max max style zoomies....
Discussion
can anyone in the know help me out? are mad max style exhausts (ie - exhausts coming up the side of the car) legal? would they have to fall within the wing mirror line or some similar clause? also, come MOT time, if they block a rear door, is that a fail? what if i delock and permamnently close the doors? the car in mind will be fully stripped with only 2 seats - do the rear doors have to open?
TIA

Yikes that sounds worryingly misguided. Any car that deserves to have a side exit exhaust does not have 4 doors. And no you couldnt delock and permanently shut the rear ones unless you made it possible for passengers in the rear to easily bail out of the front - folding front seat style.

thanks for the replies guys - seems then that i can do it as long as i dont get too carried away! im using a 4 door as its what ive been given and to mess around swapping bits and pieces about is going to be a real headache. therefore im sticking with 4 doors. by delocking and running the car with only 2 seats im hopeful that the MOT aspect can be worked around, but there are other problems to overcome before i have to make a firm decision!
