It’s like the old shop brother, except it’s big big brother being a dick now not the landlord. I haven’t seen you this upset since I mixed e85 in my car with no tune. I’m about to leave this country.
this is what happens when you stay out of politics… It is past time to organize… SEMA is a joke, they are basically the lobbing arm for auto enthusiasts and they aren’t doing a good, should take notes from the NRA.
@@James_cowley NRA has not been successful or properly handling the situation either. The plaintiffs who just won a Federal Court Judge decision and ruling in California declaring a decades old ban on AR rifles as Unconstitutional are among those to folow and learn from along with the Four others who sued their Governors and won Federal Court Judge decisions and ruling agaisnst their Governors' Authoritative Orders [in KY in July 2020, in PA in Spetember 2020, in NY & CA in December 2020, and Supreme Court decided for those plaintiffs in NY & CA in November 2020, giving them immediate relief while awaiting their Federal Court decision]. NOW is the time, is seems, to get together a proper suit against these Authoritarians and violators of the US Constitution, Amendments and State Constitutions. Sincerely
Don't forget about the FBI, IRS,DOJ,CIA,DEA and all the rest they are going to use to destroy our freedom and demoralize us until we give in to "the Great Reset" where "you will own nothing and be happy".
It's a shame not enough people saw this coming down the pipeline 20+ yrs ago and stopped these tyrranical bureaucrats. I think we should hold a protest at Nixon's grave in CA, they're having a drought, I bet the grass could use some "watering", least we all could do to thank him for the wonderful legacy he left us.
Brent, I hate that you are going through this fight with the epa. We all need to be calling our representatives and keep calling them to try and make a real difference in our lives. We are seen as the "bad guys" to those in power who are making these decisions that affect us daily. Keep up the fight, we have power in numbers!!
Hear hear. I believe part of the problem though is you're not seen at all. It's people getting out there like you, PFI etc. who need to be as loud as anything, louder than the EPA pens. These rules will get all the way to NASCAR, so it's time the big boys threw their weight behind protecting liberties and lifestyles along with ARCA to go to their gov reps. Hey, over in Europe they now want our race bikes to be 'quiet' and we be like, huh?
calling wont do anything just dont comply they cant do anything if alll the community does not comply but hey hopefully the "community" doesnt comply just like they did with the plandemic
Mate first hello from Australia, second were all here too for you guys , we share the same tyranny that you do as well . This is a world wide collective and we have all your backs in this in any way we can . Basically as soon as our dictator's smell this were in the firing line too !! Fuuuck that mate fuck them all . We're all going underground if they do this . They cannot and will not stop us from doing what we want to do. It's impossible. Just remember that.
@@FuryMotoWorks say what... over here in europa, we would never blame a company selling car modifications. we don't preach "liberty" and "freedom" but actually have much more freedom to do what we want. (except the gun thing off course :-) )
1000% behind you, brother Brent! I'm making as much noise as I can, sending RPM Act emails to my reps, sending the SEMA link to all my friends and family. WE WILL NOT COMPLY!!!
My 2 cents: 18k sucks but it’s much, much better than what it could be. Fighting this single penalty is futile, they will steamroll you. Comply with whatever you can, set up a 30 yr payment plan (or whatever you can afford) with the treasury, and move on to bigger brighter things. If you are going to fight; your time, energy, and resources will be better spent in joining a group to collectively work on changing the legislation and protecting racing by changing the way the clean air act is written. We weren’t sued by the epa or any government agency for that matter, our lawsuit was brought by a private group of environmentalists who ended up treating us much more unfairly than the epa would have; in fact we begged the epa to take our case instead of letting the private group sue and they told us that we didn’t have enough violations (less than 20) to make it worth pursuing. It sucks but believe me, it could be worse.
Damn tree huggin hippies. Racing’s been around since early 1900’s and USA has some of the best emissions production in the world. But this is the new world we live in...
Fighting it is gonna suck so if he chooses to, hopefully he gets the support he needs so others don't have to. Keeping your head down is one strategy but when you finally look back up, you may not recognize anything. People think the auto industry is small but they can make a small group seem bigger than actually is, while also making a large one seem small. How many auto parts stores are in your town?
IF this EPA wins this then even farming cotton will be affected as no t-shirts from all these tuning companys will sold, no need for staff printing them, no need for companys delivering these t-shirts. The list goes on, many more will get unemployed! Less farming equipment sold. It affects so many more than those selling car-parts!!!
Clay I met you you at English town a few years back we just talked lol 2 old friends you are the man love ya buddy and we are all here for Brent and pfi .
It’s because we the people aren’t actually doing anything but signing internet petitions and begging the epa not to take our stuff away… WHAT WE SHOULD BE DOING IS REMINDING THEM WHO THEY WORK FOR!!!
@@eriklarson9137 hey man, just doing what I can to help. I noticed he put it in the description but didn’t mention it at all In the video. 🤷🏼♂️ plus people were asking about go fund me so figured I could spread the word 😂

@@mustangdemon87 But Biden told China & Russia , Oh that's ok, you can sell oil & pollute all you want and I will completely stop all oil lines sales in the US. costing millions of good jobs putting everybody in the US in total poverty. By this he means in his first 6 months back in office gas prices from when he left office as VP gas was 4 bucks a gallon , ( Trump had it down to $1.85 a gallon in 4 years ) Will guess what ? with Biden back in office gas is now 4 bucks a gallon AGAIN !

