J15 IVA Pass :-)
How the hell did that happen?? Failed last Tuesday, passed today! 10 minute re-test, in 20 minutes early and a happy inspector!
Happy days! Now into battle with the DVLA.
Somebody asked me about weight last week. 571kgs with a full tank of fuel (about 5 gallons). I also have steel bodied shocks, not ally. I didn't
set out to build it superlight, even tough it is probably 20 kg more than I was expecting.
At least I know which car I'll be going to Le Mans in now!

Nice one!
Have you got the registration wheels in motion? 2 weeks to Stoneleigh and I've only ever seen Jeremy's own car there. Would be good to see
some owners J15 make it.

Congratulations. Can I ask what it failed first time on? And what the fix was?
Mark.

Well done Paul, another J15 about to hit the roads.
If my car is in one piece after a sprint at Goodwood this weekend I hope to be at Stoneleigh if the weather is OK.

Thanks guys. I really appreciate all the nice comments. The fail was for handbrake efficiency. The balance was all wrong L>R and I really
hadn't paid enough attention to lubrication and general set up. Fair cop guv!!
I got my IAC at 2 pm and was at the DVLA by 4 pm and am waiting for an inspection (maybe/maybe not) appointment call tomorrow. I've got the guys
name so he won't be avoiding me.
Stoneleigh on Monday is a distinct possibility, weather and DVLA permitting!!
