Maybe I have to move to Sweden where almost all carmodifications are streetlegal..hmm..it makes me wondering about Real Turbo bad-ass killer 360 :twisted: :twisted: yarrr..
Actually Swedish laws don't differ so much from Finnish.. They too have the same power limitations as here (+20%), and they have limitations for torque too which we don't have. :P So it is not so much better. Though they have the "home built car"-law which basically allows you to build a car as you want but it is not anywhere near simple to get a vehicle registered as one.

Laws in Finland are pretty much good if you choose the right yearmodel for the base car. Kinda big modifications are allowed. Only problems which I see are those which limit the modifications of axle structures etc... for example rear axle must be a factory part, even though if the self made part would be stronger than the stock one.. Of course you can always take stronger ones from different cars but it's not always easy to find suitable ones. :P The biggest size for wheels is also stupid. For example Pukema has now some problems because he has bought the E55 AMG brake discs for his 360 but with those the wheel size would increase so much that it wouldn't be legal.

Norway on the other hand seems to be a nice place, though I don't know if those crazy cars are also under some "home built car"-law but for example this Group-B Lancia is street legal in Norway.