The pain in his voice, and look in his eyes is unforgettable. Over the years We've all watched PFI grow into such an amazing brand filled with honest and good people. Its so sickening to physically see the EPA attempting to bankrupt the entire motorsports industry all for THEIR profit. This blatant attack on the industry and car community will be far more detrimental then the emissions coming out of our modified cars.
Hi PFI Speed, I went through this myself in past, and I want to say sorry to hear about what you are dealing with, I know how gut wrenching it is for you, family, and employees. Feel free to reach out to me personally, would be happy to help advise and give you update on the RPM ACT. I Had a meeting last week with SEMA about the EPA, maybe I can get you in contact with them as well.
I love how he still puts a smile on his face at the end of this video with a damn electric car. The EPA is hurting our industry, our pockets, our lives, to help their pocket. We are with ya all the way Brent!!!!! You, your team, and everyone else in the industry!!!!!
It's not about money. The federal government makes it from thin air. Money is weaponized and our system is built on it. Currency is the number they choose your life is worth. Some green smelly radioactive paper that they forgot to put proposition 65 on. This so called attack was pre-planned before any of us were born. The real innovation will be hot rodding with no pump gas. Make fuel from blackwater if you have to......
The pain in Brent's eyes actually kills me. He such a genuine dude not a bad bone in the man's body. I had to stop watching I can't see that man so upset
It's really is messed up stuff like this is what kills guys like Brent the man legit looked defeated. I love that guy an I'm all the way over in Australia. That's why I stopped watching I can't stand to see someone like Brent out of all people to get kicked in the guts like this Seeing the pain in he's eyes honestly killed me I just wanted to jump through my screen an give that man a hug
"When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty." Thomas Jefferson. Hang In there, you're on the front line of the war, you must not change who you are.
Funny how quiet all you southerners were when Trump tyranny threatened your democracy.....apparently that sort of tyranny is ok but threaten your cars and you're all tough as shit.
Brent, seeing the way you actively fight off negative emotions in real-time is honestly something everyone should be taking notes on. It's incredible watching a master at work. The way you refuse to allow yourself to be miserable for any more than a few seconds is honestly legendary. You already know this, but I couldn't possibly respect you any more than I already do. You help Sara so much. I proudly think of you as my friend.
This one made me pretty emotional, not gonna lie, I've never met Brent, but I see one of the most passionate, hardest working, rad dude in the automotive industry. We need to share this video on all platforms. The way things are, there is going to be another civil war.
Exactly! Going after auto enthusiasts? Ridiculous. If the government cared about the environment they would go after the major corporations, which produce the vast majority of our nations emissions. Orrrr improve public transportation, so non-enthusiasts can get to work and back without driving at all. But they won’t do that, because the REAL polluters are lining the politicians pockets..
@@sethallison5682 Or nasty china who gives 0 f's about emmisions and pollution. Or the politicians GIANT jets going NON STOP, to go sign or debate dumb bills.
@@baileyhatfield4273 Russia, India, China are dumping pollution into the air and plastic into the ocean and there’s no significant sign of them letting up. Not saying the United States is completely innocent either… but what percentage of motorists are enthusiasts? 1-3%????
It's so heartbreaking seeing one of the most positive guys in the TH-cam car community getting torn up like this.... I dont even know what else to say, I just feel so freaking sad. You're a legend Brent, keep ripping!
I wanna see Budwiser, and everyone else charged every time someone gets a DUI. Its the end users responsibility to know how to properly use the products. This is pure bullshit and nothing else.
The EPA doesn't care about how clean these cars run, there usages ect... The way they're going about this shows this isn't about the environment, this is about control and profit.
Absolutely, this is the current administrations push for exactly what they promised... the establishment didn't "bail out" those "too big to fail" with our money for no reason... it's been a long processes of strong arming and driving in the final nails is all.
I spent the last 4 years of my OWN TIME and my OWN money, with almost ZERO shop assistance, swapping a standalone ecu, a larger turbo, some injector dynamics 1050x, a 5 speed transmission, a big better responding cam, removed the EGR mud. I am PROUD of the work I've done, I've made this car run as efficiently as possible without wasting gas, without ever HAVING HAD a cat on the car at all. It kills me to see tears in your eyes, Brent! Always been such a positive mascot for this type of hot rodding, I take more from you the responsibility involved and not just GOING FAST! I hope there's some things we can all do to prevent them from taking a whole chunk of your business and livelyhood away.
Brent just seams so uncharacteristic. Dudes pissed. I dont think iv ever seen him so stern. Brent here is a big hi five for just being so damn awesome. This sucks. Love my dude.
The feeling you get when the Federal Government is trying to fuck you is one that most people can not assume until it happens to them... The illusion that everything is done for a reason goes away and you realize just how fucked up and broken system is. This system doesn't flinch when you kill yourself because it's destroyed your entire life, it just wants it's money, by any means necessary.
It's hard to see someone as genuine as Brent hurt like that. The man is holding back tears. I for 1 signed it months ago. I hope everyone goes and signs it ....
Damn man, am I the only one who's blood boils an stomach turns to see Brent so upset....? 😕 Dude always seems so happy and genuine to everyone and is always building his buddies up... I hope you guys keep your heads up and find the way pull through all this. ✌
It’s honestly diesel guys like you Brettly who started this shit. It’s all the idiots who roll coal and deleted diesel emission equipment wide scale and made a business out of it who accelerated this to happen. Remember that when you get into your bro dozer everyday.
Brent, I hope that you got my heart meant message with my PayPal. I also hope you read it. As a performance shop owner, this is all bullshit. We modify and alter vehicles daily, it’s what feeds our families and what pays for our homes. We here at DDSS support what y’all do and are here to help. Love you guys!
