It's MOT Time
« on: 01 October 2006, 12:12 »
It's that time of year again!  :undecided:

The Purple beast is booked in for it's MOT next Saturday morning. What i wanna ask is my car is heavily lowered and i mean slammed! I'm worries that they won't be able to get it on the rolling road to test the brakes, anyone else had this problem? There is a big drop into the rollers and i'm worries that the front bumper will just get wedged into it.

Cheers.  :smiley:

good luck, i hate MOT time!!

I am taking my valver to a mitsubishi dealership as I know someone who works there. The ramp and everything is pretty much flat as they are used to having Evo's on there with equally low front splitters so all should be well!

Ooo lucky sod! Good luck too buddy  :smiley:

I can't think of anything it could fail on apart from the fact the n/s/r tyre rub when under load and it shows  :undecided:  emissions might be high aswell because it needs a tune up. Agghhh i hate MOT's but they are good too because they show up any dangers that you might not be aware of!  :shocked:

3 MOT's  :shocked:

Right it's in tomorrow at 09.00! Wish me luck  :undecided:

Just removed the sun strip, put normal british number plates on  :cry:  :embarassed:  and a new o/s mirror and sorted the rear seat belts.

Looks weird with no sunstrip or german style plates  :sick:

if you can be assed just take it off, saves you having to hear that painful noise of it scrapping on the ramps  :sad:
