Did you get the Sentra tech inspected for your NHIS event? I was looking at the enrollment requirements and it seems like a tech inspection- with brake bleed during inspection- is required for the driving school...

Just wondering if you had the Sentra inspected and where...

i had it inspected at the event. They always want you to bleed your brakes for every event. I will probably do that for the NHIS event. You have to make sure the car is empty and free of anything that isn't screwed down, nothing in the glove box or trunk.

That said, even with the amazing tech inspection there were still cars that lost wheels on the track, blew their motors up and spun out due to lack of brakes. Just make sure your car is in sound condition and it should be fine. Do you know the tech requirements for the autox day?

As far as I can tell it was just a helmet, nothing in the car, working seat belts, tires with tread, and a general walk-around inspection.

I will show you a cool trick the instructor taught me on how to make a normal seat belt act a harness

Fluid Mechanics sucks! Good luck buddy! And yes, I did get the tires mounted. As mentioned before, I need spacers to clear the front calipers, which are on their way...
