Do they actually look at it when you add it
Depends but usually no. however modified cars get pulled over and if I were to be involved in a accident or pulled over id be banned from driving.
not a risk im going to take
timber oar
They get pulled over just for being modified?
charred depot
Yes. When we take out insurance we are forced to explicitly state there is no modifications.

And it's emissions legal

Most insurance companies here wont even insure engine swaps let alone cutting half the floor out for a tunnel.

I'm just saying i could even get it that far if i cared
I don't remember if ours explicitly ask or not

As long as modifications don't mess with emissions, it should be fine imo

Higher emissions have been linked to increased medical costs.
Which in the US everyone does have to pay at the end of the day.
dense shard
That's 20 dollars added to your insurance premiums.
And EPA when they do catch you, will fine you a decent amount.
Frankly getting the EPA to actually fine private owners means those owners 10000% deserved it.
timber oar
And then the rest of the time like one of my friends
One of his o2 sensors is messed up

So it's running a tad lean from the altitude

Yeah, I doubt they're gonna throw much of a tizzy over that.

And that won't pass emissions

I can't speak for state emissions, I was only referring to federal.

I'm talking specifically about our state emissions testing here

Yeah, but by the same count I'm all for cleaner air.

You wont even be tested here if you have an EML on

The US, especially the midwest would benefit greatly from some form of safety inspection on road going cars.

Or some have a bleeder on them if you are lucky
charred depot
never heard of it and our civic had all of its hardlines done by the time it was scrapped.
dense shard
I imagine a lot of OBDII tools have a bleed function for the ABS unit.
There are a lot of things you can still DIY engine wise, but you either need computers... or heaven help most owners... a proprietary piece of streamed software.
charred depot
Its only if you want to replace all of the fluid you need to do that
dense shard
I know getting the rear brakes changed in the Corolla are going to be a pain to replace.
charred depot
alternatively you can flush the system, bleed it. go out for a drive and slam on the brakes then flush it through again.
dense shard
I get why electronic parking brakes are a thing. But I don't like them.
That's my boomer breaking point.
I just like the idea that it's your sheer strength that's keeping the car from moving. You gotta pull hard on the parking brake to make it stay. Or press it down all the way. The button? Is my finger really all that's needed to keep 3000 pounds of steel from moving on a hill? So I pull/push the button twice just to be sure.
charred depot
never trust the handbrake anyway
charred depot
dads car didnt have a handbrake for basically 3 years but were able to adjust it out so far each year for the MOT that the rusted solid mechanism being pulled on would put enough force on the shoes.
then it ran out shoes and we were forced to actually solve the problem
charred depot
hill starts were fun in the hyundai
clutch took a fair bit of punishment from my dad but seems it was the throwout bearing that has suffered and not the friction material.
will maybe be the point it gets scrapped. he doesent really care what he drives but doubt I can fob the saab off to him with its fuel economy.
will probably be worth it to just fix the hyundai the way prices are going.
timber oar
thats the thing i just want to bleed the brakes and be done
and not faf with a computer to do it properly
if the abs module had a bleeder id be fine but i really got the impression thats a luxury
charred depot
well you dont really need to do that unless you are anal about getting every drop out
if you replace your fluid every year youll be just fine

I don’t really mind if my handbrake is electronic or mechanical. I only use it when parking on a hill.

28mpg and we are heading for £1.50/l since its a GM car theres plenty of engines which could be used to make it viable with modern fuel prices but id need to discuss with an insurance company first.

my experience with concrete is that they have way less traction.

Concrete is way, way harder than asphalt. So it survives longer. As long as it doesn't crack from the winters.
And for traction, that all depends on how you surface the concrete.

pretty rough on the private road

Concrete is also more expensive.
Asphalt gets reused.
Doesn't help that they want to close down the place here in Sweden that provides us with the majority of the product used in concrete.

German highways are originally built on concrete slabs, but it will mostly be replaced by asphalt.
Sweden did have some concrete highways, because the Germans build a few stretches there.
The Netherlands have no more concrete roads more on motorways, we use now porous asphalt. the last concrete road one was between Hengelo and German border but it is replaced by ZOAB in 2012.
