What did you do to your Supra today?

[FLtrackdays]

A few things…
1) no one is going to see the spacers, and if they do, they are not going to notice 1mm.
2) it’s being measured by a f’n wooden stick.
3) that is the cleanest garage I’ve ever seen which tells me one thing. It’s run by folks who don’t work, and probably don’t know any thing about shit. Their only purpose is bureaucratic el toro caca.

You should slap an American”don’t tread on me” sticker on your ride and burn out as you leave.

Hilarious ? But if you are going to be on a leash, thats a nice looking one at least. It does look like fantasy television, or Truman Show. Beautiful no doubt. Would love to visit! You know you want to get schmacked with that stick @Mr. Jonathan

1) Spacers failed inspection. That means I'm not allowed to run spacers at all atm. So yes, people (police) are going to notice if they ever stop and inspect my car on the road.. But worst case it will only be a 1000 NOK fine (US$90) for a new obligatory inspection if I'm ever caught.

Every 2nd year we have a mandatory roadworthiness test, where the car is inspected and all modifications has to be approved or it will fail.
In my case, I will just remove the spacers before going in.

2) I tried to argue, but this thight ass inspector would not budge. Would not be suprised if that stick was previously up his ass.

3) Yeah, it's an government owned inspection hall, only used for inspection and nothing else. No heavy work is done here ?

That's just how the rules work here in Norway. One of the most unfriendly countries in the world when it comes to modifying cars.
Basically ALL modifications MUST have TÜV (Teilegutachten) German word for "parts cerfiticate".
Reason for this, is that Norway adapted the rules from EU, even thru we are not a member off the European Union.
Without that certificate, you can just forget about getting modifications approved. Top mount turbos is a big no-no.

Big companies that origins from Germany, like Eibach, KW or H&R usually provides a certificate with their parts, but other companys like HKS or Greddy does not.
That's mean I'm "locked" to only be using parts from companies that can provide a TÜV certificate.
Still, this does not mean people are not modifying their cars here. We just try to don't get caught

Had my second track day on Sunday. Posted a couple pictures in my build thread (link in my signature) and have a video of my best lap of my final (5th) session of the day. Nothing crazy but had fun with it. About 1.6 seconds off my best time of the whole day.

Out for a drive for a coffee to Daft Eddy's on the shore of Strangford Lough.
Nice quiet roads as everyone is at work!

Anticipating the summer heat in Western Washington, decided to add more fans for circulation. I'm still amazed the code let's them get away with putting single zone units for 2 story homes .

@LinkMK5 I have a window unit I'm not using anymore if you get too hot...in Puy...

The fans plus the central AC are enough, so we should be fine I think, thank you for the offer though. I finally replace all the glass bowl lights in the house with fan lights so we are good.

Just my 2 cents.. Pack up your Supra and move.

At the shop being returned to mostly stock, the only thing that will remain on the car is badges and mirror caps. All my aftermarket parts will be stored at the shop until I take delivery of my 2023.

Looks good!

Have you driven it with the spacers on the highway at higher speeds?

Im wondering if there are some vibrations with the added spacers. Some members had that issue.

I have, but I have not noticed any new vibrations. I believe hub centric spacers should help with that? Which is what these are.
