    Road legal track cars maybe a thing of the past... new mot rules

    And the only cars exempt from the airbags one is competition rally cars. Even they have to have a Cat if fitted from factory

    Road legal track cars maybe a thing of the past... new mot rules

    This is copied from the DVSA website... We are often asked what level of modification is necessary before a vehicle can be classed as a rally car and therefore qualify as a ‘modified vehicle’ as defined in the Introduction section of the MOT inspection manual. Put simply, the vehicle must be a...

    Road legal track cars maybe a thing of the past... new mot rules

    So the on going argument of moting a modified vehicle to be used on track. Rules now state that a "boy racer" modified car to be used on track days must comply with all normal car mot rules. If airbags, pre tentioners, collision sensors are fitted from factory they must be present and in...

    Steering column to rack

    I'm guessing I must have the Trw ones then which is why they can adjust them so far but then it hits the stops. I will give RPD a message n get the SMI ones ordered. I will fit these. Centralize the rack with the wheel in the centre position and then get the tracking something like by eye and...

    Steering column to rack

    So I've had a quick look on eBay at racks and from what I can gather as you look at the pinion end on, the left and right sides are flat the upper and lower sides are rounded and one of those rounded sides has a notch cut out of it which obviously the bolt passes by. So there are no splines at...
