Looking forward to LIVT

I'm looking forward to coming Legal Inspection Vehicle Test.

Required tasks for VW 1302 Beetle are followings:
Replacements, brake master cylinder with stop lamp switch,
left side wheel cylinders,
ball joints in steering linkage hinge points 6 in total,
steering gear box universal joint boots,
wheels & tires,
muffler tail pipes or muffler itself,
gear box oil,
engine oil,
Exhaust gas check by special device,
Frontal toe-in checking,
Head lamps into H4 type, coupler terminal positions exchanging,
and rear seat must be moved for the convenience of checking chassis No.
Considering the circumstances, next year the better for legal inspection vehicle test.

12 times wheel alignments for over 10 years interval of trials made it possible to satisfy my dreamy desire to accomplish the ideal steering reactions.
For the sake of this happy event, I determined to replace the tires on BC7 SUBARU Legacy LSi US model into Bridgestone POTNZA RE-01, relatively older design, no other model had the tire size 195/60R-15 except RE-01.

As the suspension springs and shock absorbers are changed into Impreza GDB model's ones, this kind of high performance tire must just suit on BC7 Legacy. Engine mounts are also GDB's ones.
About BS Sneaker 165/80R-15 tires for Super Beetle, according to the opinion by some VW shop owner, two ranks up steering reactions would be desirable comparing with old designed Michelin XZX tires.
After acquiring the license plate on VW Beetle, the same adjusting procedures are waiting for me as performed before on BC7 SUBARU Legacy.

EP82 TOYOTA Starlet has some right side tendency, setback and thrust angle must be checked again. The clutch in starter motor sometimes catches and looses smooth returning, the parts is prepared as new rebuild parts.

XH200 Opel B-Vectra '97 model needs more precise scaling on thrust angle, because I feel some error on the straight running like 20seconds error though I'm not sure, value may be plus.

SXE-10 TOYOTA Alteza need also precise scaling on wheel bases and thrust angle checking, just a little bit more adjustments may be necessary.
Tasks on automobile as my hobby never be ruined.
