Just wondering in regards to the Road Traffic Act, I had a read through it and I could not see any ammendments concerning the 'hoon' or misuse of motor vechiles bill, does anyone have a link to the specific ammendments. This is after an hour of googling and searching the SA parliment website.

Remove everything regards to the turbo timer, if asked when the inspection starts I'd say it was the previous owner, and I sit in the car for a few minutes more. If you don't remove the harness and it is found then you can expect a more thorough inspection. Also, cleaning engine I did it in 3 stages. First at home to remove the easy stuff, then I went down later and used a HP hose and degrease from oneof the those self serve wash stations. I inspected the car afterwards and noted areas I missed, then later I resprayed the engine bay specifically in those areas. My engine bay was so clean you could smell the dust burning. I also kept the car running during the sprays and did not spray around spark plugs, altenator and battery.

I can't see what the issue is and I would argue the point. If they kept it at 1 person, then I'd let the engineer do it. It would very difficult for them to palm something off to be check on another visit. Due to the fact that I've read alot of people requiring 2 or 3 visits, even if it cost ~$300-500 for the eng it would be money well spent considering each visit is around $100 for the inspection + permits.

Can't believe Im saying this but do a search on NS.com SA section. I believe someone got through regency with a CF Bonnet, mind you he brought his engineer with him and regency could not prove that the bonnet did not have metal reinforcement. I remember this because the engineer signed the defect stating CF bonnet approved or something similar. So it could be possible

A common missconception, reading the road regs for SA, you are allowed ~2" for your wheel assembly. This means Rim & Tyre. My standard size is 155R14 60, which running a 215R17 40 comes in ~2-4mm under the limit, however going by 2" rim increase it technically fails, yet is legal under ADR's. Yet that being said, the police will quite happily use 2" rule.

hmm 1st post. I've found with most tradebased industries (mainly within this state) it is not a question of their abilities but their professionalism when it comes to time management and job scheduling. Unfortunately its a nature of the industry where most will quote and grab the work just to have the work coming into the door, and then worry about how to get it done on time.
