NCT recently?

Anyone put their car through the NCT recently? Specifically anyone with mods like brakes / suspension etc. Seems that a engineers report is now required for these and people are failing - curious if anyhones been impacted, have the M3 and E30 to put through this month.

Yeah thats what I read alright - I can kind of see why they'd fail someone who has removed their airbag. Was more curious as to see whats happened to lads on coilovers, BBK's etc

What classifies as a modification though? Where is that line drawn?

Any non standard brakes, suspension, steering components. Its going to be down to the testers discretion in a lot of case I reckon.

Would it not just be TUV certs for coilovers, BBKs etc... ? (Don't germany do this already?)

Would rule out the Chinese replica crap which I would be in favour of. :)

Safety is paramount but these people pass cars that should not pass. Their discretion could be considered questionable at best.

Just on this, what's the difference between a spurious part and a mod?

Eg, an back box from Fast Fit Exhausts on a Polo v an Eisenmann on an M3??

Mine went through in August with coilovers and nothing was said.

Mine went last weekend with eibachs with no issue

I put the e46 m3 with brembos and h+r suspension through last week in kilkenny and nothing was said

mine went through 2 weeks ago with bc's and powerflexed and the tester actually commented how "sorted" the car was.

Mine went through lst friday with a BBK, no questions asked or no problem not putting her on the rollers

i told u ,that very soon u will need TUVs to prove that your after market and performance parts are road leagle :wink

Mine passed with flying colours this morning. Can see a new section on the cert to list modifications though.

Congrads!

Any chance of a pic/scan to see what way it's layed out?

Will grab it later - its just a box up in the top right corner though.

I passed in Galway a month ago. No questions.
