So the suspension is raised

Exhaust is quiet (although small leak)

Child restraints in

Headlights checked and replaced bulbs

Car seat covers on (pink and black lol)

Only thing I totally forgot was the workshop manual :(

Inspection is tomorrow lunch time so no time to sort that out with work starting at 9am

I guess I'll see what they find for me and just go from there. Only things I can think of is the 235 tires on 18x9.5 +22 rims but if they fail that then that's an easy fix.

So I didn't get bent over too bad.

Didn't pass but also didn't fail majorly.

Things to fix:

-Suspension has no travel. (because I wound the coilovers all the way up)

-Aftermarket boost solenoid.

-Front left parker light

So does anyone have a stock boost solenoid I could borrow for the inspection?

Also would that cause any issues with my tune if I was to drive it off boost?

I've got a stock boost solenoid. Don't think there's any differences between s1 and s2.

No idea on the tune issue

Awesome :)

Might have to grab that one off you.

Depending on if it effects the tune or not

its a "boost" solenoid if its not on boost who cares. Just run I hose straight from if bung to waste gate running less boost is not an issue.

Just remove the aftermarket solenoid and controller, leave the wiring and run the hose from the intercooler pipe nipple to the actuator, you will just be running off actuator pressure so boost might come on a bit sluggish but it wont go over what it would have been set up to run on the ebc.

Leave everything else set up in there and just block the other vac hoses up for the re-inspection

Awesome thanks guys.

Pattey are the shocks high enough to pass an inspection?

Also are they not leaking?

I'm thinking I may as well put them in now for the re-inspection so I don't have to adjust coilovers and then remove them at a later date.

    • What could be causing my clutch problem besides a bad master or slave then? Both those parts are new

    • My hold point for future mods is that I want a OEM detachable hard top first, but, finding one is a pain, MX5 Mania are looking for one for me, but, as hens teeth are more common, finding one in Australia is proving problematic  I can get a OEM one from overseas, hell, you can still get new ones in 'Merica, but, shipping is a absolute killer and I cannot justify the cost, or the risk of it being damaged during transport As for the aftermarket hardtops, whilst they do the job of being a hard top, and are fine for a track car, they don't seal well (read: leak like a sieve in the rain), and you need a plastic/poly rear window, plus they are a bolt in option only and not made to be easily removed I liked how the hard top on my NB could be fitted, and removed, by myself, in less than 5 minutes I know it sounds bad, but I'm waiting for someone to write off a car with one so I can swoop in on their pain, it will go to a good home though, so my guilt of this is tempered
    • I’ve got one on mine and it’s fine, 
    • No, you don't want to plug the vacuum line, as that will turn that side of the booster into an air spring and probably make it feel worse. I'm not saying that the GTR master itself doesn't need a booster. I haven't paid attention to the GTR one to know what size it is cf the non-GTR ones. But when you think about it - they have to do the same job, which is to move a little slave piston a few mm to do what it is supposed to do, and that final action is the same on all the cars. So, it is very unlikely that the GTR MC is any different than the others, because it has the same pedal stroke and the same output requirement. The booster just makes it feel easier. I'd suggest you probably have an actual hydraulic problem. It's totally common on these old shitboxes.
