Well Done Wasa,

Looking really nice to and nearly ready for IVA, looks like you shouldn't have too much trouble.

Hope that's a private road OR you could book a pre MOT inspection and have a good blast out / shakedown.

All the Best....AndyH

wow

nice car :cool:

I must say it runs very quiet, have you had the decibel,s checked? if so what were the readings please?
I,m asking as my exhaust seems a little loud "er" :o :eek:
I think I might need a better silencer.

A big well done :cool:

cheers
andy

Stick some wire wool in the silencer for iva :P

Thats a good idea Dave, Tho i,d be worried that the wool would blow out just at the wrong moment :eek: :o

My silencer is an old Robin Hood one that I got cheap, only prob is, its not the type that can be taken apart, so might try shoving some wire wool up its jacksy & hope for the best :D

cheers
andy

Like the look of your car OP, bet that drive felt good.
Handyandy, if your exhaust is like the one on my 2b my advise would be to bin it. It is just a hollow chamber, I had to make a tube to go in the xhaust and restrict the flow, you can't add silencer material without having a removable end. I might be able to source you another one the same as mine if that's any good? Mine is off a Caterham, it's fully repackable.

Cheers Enoch, I,ll send you a PM :)

cheers

Andy, you're Robin hood silencer defo wont pass IVA.
I used one of those plus an extra short silencer,
check pic

I only just scraped through SVA, and the IVA limit is defo lower.

Cheers David,

Yes my silencer is the same as in your photo,
oh well, it only cost me a fiver so not a major loss :eek: :D

Enoch is kindly trying to source me another one :)

cheers
andy

*****DONT BIN IT*****

I'll give you your fiver back for it Andy, bought time it was my turn for a bargain......:o

Cheers...AndyH

I'll give you sick squid....:p

Oh bu**er I've got do IVA this time....

Not tested yed. Any one got a sound meter and want to pop by ?

Cracking Video there big wassa :cool:
