If this was bought in there would be very few legal cars on the road.
Something does need doing about modded cars but quite what i dont know. i hopped up a camaro for a mate with a big cube stroker kit. It was making silly hp but he would not spend money on the rest of it, he jumped on the loud pedal on a dual carriageway, it stood up and and shot off like a scolded cat only to break a halfshaft, veered left and went up the bank and ended up on its roof. He only hurt himself on that occasion but it could have been nasty. I think a special version of the iva should be brought in to rubber stamp conversions so that if you add beans there is the brakes etc to go with it, while in there check the integrity of the chassis. Did anyone see that top gear with james may at a hill climb with some old gits in a midget Vs some kids in a hatchback pug with a V6 in it, well a mate of mine installs the engines in those and they are a complete and utter death trap.Apparently road legal !!!!!!!!!