@@PFIBrent no, thank you for all the awesome content y’all put you. Your the man. I happy to be apart of this with y’all. Good luck! Anything we can do to help let me know!
This is your passion. The world sees you, I’m from Australia 🇦🇺 and we have your back, there has got to be a lawyer that watches your channel. Seeing you so upset mate shows the love you have for what you do. We love you pfi
I donated back when you all were in need of a shop, and I donated again today. Brent and the PFI guys are some of the most humble, selfless people I’ve met and they deserve our support 100 percent.
If Brent goes down we all go down. When someone that is as happy as Brent is breaks down, what hope do those of us with weak coping skills have? This is it, people. This is where we make our stand.
Garrett is staying far away from this stuff. one of the largest car channels and the only vid he posted was on his second channel, then took that and hid it inside another vid on his main channel
what do you think garrets gonna do when they start dinging him and motion race works on there parts, this shit is not good, and does anyone know if i can sign it if i live in canada or does it not apply
I’m sorry to hear this, Brent! What this means to me is “Don’t document your build”. The worst part is NO ONE AT THE EPA IS AN ELECTED OFFICIAL! Nobody should have the power to affect an entire industry like this.
Right. The EPA does not make the laws or sign them. They can't really fine you because they should be a separate entity from the government. I'll do more research. 🤔
@@fusionsportdaily1650 Any government regulatory agency has the power to do whatever they please. Doesn't matter if it relates to environmental, labor, alcohol, pew pews, its a rigged system entirely in their favor. It's complete and utter bullshit.
SAVE BRENT!! SAVE PFISPEED!! Brent is literally one of the best human beings on the planet! He does not deserve this. Let's all sign that SEMA form and get this crap overturned.
I've signed it when brent has shared the link, cletus, and cooper. It needs to be put in all auto stores and on all online sites for them to be signed by everyone
Brent one of the nicest guys out there, reduced to tears. This made me cry, man. Honestly. I really struggled to watch this and I feel for you. This shit needs to stop!
Yes it was hard to see him like that and so unfair , but I think this is the future and he won’t have a choice , I live in Australia and have seen how fast electric cars are selling here , they are insainly fast and relatively cheap to buy , at some point we will run out of fuel supplies and I can’t see any other way around what the are trying to do , I’m not a greenie and love drag cars but just can’t see away around this probleme
Yup. Wnd I hope ot doesn't turn to this in this country but one day really good men might have to do really bad things of you're catching what im throwing
@@traxxasrcfun I catch it, and I agree. I thought it would have happened by now.. I don’t know what it’s going to take? From censorship of ppl with a certain political view to releasing members of a certain “group” of individuals that burn cities, fight law enforcement, and take over cities (sounds a lot like “antifa”) lol Even if ppl aren’t interested in politics, what happened in the election, this is a prime example of where we are headed as Americans. It’s a shitshow, and it’s only going to get worse.
Hang in there Brent and PFI, this video literally broke my heart to see how hurt you guys are. If we the viewers can do anything to help, please let us know. Much love guys
It is without a doubt incredibly jarring to see someone like Brent, someone I’ve watched for years, who is endlessly cheerful, inspirational, and positive towards the car scene have to go through this. If I was state side I’d be signing the RPM act immediately. If not for the entire community just for PFIspeeds sake. I hope for everyone in the US this goes through so you guys can all keep doing what makes you and so many others happy. With love from New Zealand ❤️
Hello, PFI Putting my two cents in here. This came to me last night watching more and more people getting hit with EPA fines. The Presidential motorcade are VIN vehicles that are heavy modified for protection. These vehicles HAD to be TUNED to operate as per OEM. Thanks for the awesome vids.
Sgt Mayfield here, n i stand with all motorsport enthusiasts. Cars saved my life from various aspects of self destruction, even thoughts of ending it all. Between you, Cleetus, BoostedBoiz, n the whole 1320 fam, you guys make it fun to be a car guy. The fact the government always puts there hands in the pockets of citizens who try to inspire the youth to do something other than the detrimental activities glorified in other forms of entertainment is truly sickening. I will continue building in my off time, and promoting those who do the same. This thing we love shall not be infringed!!!!
Man watching you look at Shane and crying rips my heart out.knowing that your trying your best to keep kids on the track and not in the streets doing bad. I’m your newest biggest fan bro your awesome keep fighting the good fight for the young men behind us. YOUR ONE COOL DUDE AND AWESOME FATHER.
It's really sad when a hard working family man like yourself tries to build a business, instill family values in your kids, and do the right thing in life has to endure a bunch of beurocratic bs like this. My heart truly breaks for the entire aftermarket performance industry. We love you Brent and all of the PFI Boosted Boiz family. Stay strong brother❤❤
Brother... I feel ya. I am so sorry. I am a car guy and a small business owner too. It is tough! The shakedowns are real! Stay focused on the good and keep your tenacity!
“We are trying to Build race cars, have a good time, Rip it with our friends, stay out of trouble stay out of drugs stay out of crap”. Those words are our passion brothers. Keep rippin ❤️🎩
Your a nice guy Brent stay strong keep doing what you love. You made a good point these people pushing these things will be causing more damage with the private jets etc
Brent, consult lawyers that specializes in this field, don't give in to their demands, if you do that will keep coming at you ! Maybe start a "Go Fund me" for your legal expenses. I'm very sorry they are putting you through this. With love and respect from Canada 🇨🇦 !
Saw Brent to start crying man and I lost it man 😭 We are all here for PFI. We'll do whatever we can do brother 💪 Love all of you guys man, stay strong.
It absolutely breaks my heart to see Brent who's such a happy, take-it-in-stride guy so upset that he's about to cry. This is our hobby, our, our happiness, our passion, our family, and our livelihood, and we need to come together to prevent these damn alphabet boys from coming after our car family!
@@emmanuelmeris5841 I've been building and racing specifically imports for over 23 years now. So take your assumptions and do whatever you feel appropriate. If you're going to stick your neck out there and run a business like I do it's intelligent to seek out those before you who have done so so mistakes aren't made like this one.

