Queries from IVA Form
Hi, me again!
Just completing my IVA application for my bought but un-registered Locost and stuck on the following questions:
What is the maximum design road-speed of the vehicle? - Engine is a silver top zetec
What are the design weights of the vehicle?
Thanks in advance

ensure your tyre speed ratings are higher than max design speed

Design speed is to ensure your tyres are up to the job - so if you put 150mph, your tyres need to be rated for that!
Design weights - this will define what your maximum permissible weight can be, and I believe it is also used for some of the brake calculations. Do a
search and see what people have used for similar cars, but a fair bet might be 450kg per axle.

About 120mph its so they know what rating the tyre need to be and I think there rated to 149mph.
I've already put the axle weights on the manufactures plate on the bulkhead.

Might be a good idea to take a black touch up stick, a failure reported was to much info on VIN plate.

Thanks 40inches; I'd gleaned that from a post elsewhere on the forum and already thrown one into my tool kit

As far as I know the only thing on your vin that isn't needed is the engine number.
But keep us posted
