Cutting Bump Stops? - KrisCampbell - 31-12-2013 I was wondering if anyone on here knew what Mr MOT man would think if I cut my bump stops down a bit? I was told that it makes for a smoother ride, as mines quite bumpy currently cus she's down 2 nicks at the back and shortened shocks. RE: Cutting Bump Stops? - underground375 - 31-12-2013 Just abit of rubber, wouldn't think it would be a problem. RE: Cutting Bump Stops? - welshpug - 31-12-2013 it wont give a smoother ride, it'll be harder as it will just stop dead as it hits the stop rather than progressively slow down. if you want a smoother ride don't have it at a stupid ride height. RE: Cutting Bump Stops? - Paul_13 - 31-12-2013 Amen! RE: Cutting Bump Stops? - KrisCampbell - 01-01-2014 Well it's already sittin on the stop so I don't think it'd make too much of an issue. and you see, if she's not decked, she's not felt. RE: Cutting Bump Stops? - silverzx - 01-01-2014 Mine just passed with NO bump stops, it's not a failure just an advisory. If they tell you otherwise they're having you off. RE: Cutting Bump Stops? - Piggy - 01-01-2014 And when she felt....she looks crap RE: Cutting Bump Stops? - KrisCampbell - 01-01-2014 There we go, the answer I was lookin. all a matter of opinion. :p RE: Cutting Bump Stops? - Piggy - 01-01-2014 and a matter of handling...thus safety...think it should fail if theres no ride height left imho even seen a car going over a fast hump, go coilbound, or beam bound as it could be on the rear of these...then shoot off into the nearest tree?? RE: Cutting Bump Stops? - KrisCampbell - 01-01-2014 It can pass MOT at the height it is, I know a couple of guys who've went through how it is. Never seen or even heard of that happen with guys I know. Even a guy I know who went 3 nicks, never had that happen. RE: Cutting Bump Stops? - Toms306 - 01-01-2014 You cant get any speed up with that sort of ride height so it wont be a problem. RE: Cutting Bump Stops? - welshpug - 01-01-2014 as above, lol. RE: Cutting Bump Stops? - KrisCampbell - 01-01-2014 As Tom said. I never bought her for speed, bought her for getting me from A to B. And that she does! At almost 170,000 miles, she wouldnt exactly be a prime candidate for speed either. :p RE: Cutting Bump Stops? - welshpug - 01-01-2014 bollocks. Miles of pugracing's 285k Miler RE: Cutting Bump Stops? - KrisCampbell - 01-01-2014 Well the most I'd be looking out of mine is a stage one remap, just for that extra power for getting round the McDonalds drive thru faster. RE: Cutting Bump Stops? - Toms306 - 01-01-2014 You haven't even stage 1'd it yet? Oh dear, in that case there's definitely not gonna be any speed issues! RE: Cutting Bump Stops? - E_KEL95 - 01-01-2014 Cut bumpstops are MOT failure an youd needa watch mines was 2 nicks last year and failed cause she was on them, but some get away with it some dont, throw her down another an then youll know a bouncy ride lol RE: Cutting Bump Stops? - KrisCampbell - 01-01-2014 Nope, she's bog standard engine wise, takes so long to get my 99p double cheeseburger. still contemplating whether or not to do it, have a spare set of stops if I needed...there's MOT centres over here that are known for being easy to pass in...see what happens! RE: Cutting Bump Stops? - E_KEL95 - 01-01-2014 Aye try your luck lad some are easier than others, mines was literally about a mil from the bumpstop an he failed me, but just raised her up this time round saves a retest fee RE: Cutting Bump Stops? - dturbodave - 05-01-2014 Kris your yoke isnt even low youd need tl put bigger bumpstops in for them to be any use at all RE: Cutting Bump Stops? - KrisCampbell - 07-01-2014 Says the one. took me a minute to realise what gimp that was driving the felt spec HDI with the stupid sticker on the back window, then I realised theres only one person stupid enough. HAARRRRRIIIIISSSS!