Dude im crying with you we a small shop in South Africa 🇿🇦 and even all the stuff that impacts the us impacts us we will stand by you no matter what happens strongs dude Love,Honor,Respect bro
Don’t underestimate your extended TH-cam fam. If it gets too thick PFI, reach out to your viewers as I’m sure we’ll pull you the rest of the way out to the other side. Like the shop situation, I donated like so many others because we see value in the entertainment content we see on this channel so it doesn’t hurt to invest here and keep this thing alive.
Woah, hit me really hard seeing Brent this upset. I'm from Sweden and we have fairly strict laws and the 'merican car-family has always pushed the industry forward and leaving us here wishing we were a part of it. Keep on fighting, you have a huge support from all of us
We just need to get this whole community together imports domestic exotics four-cylinder six cylinder or eight cylinders 12 Motorcycles mopeds or golf carts we all need to stand together and say enough is enough
Yes. Regardless of your age or predilection for power and adders. Love for a company, a motor, or a set up. This hits all of us, those that watch, or race, regardless of scene.
Hey PFI, I`m crying with you, I was so jealous you could do anything to your cars and drive around, because here in Germany we have so strikt rules for modefying cars. It`s so hard to see GOV is killing onest "small buisnesses" I wish you all the best for these crap. BLESSED BE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cant forget his good friend cleetus is a co owner of motion race works. I’m sure they got lawyers willing to help because there next. If they already haven’t gone through it. Magnaflow , hondata, link all the other “dealers” for these brands.
Sad to see Brent on the verge of tears. People outside of this world think it’s just a bunch of dumb people modifying their cars to purposely put out emissions and ruin the planet. Sad when they truly have no idea why we do what we do. We are all here for you Brent!
Seeing Brent cry actually hurt. I've never known him to be down. We need to do something.. I think us as a car community needs to do something. Not talking just this channel. I'm talking the whole fam damily. The whole car scene. Prove to them what we are doing is legit. All the emission stuff they're putting on vehicles now is doing worse than what we're doing if you really think about it and look at what they're putting on our vehicles. They think they're doing right which in reality they're doing the complete opposite. Something needs to be done other than sending a letter I filled out the RPM act so many times and honestly probably not doing a damn thing. Brett keep your head up buddy we'll get through this, keep the foot down.
Indeed bro same here 😔 this is not right and makes me mad because I always built my cars and support aftermarket manufacturers since the late 90's... I signed the rpm act last month when cleetus was talking about it at the beginning of one of his videos and gave a link
Dude's a hero to so many, it does hurt. This episode was a sign of the future. Maybe PFI will look toward more methanol builds? The first Tesla on the dyno! Think about the mental leap from horse and buggy to internal combustion. People adapted and folks like Brent made the industry grow. I'd love to see the shop dive into hybrid, electric power adders both induction (superchargers) and hub motor systems or even a full electric build. Fortify the combustion builds/mods end and add as much new tech to push the industry ahead.
@@DonariaRegia dude he got a methanol distill in his shop..just epa dont want any damn car modify to owner needs when they approved nascar but saying street cars cant be modify or tune to be a race car wtf is nascar then!
I signed it, heard back from my senators and local reps, they agree this is BS….but I live in Florida where there still some freedom left. Start a go fund me, tell me where, you’re a good dude, you helped me in an email about my god sons Honda…I owe you bro.
Dude man.. U got a bad case of stickittothemaniosis..... Youre one of the best guys and u take all the hits for us, so thanks man. We're watching and learning.

