Default Iva Results

ok folks here goes

unsuprisingly i failed but there isnt much to fix and my tester was VERY nice and told me evrything i needed to do extremely helpfull, seems to be rarther inpressed with the entire car (even if i do say so my self hehehe)

Test started at 8:45 ish was done by 10:45

failed on

1) Emissions: basicly im sure you will remember a few days ago we thought it was running lean....well actualy it was running rich..... VERY rich so blew my emmissions test out compleatly

Fix: power comander and dyno run

2) braket that holds rear break pipe T peice lightly to vibrate

Fix: make a new one out of steel as oposed to the ally one curently fitted

3) interiour fittings: internal rad on dials not 2.5mm

Fix: glue on O-Rings round the dials

4: Steering wheel pad not hard enough has to be shore 50 and i need to mount it in a more profeshonal way ie not insulating tape

Fix pad with tougher foam and secure with velcro

5: exteriour projections track rod lock nuts and top ball joint lock nut

Fix: wireing gland gaitors on track rods and ball joint gaitor over the ball joint lock nut

6: wheel arches to short do not cover full dia of wheel

Fix: extend front of arch

7: front indicators angles of visability

fix: mount on nose cone

so all in all a good test, very quick, very plesant once i new id failed i realy began to enjoy it

since i found out the engine was running rich rarther than lean i drove it home as well insted of putting it in the trailor...

chears tilly

Well that's not so bad Tilly

Other than the emissions ........... The rest should be a doddle to fix

I guess you'll soon have that list sorted & back for a re-test in the very near future

Well done mate

Congrads Tilly, thats a nice small fail list there.

When you say the front arches are too short, where did you get them from? Just so I know to avoid them.

Well done Tilly and thanks for posting the results so we know for our own tests. Does not sound too bad at all as long as the emissions are sorted without too much grief.
Well done that man

Just out of interest .... How is your roll bar fixed .... In particular the backstays .... One bolt, Two bolt's or welded

Just thought it would be usefull to know & gauge if there are variations between test centres
