They’ll deem ANYTHING they possibly can unfit, unfit. As for using your beater, the crack will deny you access to the test. > > 2. If you still choose to use a manual vehicle, make sure you downshift when slowing and rev match, remove your foot from the clutch and rest it on the dead pedal, and when starting in gear (1st at a light) DO NOT blip the throttle AT ALL. Slowly disengage it without any form of “revving”. > > Did a couple classes of driving school with my old Integra and this is everything he told me to do if I choose to use it for my test. I had a super cool driving instructor as well…Good thing I only did driving school to shorten my waiting time between licenses and a slightly cheaper insurance rate. I find with the 240 it’s a lot easier to do that because the clutch is stiffer, but it’d be audible because the exhaust. Looking at that link that boostISbeat posted, they would fail me before I started the car for one of too many ridiculous things they could use to fail me. Holy fucking pita. Hills would be a bitch to let the clutch out without blipping and not rolling. The dead pedal is something I need to practice using, and the no blipping may be a pita situation with the instructor. Chris, I may have to take you up on the Cressy offer. I had a feeling about the train tracks. The tracks always felt like a spot an instructor could easily find a reason to justify a fail. Thanks men. You guys just saved me a bunch of money, hassle, and frustration. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/g-road-test-in-a-modified-vehicle/130534)._
