yes you do, they used to inspect them outside the dvla office at Stockton but due to H&S bull they are not allowed to plus you're not allowed to drive it there.

Track Day Ahead......... We all deserve one.

Sounds like a plan.

Ditching the throttle bodies for carbs first, can't get my head around getting them set up properly.

dont really see how as they will still have to be setup on a rr.

if i were you i would wait until you have driven it a bit. you need to go out with your laptop setup in logging mode, drive the thing then go home and look at the logs make the changes off line to sort out the lean spot then go out again and test. once you have got it pretty goo just use the auto tune to finish it off. if you want to get that last little bit out of it take it to the rr and get it finished off.

also what is a good carb setup and manifold going to cost? £200? well thats the cost of a rr day but you dont have to do any of the work.

I see what you mean, its just all the faf with acceleration enrichment settings and stuff that you dont have to bother with carbs.

Once its on the road. I'll decide.
