getting screwed at the automobile inspection

[nicolas]

ok, in hindsight it was not the smartest thing to do, but yesterday i went to the automobile inspection and got a deepred card.

the car hasn't been running for two years and i wanted to go so i could see what needed to be done.
i also have a original engine back in the car that i never ran before, so i was sure i wouldn't pass the CO-test.

but i passed that, but failed everything else...
i knew there was going to be a red card but they went way far inspecting the car. they even said i had to put locking bolts on the covers of the springplates. all i know is that they have spring washers and not bolts going through.

it was a nightmare before i knew it. i can almost redo all the work that has been done by all the garages i went to. evry bolt needs to be replaced and checked. i spend hundreds of euros on garages to have a better job than i could do myself, but all i got was a jog badly done.
the guys at the inspection did have a point to say that bolts should screw all the way into the taps and not halfway like some were.

just wanted to hear if you had some inspection-issues.

ps the guys do have a point. if safety is concerned ther is no excuse,

i will get everything fixed in the next couple of weeks, and hopefullly pass and drive all summer troublefree

have fun driving your inspected cars this year

At my last inspection I replaced my stroker engine with a stock one, just in case they were a bit picky. The inspection man (about 60 years old)  laughed at all the go fast parts and a stock engine.
-"Whow cool, a line lock!"
-"Oh, so you just plugged those dual AN-8 fuel lines and went with the stock line?"
-"Does a stock engine REALLY need a MDS ignition and a 3" muffler    ". The comments were constantly with a smile on his face.

I only got one remark, it was for one of the link pins that wasn't 100% adjusted.
He asked how much the REAL egine had.
-"200+" I responded quickly with a big grin on my face.
-"Cool! If you have 200+ hp you want that link pin to be perfect so I'll scratch the remark, he responded."
-"And next time, don't change the engine, I want a test ride" he shouted through the roar of the 1600 through a 3" pipe when I left the station.