"For offroad use only" Google it! It's companies way of say "race happened in Mexico" basically takes liability out of your hands and into the vehicle owners.

But the epa is going after all cars manufactured in a factory for street use being modified so they can fine u even tho it says off road use only any conpany selling parts that modifies a stock car can get hit pure cash grab bullshit trying to tear apart a whole lot of years of racing heritage and advancement this is shamefull and goes against the people of the united states of america killing a 288 billion dollar a year industry
@@michaels.ramsey7803 It's now illegal to install the parts on a factory made vehicle at all, even if it's a dedicated race car. That's what the EPA is now trying to enforce.

Hey Brent what about hitting up heavy D for some advice seeing as they already went through this with the EPA. Also definitely do some kind of fun raiser to pay the fees
heavy d was targeted for a couple trucks... brent is targeted for 37 ecu's .... the only thing he could do to work with them is pretend that he can flash those ecus to stock from where he is. he needs to just counter sue them and get a go fund me going .... has to go against a fuck ton of your rights out there in the usa
@@onetime7214 that's not going to fix anything. The ecu's in question are likely s300s installed in p28s or p06s. An s300 is considered a "defeat device" in the eyes of the EPA. That fact that its installed in a factory honda ecu is the issue. Putting a stock tune on it isnt going to get them off his back, anyone with a laptop could just load a different tune on it after the fact. This has to do with allowing the end use to disable emissions controls on the factory honda ecu.
@@оначертовасука Well..

I hear you Brent and Jamie and everyone over at PFI speed I have signed the pact and will continue to tune and race my civic ek hatch and awd Audi you guys have Inspired me with a lot of fab work and tuning from watching all your videos keep it up and don’t stop pushing
I believe this is the first time I've ever seen you that upset. Usually smiling through everything. The most frustrating part is when you try to make people understand whats happening they just think it wont effect them. Well when you can no longer buy parts to modify and enjoy your cars its damn sure going to affect you! I'm truly sorry you're going through this Brent. 😔
Remember when Congress tried to ban all personal repairs and parts sales? There was a petition in every parts store, we all signed it and the bill fell through. Together we can win. Organize and talk with other organizers. Do another live stream so we can superchat donations to cover legal expenses!
Man I was just sitting here thinking the same thing and he should do a live video for discussions and maybe donations so we as a whole comunity of car enthusiast might be able to help cover some legal expenses if such a situation arises. Like Brent said we need to build something maybe we could help donate toward a build that might be able to be raffled off to help Finance all this legal shit that Brent and the Pfi family are going through. All because the man wants to put his hand out into pocket of the everyday hardworking average American instead of the pockets of these multibillion-dollar corporations that's whose pocket the man should be putting his hand into everyday. And every day that goes by is another day that's taken away somebody's dreams because of our government they don't want to see nobody succeed that's middle class or lower class I thought America was for the People by the people and that's proving to be not the case anymore
This is the most difficult PFI speed video I have ever had to watch. 😢 It's heartbreaking to see how hard these guys to build something and every step of the way they are forced to take two steps back.
This topic i(s hitting) multiple shops in "the tuning Sphere" i would recommend to join with all tuners to pay the court case(s) or start/join a lobbyist organization with independent tuner/repair shops. Whatever work in the us legislative branch.
Class action lawsuits is the only thing going to stop the Epa...unfortunately I don't think the rpm act will do anything...I have read it and it does not stop the Epa from attacking and rearranging the wording to fit there sick agenda. Class action lawsuits is THE ONLY thing going to stop the Epa from dying what they are doing...
They sold for off-road only parts to be used on street cars….they broke a law that was never really enforced and profited from it and though it would never be enforced…..nothing wrong happened here tbh if you don’t pay your registration you car gets towed yeah it sucks but it’s the law…..
@@chelly9456 i disagree. Just because they sold off road parts to someone who may or may not have used them on a street car should not make pfi liable for the car owners use of the speed part. Same as arresting smith and Wesson for someone using the gun in a murder. If the part says not for off road use and the person uses it for the opposite it should not be pfi's responsibility to make sure customers proper use of an item. Total over reach by the EPA...
Epa law says only factory equipment that means only factory oil,spark plugs, tires. Also means no oriellys or autozone parts factory dealer part only from what I read years ago in a law book.

The plaintiffs who just won a Federal Court Judge decision and ruling in California declaring a decades old ban on AR rifles as Unconstitutional are among those to folow and learn from along with the Four others who sued their Governors and won Federal Court Judge decisions and ruling agaisnst their Governors' Authoritative Orders [in KY in July 2020, in PA in Spetember 2020, in NY & CA in December 2020, and Supreme Court decided for those plaintiffs in NY & CA in November 2020, giving them immediate relief while awaiting their Federal Court decision].

It's a shame not enough people saw this coming down the pipeline 20+ yrs ago and stopped these tyrranical bureaucrats. I think we should hold a protest at Nixon's grave in CA, they're having a drought, I bet the grass could use some "watering", least we all could do to thank him for the wonderful legacy he left us.
Brent, I hate that you are going through this fight with the epa. We all need to be calling our representatives and keep calling them to try and make a real difference in our lives. We are seen as the "bad guys" to those in power who are making these decisions that affect us daily. Keep up the fight, we have power in numbers!!
Hear hear. I believe part of the problem though is you're not seen at all. It's people getting out there like you, PFI etc. who need to be as loud as anything, louder than the EPA pens. These rules will get all the way to NASCAR, so it's time the big boys threw their weight behind protecting liberties and lifestyles along with ARCA to go to their gov reps. Hey, over in Europe they now want our race bikes to be 'quiet' and we be like, huh?
Well said Kevin !! , “Strength in numbers BOYZ!”
calling wont do anything just dont comply they cant do anything if alll the community does not comply but hey hopefully the "community" doesnt comply just like they did with the plandemic

