Ah ha, I was bored at lunchtime and filled the IVA form in today as it happens :D
I don't plan to send it off for a while though!

Don't loose it ;)

TT

I won't lose it, not after all the head-scratching and googling trying to figure out what to put on it!!!

On a related note I called Mazda this week to ask for a proof of engine age letter from them for IVA, I've added a post to the MX5 donor thread here:

This evening I have mostly been cutting out and shaping some mesh for my nose cone grill:





Haven't quite decided how to fix it in place yet, I'm tempted to just sikaflex it.


I also decided to give up trying to make my current seats fit and ordered a pair of cub sport L7's from kit parts direct earlier today :rolleyes:

Drill some holes in the corners and hold it in place with cable ties.

That's my side repeaters fitted. I went the little round LED ones in the rear wings:




Whilst I was at it I fibre-glassed in a couple of cable-tie bases each side to hold the wires in place:

Got my proof of donor/engine age letter from Mazda today.
Cost of letter: £35
Not needing a CAT: priceless :D

Hi,

Would I be right in thinking you dont need this for a UK model as date first registered on the V5 would be proof the age of the engine?

Hi Stot,

I've done a bit of googling on this, and the answer is I don't know!

From what I can tell it's down to the individual tester whether they will accept the V5 as proof of engine age or not.
Bear in mind that IVA emissions are based on engine age and not donor age, and it's possible that the engine on the V5 may not have been the engine originally installed.

Personally I didn't have much choice because whoever imported my donor didn't put the full engine number on the V5, just the first two characters of it :rolleyes:

Yeah I guess thats unlikely but still a consideration the IVA tester might have. :rolleyes:

Cheers
