Out of interest next time you have your car running and cooling fan on put your headlights on and check your voltage if you don't mind?
Only wondering as the voltage on mine drops pretty low with headlights on if rad fan kicks in at idle.
Shows over 14 volts with nothing on,but seems to struggle once loaded.
it's not really surprising looking at the gauge of the wire from the rectifier though

Cracking build, so detailed.
Is that a 22B lurking in the background?
That would be the gobstopper. You should see the videos of that car. It is nuts! 800+bhp time attack car.
The standard looking blue one in the pic above?
The first blue one has 22b wheels and is a 2 door and as there weren't many 2 door old Skool about and the quality so of the other cars in the
photos thought it might be the real deal

Well got the reverse motor re adjusted, then put a top hat washer in the hole above resting on the bracket, should stop it pushing its self away
again
Also made some washer things to sort the sharp edges out on my seatbelt bolts
Painted and fitted
Bit of a stack but should keep the IVA man happy
Also got some nut covers on my wheel nuts as the stud was poking through the nut
And that's about it, all ready for Friday morning I hope

Well got up this morning about 4:45 as I couldn't sleep, walked the dog and got the bonnet on etc, 6am came and my Dad turned up with the
trailer, got it loaded up, I had a car cover so put this on as it was raining
Set off and the cover was blowing everywhere, so took it back off, it wasn't raining to hard
Got to the test station, unloaded the car and parked up, 8:30 the roller door went up and he got started, checked all the projections to start with,
said the bottom of the headlight bracket wasn't rounded enough
Then looked over the brakes, happy with the balance bar being lock wired, but not happy with the rubber tube from the brake fluid pot to the
cylinders, he asked if I had a recipt, but I couldn't find it,
Seat belts, all good, said they were fine but I could remove the spacers lifting them up, (the spacers were only for IVA anyway) he said the belts
would be ok resting on the seat as the hole was trimmed,
Had a good look around the car, then checked the reverse gear, but the way I had wiried it, the prime switch put the light on then the engage switch
reverses the car, but he said no good as you could leave the light on
Also the digi dash buttons needed locking as they hide the speedo when in a menu
Checked the speedo, all fine,
Emissions were spot on
Then he went and weighed it and try the brake balance I think
510kg and brakes good,
Onto the ramp, had a look underneath, checked lock to lock,
The headlights, said they were spot on
Just the brake test and noise left
Tested the brakes but said he has to work the figures out
Outside for the noise test, I was pooing it by this point, 97db so just under
Then he said if you want to go to your car and try n sort those 4 bits out
Well me and my dad, you would of thought we were going to miss the grid at the F1
Edge trim on the headlight brackets
I set about the wiring, re wired the reverse light so it was correct, and unwired the dash buttons
Just the brake pipe to sort, I rang rally design where it was from, them emailed me the spec sheet,
He came over and checked everything and said you've Passed
Went and did the paperwork and job done
So happy! I said I wouldn't have minded a fail but when I was there I didn't want to have to do a re test
So just need to fill my reg forms out now!

Excellent well done!
Interesting about the reverse light,as I know of atleast one car that's passed like the original way you had it wired recently!
So you had to wire it so it's only lit when the car is moving?
Pretty sure he's wrong about the harnesses too,edging trim does not make the seat structual I'm sure!

Well done, a good job
Did you go to Nottingham? Had my test there in 2013 with the reverse wired as you had it originally, and it passed!

Cheers for all the interest and coments, yeah was at nottingham, the bloke was very thourough, as for the light, i thought it went out if put in gear
but i didnt, i may just add a warning light or something, i dont mind as it was an easy fix, would of been better than being ove 99db or something
Also got my forms all done and posted, what a nightmare, my dads printer was rubish so had to go down my mates, took me all night to sort it, so
fingers crossed,

Congrats mate, looks like all your hard work has paid off!
If disfunction is a function, then I must be some kind of genius.

Chapter Two
Right, now to start the fun jobs,
Aero, got a few bits I want to get done before my reg turns up really
Nose cone canards
Made some templates
Then cut them out of some carbon sheet, used two jigsaw blades! It's such tough stuff!
Then needed some little brackets, my dad had some 20x20 aluminium angle so had an idea
Then turned around for the 2nd side
These will be bolted to the canards and the nose cone

As good as they look on competition cars I'm not a fan on a road car,especially when they are made of very hard and sharp carbon fibre.
I just have images in my head of someone's leg after being hit by a car with those fitted

Yeah some of the fins I've seen are only real thin and razeor sharps on the edge, the carbon I've used is 5mm thick so I'm still
able to get a 2.5mm rad on the edges which would off passed IVA to

Got a bit done this week, got the canards finished and fitted, bit tricky getting both sides the same but my dad eyed them up!
My dad made me some blacking plates so I could remove the air bypass bumf
Next job, rear diffuser, more brackets made by my dad
Brackets mounted on suspension bolts
Rough card template
1.5mm aluminium, blank canvas!
Folding back edge up
Getting there
Got to have some bead rolling
Fins added, going to nut and bolt these after paint I think, that way if one gets damaged i can just replace it
Looks a bit over the top but that's what I wanted, not bad for £15 for the aluminium sheet!