1000% behind you, brother Brent! I'm making as much noise as I can, sending RPM Act emails to my reps, sending the SEMA link to all my friends and family. WE WILL NOT COMPLY!!!
My 2 cents: 18k sucks but it’s much, much better than what it could be. Fighting this single penalty is futile, they will steamroll you. Comply with whatever you can, set up a 30 yr payment plan (or whatever you can afford) with the treasury, and move on to bigger brighter things.
If you are going to fight; your time, energy, and resources will be better spent in joining a group to collectively work on changing the legislation and protecting racing by changing the way the clean air act is written.
We weren’t sued by the epa or any government agency for that matter, our lawsuit was brought by a private group of environmentalists who ended up treating us much more unfairly than the epa would have; in fact we begged the epa to take our case instead of letting the private group sue and they told us that we didn’t have enough violations (less than 20) to make it worth pursuing.
It sucks but believe me, it could be worse.
Damn tree huggin hippies. Racing’s been around since early 1900’s and USA has some of the best emissions production in the world. But this is the new world we live in...
I herd you guys had to pay a million dollar fine.
That is definatley better than 18k, but still, its not fair.
After I seen this post what you went through was the first things I thought of.... Damn...
Fighting it is gonna suck so if he chooses to, hopefully he gets the support he needs so others don't have to. Keeping your head down is one strategy but when you finally look back up, you may not recognize anything. People think the auto industry is small but they can make a small group seem bigger than actually is, while also making a large one seem small. How many auto parts stores are in your town?
Complying got us this far wheres the line?
Brent we are here for you and the whole PFI Family.
💪🏻💪🏻
IF this EPA wins this then even farming cotton will be affected as no t-shirts from all these tuning companys will sold, no need for staff printing them, no need for companys delivering these t-shirts. The list goes on, many more will get unemployed! Less farming equipment sold. It affects so many more than those selling car-parts!!!
COOL respect !

The fact that Brent is always such a positive guy, seeing him this upset is unsettling.
Absolutely gut-wrenching watching him. The dude is always smiling you can tell he really loves what he does and is really good at it!
I agree. They try to go about things legit and to get this thrown at them is awful. Such a humble guy. Hate seeing this.
For real! This was hard to watch when you are so used to seeing Brent happy and smiling.
Set up a go fund me, you’ll have more than enough support!!
It’s because we the people aren’t actually doing anything but signing internet petitions and begging the epa not to take our stuff away… WHAT WE SHOULD BE DOING IS REMINDING THEM WHO THEY WORK FOR!!!
it pisses me off seeing him like this knowing he always has a smile on his face

Its so sickening to physically see the EPA attempting to bankrupt the entire motorsports industry all for THEIR profit. This blatant attack on the industry and car community will be far more detrimental then the emissions coming out of our modified cars.

It’s not about saving the environment, it’s just about control.
Exactly! Going after auto enthusiasts? Ridiculous. If the government cared about the environment they would go after the major corporations, which produce the vast majority of our nations emissions. Orrrr improve public transportation, so non-enthusiasts can get to work and back without driving at all. But they won’t do that, because the REAL polluters are lining the politicians pockets..

The EPA doesn't care about how clean these cars run, there usages ect... The way they're going about this shows this isn't about the environment, this is about control and profit.
Absolutely, this is the current administrations push for exactly what they promised... the establishment didn't "bail out" those "too big to fail" with our money for no reason... it's been a long processes of strong arming and driving in the final nails is all.
NWO everything under 1.

I spent the last 4 years of my OWN TIME and my OWN money, with almost ZERO shop assistance, swapping a standalone ecu, a larger turbo, some injector dynamics 1050x, a 5 speed transmission, a big better responding cam, removed the EGR mud. I am PROUD of the work I've done, I've made this car run as efficiently as possible without wasting gas, without ever HAVING HAD a cat on the car at all. It kills me to see tears in your eyes, Brent! Always been such a positive mascot for this type of hot rodding, I take more from you the responsibility involved and not just GOING FAST!
I hope there's some things we can all do to prevent them from taking a whole chunk of your business and livelyhood away.

