So you been giving some love by the police and your not sure what to do next?
Heres a few steps that you need to take so that you can get it sorted. Below is a real defect that was issued to one of our customers. I will now step through it item by item to give you a feel of what you need to do so that you can drive your car.
2. Check wether the defect is minor or major, minor defect means only the item listed will be checked. If the major check box is ticked it means the whole car will be inspected, this is certainly the case for the defect below.

3. If you can resolve the issues by yourself to save money then do so, otherwise contact a service centre that can help. Let us now step through each one below:
* Ground clearance is below 100mm - if you have adjustable suspension you can raise the car to ensure it passes.
* Airpod filter not enclosed - If you have standard airpod to install do so, otherwise can buy aftermarket enclosures to take advantage of the power gain and ensure its still legal.
* Blow off valve - this will need to be plumbed back to comply, or might have to be removed.
* Horn not working - You can buy your own or get a workshop to do this for you.
* Rear Indicator not orange - all lights on cars must be specific colours, indicators must be the correct colour. Note even if your light cover is cracked and white light is being emitted this still classifies as a defect.
* Front mount intercooler to comply with standards - Unfortunately these will need to be removed, unless the stock vehicle has these installed e.g. Mitsubishi Evo
* Wheels and tyres fiittd outside the guards - These must remain in the guards.
Note : - they can not be 1 inch bigger than the largest factory rims fitted, BUT ... if you drive for e.g. a R34 with 15" rims, and a GT-R comes out with 17" factory rims you can still goto 18" and remain legal.
* Screamer pipe fitted and disconnected - All exhaust gases need to leave the rear of the car via exhaust and catalytic convertors and muffler. This is more of an emission issue.
* Exhaust to comply with standards - Your exhaust noise must be lower than 90 decibals. The best way around this is to have a factory exhaust. You can have aftermarket exhausts but they must be still be below 90 decibals, we usually need to get a noise test from an exhaust shop. This reading is then used to clear the defect.
Sooner or later you will need to speak to an AUVIS (authorised vehicle inspection station), basically anyone that is licensed to clear defects. If you have any questions or would like to have your defects cleared feel free to contact us on:
