Just got back from Chadderton Vosa with MAC in hand. Passed the retest first attempt on emmisions and right on the limit for noise.

Also got DVLA inspection done this morning and she said I should get registration this week if I pass re-test and get the MAC to her tommorow.

Have to say Chadderton test guys were a pleasure to deal with despite the bad press they get sometimes. They did everything they could to get me through first time and gave me the benefit of the doubt on the noise today.

Thanks to all you guys for the help over the build.

Very happy bunny!

YAY

Well done lad, I'm getting a bit sick of waiting for my test. Sent the forms 5 weeks ago!!

congratulations just in time for the good weather and Newark show

Nice one Adrian, when you taking me out for a ride.

So, are you all booked for the 11th July now then???

Steve

no contact sport

Well done mate! Great feeling isnt it.

All the best

- Jim

Well done

Congratulations Adrian, well done.

I think from what others say and certainly from my experience, the VOSA SVA testers are top blokes, very interested in our cars and do their level best to get them through the Test.

The DVLA on the other hand.....................

Steve, I'm all booked and paid up for the 11th. Thanks for the advice on the Power commander. Just need to put the old map back as it was playing up at light throttle, not that it'll see much of that! Should be able to sort it properly when Chris gets the JAW deal sorted.

Joe, soon as I get plates I'll come and see you.

DVLA have been OK so far. She was pretty positive this morning that it'd be sorted this week.

Diffinatly going to make it to Newark. Really enjoyed the show last year but I'm sick of going to these things in the TinTop. Nice drive there from here as well.

The noise test was at 8300 (think I put 11250 for max power revs) but I had trouble holding at that and one test was about 8500 and the second at 8000. The first was slightly over (102db) but the second under and he took the average. Very nice man (despite being rumoured to be a stickler for the rules).

The initial fail was at 102.6db but it was missfireing and spiking to 9500. I changed to new plugs and richned to map at that area to smooth it out.

Well done Adrian. The guys at Manchester are very helpful second time round.

Lets hope for some nice weather
