sva retest today
2nd attempt at SVA today!
wasnt feeling too happy about it since i'd failed 2 mot emissiosn tests on saturday, but decided to just go for it and cross a few things off my
list.
1st test (might as well have got it out the way first) was emissions..
basically went through on FIRST ATTEMPT!
new cat was superb, did a great job. And my high lambda was cured with liberal application of fire weld around the outside of the exhaust headers.
Its now borderline too low so I guess its running a bit rich!
a few extra bits and bobs were crossed off in 5 mins and then it was time for a new noise test (had to do it again since exhaust was modified)
now up from 97 to 101 which is borderline but got away with it.
last test, self centering.. I'd taken the negative camber out, and put a tiny bit of toe out on it. I'd tried increasing tyre pressure
on the way to the SVA but it felt a bit wierd. very light, and a bit skittish so i deflated them again before I got there and it seemed to do the
trick! another pass!
SO ITS A PROPER PASS!  
it felt great, lots of dancing! 
only slightly marred by stopping at DVLA en route home to hand documents over, and being told they couldnt inpect it then, and will have to organise
an inspection at a later date... bugger!
and then marred again by being pulled my the plod (again!) for driving without plates... GAH!
so.. inspection, and then hopefully registration!
i must say, with the new dynojet needles in it goes like the clappers! much more impressed this time!!

Well done and about time.
I seem to recall you getting your kit a week before me yet its taken 18 months to get an SVA. I hope it made the success all the more sweet.
Get some number plates and enjoy the summer weather (if we get any)
well done.
