Marlin 5exi pass's IVA :-)
Hi all,
2.5 years after starting the Marlin has just passed its IVA at Derby Test Station. Think this may be the :first: Marlin 5exi to have undergone a full IVA rather than SVA. Well Chuffed, now the hard work starts. David. |
Well done !! :smile: :smile: :smile:
|
Congratulations! :D
|
Well done David. A great achievment.
As you say, now you can start playing! |
Congrats !!!
What was your donor car?? Is this a successful first attempt and first time pass? |
2nd time pass, the first time it failed on Emissions, and a few radius/light issues.
Based on a rover 25 1.6 k-series donor. Now to sort out insurance and the paperwork for the DVLA. |
Good work! How is the suspension after your worries about the travel / ground clearance?
Interesting choice of test centre - how did that come to be? |
Many congratulations, a great achievment :hail:

Thx,
Yeah I sorted the suspension at least enough to get through the test, some very stiff springs and wound right down and new wheels (as the ones I had got wouldnt fit without cutting bodywork). Also sorted some of the other problems that delayed my first IVA. Its a bit go-kart like though at the moment needs some adjustment. I went for Derby as some of my friends take cars through there, also I was a bit nervy about the number of kitcars Norwich would have seen. Had a very good experience with the IVA tester, throughly nice bloke was really interested in the car and seemed to realise the practicalities of building as well as the manual. |
Forgot to say, rang up to get insurance yesterday, did it through Adrian Flux, aparently theres a 5exi out there that has 4 seats someone modded it and extended the chassis !!!! Now that I have to see.
