I only checked this myself so time to bring it in :-)

[Tdurr]

good luck man!

[Gemini2003]

Well, I failed but all this is easy to fix all the electrical shit passed :-) :-) Off to the wrecker in the am :-)

EDIT just priced this all out at the wrecker and it's going to cost about 250 before tax if I get everything individually, however I think if you take the works they give you a discount AND it's easy lol maybe get them down to 150-200 :-)

Wow. I can see ball joints and brake pads, but hood rods and seat belt holes? You have to be kidding me.

[Tdurr]

lol whatttt

[Dr_Snooz]

We don't have safety inspections of any kind here in California. We also drive very old cars because there is no rust or harsh weather to destroy them. Yet somehow we don't have massive casualty counts from our seat belt holes or missing hood props. Heck, we have ball joints come apart on the road and there are no giant pile-ups. How do they justify forcing everyone to pay for those inspections up there? Are there any hard numbers to support the scheme?

[gyates93]

It's all about $$$$... Some provinces up here require YEARLY safety inspections. One rust hole, exhaust leak, or dead light bulb will cause a failure. Also, my auto registration sticker costs $140 per year..

At the same time, this car has multiple serious issues.. Ball joints, wheel bearings, brakes, tie rod end.. Yeah, I wouldn't have wasted my money on the inspection.

[dieselgus]

The reason the officer requested the major inspection was because it was probably deemed unfit for the road, and frankly looking at all of the issues, I probably would too. Something must have really pissed off the cop, or the car had blatantly obvious mechanical issues that got the cop worried enough to force an inspection. Gets the unsafe and sketchy shit off the road. Not really a cash grab as it forces slackers to fix their death traps properly so that a mechanical or structural failure on the death trap does not cause a major accident and wipe out some other unsuspecting motorist.

I think inspections are a wonderful motivator to keep a vehicle in good working order at all times. I hope they start doing them yearly actually, instead of Aircare/smog.

Just my .02

Some of those shops in BC are retarded for the stuff they mark as unsafe... First inspection I took my car for in Van, the guy said my seatbelts failed because they didnt recoil under no tension fast enough... Yet acknowledged that the locking mechanisms and buckles worked perfectly well. It's a 25 year old car... not a new car. He also said my car wouldn't pass with some buttons/switches not in the dash and their holes open... how is that a safety issue if I don't have a blank where the cruise control switch is supposed to be??.... So I found another shop through a friend and passed without any issues.

Good luck getting yours sorted and getting through the inspection.

[Gemini2003]

Well...


I did piss off the cop BUT not intentionally

My car had no visible rust but it's Primer Grey n Orange and it's lowered so it does look heatscore.


What it was in the end was the cop was dumb to what makes a car road legal or not.

He Pulled me over for FAILING TO YEILD (which I admitted to) and saw that I had no seats except my driver seat and he had a Kanipshit.

Once I told him that you legally did NOT need seats beside the driver seat he thought I was lying to him. He called his traffic cop buddy and I heard him say " well he needs seats doesn't he? " LOL

Anyway he let me slide for the fail to yeild but hit me for a Box 1 Vehicle Inspection






I have not worked on the car since the day of safty, I'm going to pick it up again in the next week or so...

Right now however I've got a serious.....serious.... addiction to minecraft... lol
