Will I Pass Tech Inspection?

I have never been to an autocross before and Sunday is the first one of the season and I planned on going but I have a question: Will I pass the tech inspection since I have 1 broken strut bolt? Do they even look under the hood? Any thoughts are appreciated

I would expect that you will pass. They will see that your car is new and probably not look it over too hard. I would recommend getting it fixed though, hate to see it break and then your car goes off course and....

I'm not worried about it breaking because I've been driving on it for a while. I've done over 100 and i drive it like i stole it so its good. And I'm not gonna be goin tommorow anyway cause i just forn out its like 3 hours away so I'm not gonna go.

hmmm. i dunno how cool i am with trying to sneak by tech. it's one thing if you don't know... but if you're aware, it's really not a good idea to be unsafe.

Yeah, I wasn't condoning it either, I was just saying that they probably wouldn't notice.

Also, going 100 on the highway wouldn't really be anything bad for the car suspension wise...unless you were doing that on a rock road...

Yea i ended up not going and I wasn't trying to sneak by or anything I was just wondering it that is something they would check or whatever. I do plan on fixing it as soon as I get my lowering springs which shouldn't be too much longer.
