Hey just wondering if you can decide on which pits youd like to take your car to for inspection??

Apparently Welshpool pits are a little more lenient!!

Problem is i just put coilovers in my 34, and really dont want to put the stock suspension back in, anybody here been over with coilovers in and passed?

Also i dont know how the whole thing works, never taken a car over so a little help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

yeah u can pass pits with coili's just make sure ur car is 10cm off the ground at the lowest point. also u can choose what pits to go to.

um u pretty much rock up at the pits examination place EARLY ( around 8-9am) then u just wait in line till its ur turn to get inspected. also u will have to pay ~$80 for the fee's.

hope this helps.

Hi mate, I brought my car to the pits at Welshpool for compliance. Only just made the 10cm clearance and they were pretty relaxed at inspecting the car. Heard from my mate that they are one of the most lenient around too

Welshpool knows what they are lol...

bring a good amount of $$$...

roll your car on stockies... oh wait, yours has awesome stockies anyway so don't worry...

make sure it has a rear bar :unsure:

i think you're set to go man as far as i can think of since the last time i saw your car...

make sure the BOV isn't a loud bitch and is plumbed back and umm... the car has to be the lowest (at a minimum) 100mm off the floor with a full tank of fuel and be seated with grown adults to the cars capacity, GT-T - 5 people

if your coilovers are stiff enough it should be alright, if anything then just use some of your $$$ and get a permit on the spot, easy as, you're already there and you'll never get picked on for it ever again

dude, don't worry...

i'm broke as a f*cking corn farmer living in the sahara desert...

trust me, as for permits i have no idea how much it is but i meant bring the cash for the permit down just in case they rape you for the coilovers...

because if they don't like them and you don't get a permit, there's more unnecessary $$$ spent on an extension for the sticker and you don't want that...

end of the day, just try for it... try and get your car as stock and clean as well as tidy as possible, no loud BOV and go for it, should be okay man

let us know what happens (i'm sure you will anyway)

    • This lady loved her FD for 25 years!  https://www.topspeed.com/80-year-old-woman-donates-fd-rx-7-mazda/ My brother in law. He's nice enough to let me drive it whenever. He'll likely not see this, but I'll try: @r-is-for-fun got any pics?
    • Just something I found searching for more info on Emotion R, apparently the ECR33 Skyline GTS25t was either originally black, or there were two of them, the black one being the original demo car, then building a white one which was part of the 1997-onwards (to at least 2008!) Cockpit Tatebayashi Tokyo Auto Salon booth demo cars. It appears that Emotion R closed down in 2008 and was declared bankrupt in 2010: http://bank-db.com/hasan/208365.

    • Try fabricating something like this and install it under the pedals? Not sure if it's legal or not....
    • Even though I have some pretty good (brand) ratchet ringies, I avoid using them to break open tight bolts. A broken ratchet is very annoying.
