TRD3000GT Posted October 19, 2004 Share Posted October 19, 2004 Ok boys and girls, I have a few issues comming up with MOT. My car still has cats so beofre you say, Its not one of them! I have always watched my car put on to a sort of roller thing where they test the brakes. This is normally a 3 inch drop and I know will end up damaging my doluck front. Is this needed as I just installed new UK's with brembos all round? Also what about the fog light I just got rid of at the rear? Not looking forward to a place asking me to put it back. Can any of these things be overlooked? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeT Posted October 19, 2004 Share Posted October 19, 2004 the foglights easy. just get in touch with Emin and buy a taillight conversion kit from him so 1 of your brake lights doubles up as your fog light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
absz Posted October 19, 2004 Share Posted October 19, 2004 hi there about your rear foglight its a must for mot test but only the drivers side. if your vehicle is lowered, then there is no reason why it has to be put in a brake tester roller the mot tester can use a device called a taply meter which is placed on the passenger footwell and the car is driven to 20mph and the brakes are applied to obtain a brake reading . all mot stations have a brake meter.

Graham S Posted October 20, 2004 Share Posted October 20, 2004 Chris / supragal, they shouldn' t need to drive out of sight as like absxxxx said they only gotta do 20mph, You must be seriously low to get it stuck in the rollers, i've done loads of low cars with no problems, but better to be safe than sorry! I did Ashley W's supra with the bomex front and still had quite a few inches to spare, but i'm pretty sure the Do luck is quite a bit deeper. Good luck!

Supragal Posted October 20, 2004 Share Posted October 20, 2004 I really meant stay with the car at all times in the viewing area or whatever. "err there appears to be a dent..." "that was there when you dropped it off" "no it wasn't" "yes it was" meh meh meh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emin With your kit, does the 'bulb out' come on when you use the brakes with the fog lights on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supra ST Myster Posted October 21, 2004 Share Posted October 21, 2004 The first kit i used to do did, the "bulb out" light only came on if you have the fog light on and then brake, but does go out if you switch it off, but i have worked on a new one which will not cause this anymore...