Dude im crying with you we a small shop in South Africa 🇿🇦 and even all the stuff that impacts the us impacts us we will stand by you no matter what happens strongs dude Love,Honor,Respect bro
Don’t underestimate your extended TH-cam fam. If it gets too thick PFI, reach out to your viewers as I’m sure we’ll pull you the rest of the way out to the other side. Like the shop situation, I donated like so many others because we see value in the entertainment content we see on this channel so it doesn’t hurt to invest here and keep this thing alive.
Not even gonna lie this made me want to cry literally teared up when Brent was talking
Not just me then. Literally the nicest guy ever !! 🥺
Woah, hit me really hard seeing Brent this upset. I'm from Sweden and we have fairly strict laws and the 'merican car-family has always pushed the industry forward and leaving us here wishing we were a part of it.
Keep on fighting, you have a huge support from all of us
We love you keep your heads up
Also the Diesel Brothers beat out the RPM Act with the diesel mods, he may have some lawyers you can call.
They didn't beat it .
They actually lost and had to pay 850k after the 4.4mil judgment, a simple google search before typing something out next time.
Y'all are confused. Look up the rpm act.... the rpm act was an act introduced to protect this stuff. That is why they want people to sign it.
its the RPM Act that will keep Race Cars safe the EPA is trying to kill the RPM Act
@@sinformant good correction brother
We just need to get this whole community together imports domestic exotics four-cylinder six cylinder or eight cylinders 12 Motorcycles mopeds or golf carts we all need to stand together and say enough is enough
Yes. Regardless of your age or predilection for power and adders. Love for a company, a motor, or a set up. This hits all of us, those that watch, or race, regardless of scene.
Hey PFI, I`m crying with you, I was so jealous you could do anything to your cars and drive around, because here in Germany we have so strikt rules for modefying cars. It`s so hard to see GOV is killing onest "small buisnesses" I wish you all the best for these crap. BLESSED BE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’ve tried to spread This since it began but always got told I was crazy but here we are now.
I'd be talking with Holley's lawyer's i'm sure they have been through it.
His cash app sign is in the description if you want to send a dollar or two to help him out. “Many hands make light work”
Cant forget his good friend cleetus is a co owner of motion race works. I’m sure they got lawyers willing to help because there next. If they already haven’t gone through it. Magnaflow , hondata, link all the other “dealers” for these brands.
Nick Green Their next? They have been going through all this as well
Sad to see Brent on the verge of tears. People outside of this world think it’s just a bunch of dumb people modifying their cars to purposely put out emissions and ruin the planet. Sad when they truly have no idea why we do what we do. We are all here for you Brent!
Seeing Brent cry actually hurt. I've never known him to be down. We need to do something.. I think us as a car community needs to do something. Not talking just this channel. I'm talking the whole fam damily. The whole car scene. Prove to them what we are doing is legit. All the emission stuff they're putting on vehicles now is doing worse than what we're doing if you really think about it and look at what they're putting on our vehicles. They think they're doing right which in reality they're doing the complete opposite. Something needs to be done other than sending a letter I filled out the RPM act so many times and honestly probably not doing a damn thing. Brett keep your head up buddy we'll get through this, keep the foot down.
AMEN BROTHER!!
Indeed bro same here 😔 this is not right and makes me mad because I always built my cars and support aftermarket manufacturers since the late 90's... I signed the rpm act last month when cleetus was talking about it at the beginning of one of his videos and gave a link
Dude's a hero to so many, it does hurt. This episode was a sign of the future. Maybe PFI will look toward more methanol builds? The first Tesla on the dyno! Think about the mental leap from horse and buggy to internal combustion. People adapted and folks like Brent made the industry grow. I'd love to see the shop dive into hybrid, electric power adders both induction (superchargers) and hub motor systems or even a full electric build. Fortify the combustion builds/mods end and add as much new tech to push the industry ahead.
Seeing Brent cry literally broke my heart, dude. This man doesn't deserve this, he has the biggest heart out of anyone I've ever seen in my life...
@@DonariaRegia dude he got a methanol distill in his shop..just epa dont want any damn car modify to owner needs when they approved nascar but saying street cars cant be modify or tune to be a race car wtf is nascar then!
I signed it, heard back from my senators and local reps, they agree this is BS….but I live in Florida where there still some freedom left.
Start a go fund me, tell me where, you’re a good dude, you helped me in an email about my god sons Honda…I owe you bro.

@@MrEvtmazda The EPA started this in 2016/2017 (technically 1963 by kennedy as someone else pointed out and I verified) my guy lol
@@randomhero123 way before that.
Did the same and got some BS like my rep would “seriously consider” my opinion… I’m sure you will.
Dude man.. U got a bad case of stickittothemaniosis..... Youre one of the best guys and u take all the hits for us, so thanks man. We're watching and learning.
It's tough seeing one of the nicest most genuine dudes in the world go through this. Stand strong brothers, power in numbers, much love from Australia 👊
Together WE stand.
Divided WE fall.

