SVA Pass First Time
Woooohoooo Passed on the first go
Really good day started out at 6 this morning drove the first 20 miles to the test center then put it on the trailer. The drive was good but it did
manage to break my exhaust rubber but luckily we arrived a bit early and cobbles together a replacement.
Went through the speed test with a little adjustment then to my supprise sailed throught the emmisions test!! then onto under car all good, brakes
next which wasnt so good the fronts were fine but the rears were not stopping at all so he let me take it out and bleed them in the car park last a
noise test 100db  and to finish just has to add some trim to my tunnel cover
was impressed with the weight as well with a full tank and no driver 438kgs
Thanks to MNR and everyone on here for their help
Pics to follow when i get a min later

Well done that man, Just the DVLA now.
Beware of the Goldfish in the tulip mines. The ONLY defence against them is smoking peanut butter sandwiches.

Well done
Are you sure on the weight, 438kg's with a full tank seems a bit light to me.

Well done Paul. car is unreal looking, if mine turns out half as well i'd be proud.
ps wheels fit a treat, thanks
UNDERSTEER is when you hit the wall with the front of the car.
OVERSTEER is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car.
HORSEPOWER is how fast you hit the wall.
TORQUE is how far you take the wall with you.
