Brutal. Can't you get the mods certified instead?

Here in Switzerland you'll pay a (potentially big) fine, and the car will be taken off the road - giving you the opportunity to go get all the mods certified, or to return to stock. Only street racing will lead to the car being confiscated and auctioned off.

Sounds very similar.

Yes you can get modification plates for some items.

However, some things like a Willwood brake kit cannot because "Race only".

You can do a brake swap or upgrade like Rx7 but by the letter of the law you must swap the entire brake system.

Air intake system must be factory and enclosed with a breather back into the intake.

Rose joints etc a no because race only.

Interior has to be factory or approved aftermarket seat and rail.

That photo reminds me of a certain AE86. Do you still own the Chowini Macau AE86?

You have a good memory Art.

Yes I do, the 1983,84,85,86 GrpA Macau car,,

A good few years ago I also managed to get my hands on a sister car, the 1986 Macau GrpA car.

Exact same circumstances, car unused since 1986

Both are in storage for now.

This car I am building now has a few spare tribute items, like a spare 10,000 rpm tacho and the 1983 wheels.