@@thearmedoregoniancitizensj7911 I know what you mean. I got off of Facebook because everyone just thought I was crazy and just a conspiracy theorist. For 15 years I was trying to warn people. Now look their first steps are happening and people are like. They can do that? Yes I told you!
I stand together who stands with me! We are all brethren! We need to take back what's rightfully ours! (America)!
"For offroad use only" Google it! It's companies way of say "race happened in Mexico" basically takes liability out of your hands and into the vehicle owners. You don't know where they drive after they leave your shop that's on them but you've crossed your t`s and dotted your i`s by telling your customers.
But the epa is going after all cars manufactured in a factory for street use being modified so they can fine u even tho it says off road use only any conpany selling parts that modifies a stock car can get hit pure cash grab bullshit trying to tear apart a whole lot of years of racing heritage and advancement this is shamefull and goes against the people of the united states of america killing a 288 billion dollar a year industry
@@RobertWilliams-mu7qx thats crazy. Damn Greta
As an installer it's illegal to install offroad parts on a tagged vehicle.
@@michaels.ramsey7803 It's now illegal to install the parts on a factory made vehicle at all, even if it's a dedicated race car. That's what the EPA is now trying to enforce.
@@RobertWilliams-mu7qx That is true but most of that is not implemented yet.
I just wanted to say that sucks man and I showed my support and joined the rev act here in Florida and proud to help all car business owners and shops you guys are awesome love your videos and all the work you do keep it up man you guys keep killing it .
Hey Brent what about hitting up heavy D for some advice seeing as they already went through this with the EPA. Also definitely do some kind of fun raiser to pay the fees
Unfortunately Heavy D had to stop selling everything except merchandise. But I thought the same thing talk to him first.
heavy d was targeted for a couple trucks... brent is targeted for 37 ecu's .... the only thing he could do to work with them is pretend that he can flash those ecus to stock from where he is. he needs to just counter sue them and get a go fund me going .... has to go against a fuck ton of your rights out there in the usa
@@onetime7214 that's not going to fix anything. The ecu's in question are likely s300s installed in p28s or p06s. An s300 is considered a "defeat device" in the eyes of the EPA. That fact that its installed in a factory honda ecu is the issue. Putting a stock tune on it isnt going to get them off his back, anyone with a laptop could just load a different tune on it after the fact. This has to do with allowing the end use to disable emissions controls on the factory honda ecu.
@@оначертовасука Well.. Mr. lawyer... you seem to know everything about the government.. there is millions of ways to get out of the situation just buy using your rights as a human... specially being that you are American... I was suggesting one of a million ways. Suggestions are not a fix its only a suggestion... So far all I get from you is that you think you know everything but have 0 suggestions on what to do... Pipe down there little quitter. stop acting like there is no solution...
Those that say that they are going to " fight for their rights " better be prepared to quote actual law. You won't be able to go to court with " These are my rights because I said so "
Man it kills me to see Brent upset, he’s the most happy go lucky guy ever. Screw the EPA.
Damn man just the emotion in his voice and the sadness on his face man, this sucks I love this guys channel he is always so happy. Our government sucks
Not just yours. Govern-ment is govern-ment wherever you are.
I hear you Brent and Jamie and everyone over at PFI speed I have signed the pact and will continue to tune and race my civic ek hatch and awd Audi you guys have Inspired me with a lot of fab work and tuning from watching all your videos keep it up and don’t stop pushing
I believe this is the first time I've ever seen you that upset. Usually smiling through everything. The most frustrating part is when you try to make people understand whats happening they just think it wont effect them. Well when you can no longer buy parts to modify and enjoy your cars its damn sure going to affect you! I'm truly sorry you're going through this Brent. 😔
Remember when Congress tried to ban all personal repairs and parts sales? There was a petition in every parts store, we all signed it and the bill fell through. Together we can win. Organize and talk with other organizers. Do another live stream so we can superchat donations to cover legal expenses!
Man I was just sitting here thinking the same thing and he should do a live video for discussions and maybe donations so we as a whole comunity of car enthusiast might be able to help cover some legal expenses if such a situation arises. Like Brent said we need to build something maybe we could help donate toward a build that might be able to be raffled off to help Finance all this legal shit that Brent and the Pfi family are going through. All because the man wants to put his hand out into pocket of the everyday hardworking average American instead of the pockets of these multibillion-dollar corporations that's whose pocket the man should be putting his hand into everyday. And every day that goes by is another day that's taken away somebody's dreams because of our government they don't want to see nobody succeed that's middle class or lower class I thought America was for the People by the people and that's proving to be not the case anymore

Cleetus has a petition you can sign... Or at least he linked to where you can fight back.
100000%
There are probably 10s of millions of youtube subscibers that will back you up.. use your connections Brent and assemble the ARMY!!!
If only Cleetus had finished his law degree...
LOL^
Technically you don't need a degree. Ol' Cleeter just has to pass the bar exam . ⚖️
I'm right there by your side whatever I can do to help let me know
This is one of those situations where a guy can say "I'm proud of my country, but abhorred by it's government." Keep your heads up guys.
This is the most difficult PFI speed video I have ever had to watch. 😢 It's heartbreaking to see how hard these guys to build something and every step of the way they are forced to take two steps back.
This topic i(s hitting) multiple shops in "the tuning Sphere" i would recommend to join with all tuners to pay the court case(s) or start/join a lobbyist organization with independent tuner/repair shops. Whatever work in the us legislative branch.
Class action lawsuits is the only thing going to stop the Epa...unfortunately I don't think the rpm act will do anything...I have read it and it does not stop the Epa from attacking and rearranging the wording to fit there sick agenda. Class action lawsuits is THE ONLY thing going to stop the Epa from dying what they are doing...
They sold for off-road only parts to be used on street cars….they broke a law that was never really enforced and profited from it and though it would never be enforced…..nothing wrong happened here tbh if you don’t pay your registration you car gets towed yeah it sucks but it’s the law…..
@@chelly9456 i disagree. Just because they sold off road parts to someone who may or may not have used them on a street car should not make pfi liable for the car owners use of the speed part. Same as arresting smith and Wesson for someone using the gun in a murder. If the part says not for off road use and the person uses it for the opposite it should not be pfi's responsibility to make sure customers proper use of an item. Total over reach by the EPA...
@@chelly9456 second it was never the "law"...it was an opinion by the EPA as an interpretation of an existing law. Bad interpration at that.
Epa law says only factory equipment that means only factory oil,spark plugs, tires. Also means no oriellys or autozone parts factory dealer part only from what I read years ago in a law book.
This is what they have been warning us about man we the people have to take a stand together
