What about our use of the £ sterling, everyone else has the Euro.
Imperial measurements, mph, pints in a pub, miles/yds. Europeans are all metric.
Why can this country fight to keep some old traditional values but bow down and take it up the **** on others,
So we have to do and obey what the Europeans directives do and say?

Oh and I reckon the answer to getting your car past the visual part of the CAT inspection would be to have an empty canister/resonator welded in where the cat would normally be.
So long as there's a 'bulge' in the place where a cat would go and your emissions are OK, I cant see them investigating further.
Best start finding yourselves a 'good' MOT tester then by the looks of it everyone.

13-08-2018, 11:32 AM #15My MOT tester is cool, but it's all computerised now. If you get pulled up within 30 days of your MOT and something is wrong with your car, which has clearly not just gone wrong, the MOT tester gets investigated. My MOT tester even told me he knows he has a fail quota, not a pass quota, he can pass as many as he likes, so long as he fails so many too. That's why he loves me, 2 20 year old Zs that actually get driven, not parked up in the garage and so every year, there are bulbs, bushes, etc.

Going forwards though I don't really have a problem with these sorts of rules - AMG Mercs and such are insane yet still meet these regs so it can be done if you put your mind to it
2002 '02' IS200 SE Auto - DVD Satnav with Voice Activation - [COLOR="Blue"]Strathcaron Blue - Parking Sensors - 5000K HIDs with Anti-Glare Bulbs - PIAA 6500K Main Beams - LED Sidelights - Mirror/Sunroof Closure - TTE Styling Kit - 18" Styling Kit Alloys with nitrogen filled Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric Tyres - Bluetouch Multimedia Kit - Gromaudio AUX in - Black painted calipers with silver Lexus decals - 12 LED Dome Light - 96 LED Boot Light - Stainless Steel Sport Sill Plates - PIAA Silicone Wipers[/COLOR]
I can't see these rules getting applied retrospectively though, just wouldn't work like with the road tax hikes. It's just not fair to change rules that effectively make cars that were legal one day illegal the next.

Yeah but I own a car that thrashes AMG mercs and costs me not even a tenth of the price. If I have to start spending that much money to get my car back to standard, it will no longer thrash AMG Mercs and it'll have cost me a fortune! I reckon this is just more plans to introduce more scrappage schemes!

****, how much power do you have? :w00t:
Seriously though I can't see this getting applied retrospectively, stuff like HID kits maybe but people with non-standard engines and stuff just can't be done.

As for power, I haven't dyno'd it and it shouldn't really be THAT powerful, but I've hunted down TVRs and such before now, dragged a Ferrari and won off the lights, my R32 GTR was a LOT quicker than the Z, but the Z aint slow!

13-08-2018, 11:55 AM #19I'd like to think so, but unfortunately I believe Brussels are capable of such bullshit and I believe our government is weak enough to let it happen. The government is completely anti-car, anti-smoking, anti-drinking, etc. We're all supposed to sit at home staring at the wall bored out of our tiny little minds all day.

thats not true....your mot cert is basically valid till you drive out of the garage doors.....the only thing you have come back on is corrosion..
as for you must fail so many thats poop too..take me for instance i work for a main dealer and have been moting for approx 5 years now and on a guestamit ive passed 40 times more cars than i have failed....
but you do get monitored on what you fail things for ie in a month you fail 100 cars for handbrakes with too much reserve and the national average is 20 the boss will get an email asking why and if an answer isnt to their satisfaction they will pop in and check you over..
