IVA Pass!!

Well after a long hard slog I finally passed my IVA Retest today!! What a great feeling you can't knock the smile off my face

The emissions were a nightmare! I took her to an MOT Station last week, and after an hour or so found a map that would pass with the AIS system blocked off because installed it was pushing my Lambda out (Also found an exhaust leak and rebuilt the exhaust new gaskets and silicone sealing all the joints)

Went to the IVA today still nervous and uploaded this map imagining what it might be like for the tester to turn round and say Good job, passed! Instead he turned round and said your miles out...My head dropped again! he allowed me a little tweak with the map and said lets go fingers crossed and it passed

I just want to say Thanks to everyone. This site and Locost community has been helped me more than any build manual could. Also a big thankyou to Andy Bates for all his help. cheers mate!

Great!! Well done!





I no longer run Furore Products or Furore Cars Ltd, but would still highly recommend them for Acewell dashes, projector headlights, dominator headlights, indicators, mirrors etc, best prices in the UK! Take a look at http://www.furoreproducts.co.uk/ or find more parts on Ebay, user names furoreltd & furoreproducts, discounts available for LCB users.
Don't forget Stainless Steel Braided brake hoses, made to your exact requirements in any of around 16 colours. http://shop.ebay.co.uk/furoreproducts/m.html?_dmd=1&_ipg=50&_sop=12&_rdc=1

Well done that man.

Glad you got it sorted





You couldn't pwn your way out of a wet paper bag, with "PWN ME!!" written on it, from the "pwned take-away" which originally contained one portion of chicken tikka pwnsala and the obligatory free pwnpadom.
