I cant apply for my IVA yet because of my VIN number. I emailed the MASET team a couple of weeks ago. Quote:

Well I have my new VIN now so ill get it welded in and Apply for my IVA.
I have been trying to tidy some stuff up too. I covered my MX5 steering wheel pad with red leather to match the dash centre and laser engraved a horn push logo onto it. It fits pretty well and a 150mm radius cant contact the remaining spokes so should be good for IVA as they use a 165mm ball. Ill take the MX5 wheel with me just in case they try and pull the 'not permanent' thing, but I would argue who would go to all the trouble for something they weren't going to leave on! Also been working on a COP tie down for the valve cover. Its very handy having a laser cutter to be able to make card templates before commiting it to metal! Cheers Stot |
You may/may not have a problem with a welded on VIN No,its supposed to be not easily removable and part of the chassis I believe.

Ive fully welded it. I did it like Skov, cut out a piece and welded in a piece.

If it was me I would put the Mazda steering wheel on. While yours looks fine, I think the inspector 'judges' a lot by looking at the car. When I took mine for IVA, he immediately remarked on the rubber trim everyhwere, when he actually got the tool out - he walked around the car once and put the tool back in the cupboard without using it. Oh I also found that a mint assortment helped the inspection process as well...... |
I made myself a corner scale yesterday.
Using the area of the piston you can work out the Display PSI>Actual Pounds>Actual Kilos. Each PSI segment on this one is 6.4kg and you can easilly read 1/2 segments, so a ~3kg resolution upto 320kg. Total cost was about £30 including 1/4" BSP taps that I can use for other projects. I could make another 3 of these for £20 each and do all the corner weights all at the same time, and even use the jacks to level off before reading. :cool: Cheers Stot |
If this forum pooled its collective knowledge we could rule the world !:cool:

Tried it out today, the car was on a slight rearward slope but it was a general weight I wanted at this point. Front Driver - 520PSI = 165kg Front Passenger - 500PSI = 159kg Rear Driver - 470PSI = 149kg Rear Passenger - 470PSI = 149kg So an all up weight of 622kg isn't bad. Cheers Stot |
