yes but its not a great idea to conspire with someone online on how you are going to commit a fraud against the state, big fines and big trouble.....sticking to pm's is the way to go

 

Alfie, If the car will pass inspection, sure. If for any reason it is illegal, no.

Call the cell if it is legal today after 2 304-7232

 

I know where Phil is coming from. Merchant's is one of the worst places to get a state inspection done if you have questionable equipment. My old Turbo Coupe got failed because one power window switch was just barely slower than the other one. Had to lol about that one. Just doing their job, trying to sell repairs. BUT.. don't take your hot rod for an inspection there

 

Had a state inspection where the tech put my car up on a lift. WTF?!? He wanted to check out the (heavily) custom suspension and the exhaust setup.

 

All cars go on a lift for a few reasons. Inspection of exhaust(yes it still does get a visual), they also have to pull 2 wheels to inspect the brakes.

You shouldn't sound suprised about the lift Richard, you have the code of Virginia in your head and it states that.

 

Off the shelf Maximum Motorsports panhard and torque arm are far from heavily custom. But pimp nonetheless.

Phil, do you carry a line on Falken tires? 195/60/14 Azenis??

 

LOL@Kevin......I don't carry in stock, but I can get them from my supplier. We mainly carry in stock what most everyday customers need and want in a tire. However I do have a warehouse in Richmond and elsewhere where I can pull tires from if I need them.

 

I've been tinkering with the torque arm setup (how it attaches to the frame, axle) and pinion angle quite a bit over the past year and a half. Not happy with the setup at slower speeds. The back end is sloppy and does not handle as well as it should. May go back to the "off the shelf" setup.

 

can I get a price on these? Thx

Yeah, I read the Code of VA like others study porn, but without the whole masturbating thing.

Every other inspector just uses a floor jack or peers through the stock wheels to "inspect" the brakes and presence of catalytic converters. Mechanics get paid diddly for state inspections with no repairs to be made. That guy was just being an ass, looking to make some loot at the end of the month.

Because of how hard I drive my car (and my little bro is the lead mechanic at his shop), typically have the brake pad and rotor measurements in hand from a recent examination before even attempting to get inspected. Safety first! Paul and Kevin, probably many others who go to VIR/Summit Point/etc, get their cars looked at quite often as well because there is a pre- tech sheet to be completed before the track tech.
