I need to move! haha that's crazy, we have the same but called an MOT its so strict though, they failed mine last year for having a bucket seat that is mounted solid and cannot slide.. and having indicators smoothed out in the wing, there rules are pretty much that what ever was on the car as standard should still be there and working for an MOT.

They would fail it for having a number plate light out here its stupid, when I had my mini I wanted to move the fog light from the rear valence to inside a rear light, but "the rules" here state it has to be so many mm away from the brake light lol!

Some states require an inspection like that. In Wisconsin they only care about emissions haha. You just need to take it and make sure it doesn't have a check engine light or anything like that. They don't check anything modification wise unless you remove an emissions system haha

I emailed Driftworks shop enquiring about HSDs last week as they are normally a 60day wait, and someone had dropped out of buying a set and they told me they could send them out there and then, was too good to miss ! So here they are





The money was from selling my chrome cragars I was planning to buy some other wheels but I thought these would be more important and will save for wheels over winter, well the adapters for the wheels are ordered I'll say no more

The HSDs ride amazing, they are so solid and comfortable and has got rid of a lot of knocks and squeaks I previously had, also the castor has made it feel 100x better to drive and corrects the steering so quickly, also drives in a straight line now, I'm putting it down to the cheap eBay adjustable top mounts I had before.

So I got pulled over last weekend after leaving our local track watching the drifting the police were waiting for everyone to leave and impounded 5 or 6 cars, they followed me for a while and decided to pull me, first he tried to give me £100 fine per number plate because they are pressed metal... I then sat in his car and showed him that his computer picks my plates up and they had all the correct stampings and spacing etc then he moved on to my front wheels poking to which I also pointed out thy are allowed to poke 30mm anyway all he could find wrong in the end was my rear fog light bulb was out and I had to go to and MOT garage and get them to stamp the slip to prove i had fixed it and send it back to the police, what a nightmare.



After that I decided to buy some wheels of a friend that where cheap and look a little better for now until I can afford some other wheels. These are also slightly more legal




Other than that not much change, other than winter making it run really bad again, unplugging my battery to reset the ECU and cleaning up the plugs seems to sort it though.
