Oh hi. I am a wof inspector. Here is my interpretation. 1) if a rotor face is rusty, and the braking performance passes I would not fail, but others at my workplace would. My personal opinion outside of the virm is get some new rotors or at least get the old ones skimmed as brakes are important. 2) mazda 3 rear bump stop above the arm, if it looks fucked, fail, replace it. 3) any play in a driveshaft spline is a big fat fail. edit: see the definition of corrosion in the notes… https://vehicleinspection.nzta.govt.nz/virms/in-service-wof-and-cof/general/brakes/service-brake-and-parking-brake#note2 pitting in the rotors should be a fail. Light rust should knock off with some heavy braking.

You might need some camber correction arms for the rear as well. keep up the good work.

They will only be able to tell you if there is a current recall. The Takata recalls have been going on for years now and are dependant on supply. When I was at Toyota a couple years ago there were some cars that we had replaced the airbag inflator two or three times because they were supplying the old style initially, because a new old style was safer than waiting for the new style.

Call the dealer

HQ is actually 5x120.65 / 5x 4.75” That extra 0.65 is enough to snap your wheel studs.

I love the idea of a Toyota Hemi in this old camper, but if we are talking chassis swaps, you’d be better off getting a modernish diesel Hilux or similar and putting your body on top.

Nope. Just rack boots.

So you have a cert passed already? you unbolted a factory fitted seatbelt and installed what exactly in its place? what kind of car?

@cletus can you confirm?

That looks minor. If it is failed the inspector should give you a Structural Repair Sheet that you can take to a panel beater for them to sign of that it is sweet as mate.

Choice. Thanks for the reminder.

Yaris might be more aerodynamic than a 69 Camaro.

@Not-a-number Looking good man. Is the A/C gassed up? I do wonder about those hose clips holding.

Should be sweet as. Previous shape Hilux towbars were the same for 2WD and 4WD, just had the tongue flipped.

Might want to give it a wash for better aerodynamics.

I remember seeing a turbo commy years ago with the turbo mounted between the radiator and the engine.

Any progress @Testament Tom?

I like the net to catch any parts when they fall off the bike

With a timing light https://www.toyotanation.com/threads/diy-ignition-timing-check-and-adjust-obd-i-93-95.1374553/

Did you check the ignition timing after the new belt was on?

https://vehicleinspection.nzta.govt.nz/virms/in-service-wof-and-cof/tb-general/guidance-clearly-visible-smoke If there is no smoke once it warms up when you give it a rev, it will pass.

Correct. Reverse lights are a permitted lamp. So you don’t need them.

Looking sweet. Don’t get it dirty!
