Sva Pass
Hi Guys
SVA pas first time today in Cardiff.
Not off to a great start when the engine boiled during the emission test (the dreaded air lock to the heater). this wouldn't have been so bad but the stupid PLASTIC domestic heater pipe joining two hoses near the engine actually split open. I think alloy mods will be fitted. A shame that these are not supplied with the kit!!!!! The tester was fantastic and he allowed me to go and get a length of pipe from a local plumbers merchant and then fit it to the car. He did all his measurements etc whilst i was gone. A couple of points raised by him. He did not like the fact the shocks are upsidedown but said if anyone asks him, they were the right way up in the test. He asked me to remove the access plate under the tunnel to have a look and decided that it was a waste of time. It was the first 5exi he had done and the first kit car with ABS. Although i had spaced the back lights out from the body, he was not happy that he could see them at 80 degees from the side. He allowed me to space them a bit more and passed it. What a GUY. The weights Marlin give are way out. Mine actually weighs 740kg.
Next task is to register it. Does anyone have the gen for me to go about it? How long does it take?
Sorry for the long thread but i am CHUFFED
Cheers
