty sure it was outlawed sometime during the summer just before I either bought my kit or before I installed it. Anyway, as far as I understand, you can have the bottle and it can have the gas, but your feed line may not be hooked up. If your bottle is on the hump, get one of those 860 Performance or NX wing-man nuts and if you get pulled over, unscrew your line.

I don't know the penalty if you get caught, but you can get a ticket. I have, however, only heard stories of judges not knowing what nitrous is or not caring, and throwing the ticket out.

I'm just going to obey the law and not use nitrous...

If you get pulled over, and your windows are tinted.. and you're moving around in your car (unscrewing the feed line) you're liable to turn around to a gun in your face.
Cops get REALLY edgy when the car is moving around and they can't see in. Been there.. done that.

I was stationed in Virginia and got pulled over with the bottle between the back seats. I have a remote opener and told him it was closed and the system was off and showed him. He said ok and gave me a ticket for my window tint

Running around with the bottle on the hump is asking for trouble. Be it from a cop or some punk your advertising and looking for the attention. Sooner or later your gonna get what your looking for but it might not be what you want. No reason to have a bottle on the hump in a street car unless your looking for trouble.

Pics?? I'm lookin on doing that. I NEVAR let PPL sit there. Ir behind the driver seat on the floor. If I have room for it, I'll do it there. but like was said, it's secluded in the spare well. -And I can rig a BD tube thru there easier. I'd rather not drill a hole in the floor of the main compartment.

I finally installed the 860 mount sometime last month. Very clean and nice installation, dosen't seem like it will be all that hard to get the bottle in and out.

I like having it in the wheelwell cause I like my cars really clean looking, mounting the bottle in the passanger space would eventually drive me nuts.

Yep thats me.
Will do, have to make a final decision on what setup I'm going to run. Should last a little while, I'm going to run a FJO controller. Deciding on wet or dry right now, all I know for sure is that my ZEX box is for sale.
Oh yeah and I haven't worked in 3 weeks, so have to wait for the money flow to start again also.

Is it possible, or has anyone mounted there bottle under the other panel in the back (the one that's opposite the spare tire)? Why not? Or is there just not enough space?

I'm thinking that if there is room there, that would be a better place for me, becuase my battery is relocated in the spare tire compartment. I could fit the bottle there but it would be a bad ratio of weight (right side would be heavy as ****).

Also, that is the first place someone would look to see if you have nitrous. (Going for the stealthy look.)

Thanks!!
