Very nice, good luck with the SVA.


Andy W - 18/1/09 at 07:02 PM

Looks great, hope to be at that stage in about a month. Good luck with SVA.
Have you had the car set up for emissions yet, I'd appreciate any power commander tips

Andy


jambo - 18/1/09 at 07:05 PM

i tried to play with no joy with the commander and a gas analyser for 3 hours.
looking like a fail unless someone comes to my aid at the last minute.


adithorp - 18/1/09 at 07:16 PM

Looks good.

Front indicators look to be too far in from the widest part of the car (prob' rear wings). They should be no more than 400mm (IIRC) max from the outside edge.

Nice Work Jamie

Well done it looks great, just a few points that will fail SVA

Cycle wings will need u-trim around as there is no return edge, Indicators are too far in from widest part of car & are those mirrors E marked as they look like racetech & if so will fail the radius test.


stuart_g - 18/1/09 at 08:50 PM

Well done, Car looks very very nice.

As stated in other posts mirrors, indicators and edge trim on front arches need to be addressed.

I like the idea of the electric hand brake. Can you post up some detials.

I have a centre for the steering wheel if you haven't got one. If you want it U2U me your address and I'll send it tomorrow first class so you should get it in time.

ETA: Good luck for Wednesday.

Have you spoken to your SVA centre about the electric brake?


jambo - 19/1/09 at 01:14 AM

my last car had this at sva aswell,no probs with it then.


neilj37 - 19/1/09 at 07:54 AM

Good luck on Wednesday and good to see another MNR in Scotland. At this rate we will be able to have an owners meet !!


sucksqueezebangblow - 19/1/09 at 09:35 AM

Really nice work!


Winston Todge - 19/1/09 at 01:07 PM

Looks grand!

Just a quickie. You worried about the radiusing on the bike clocks? Are they outside the exclusion zone of the Sierra wheel?

I'm wondering as mine are a similar distance away from the wheel and not radiused...

Good luck with the SVA!

Chris.

paublo999 - 19/1/09 at 09:35 PM

Hi,

Car looks great Jambo.

Although I have failed miserably to get in touch with him, he is in South Lanarkshire beside me... down the M74

Where about are you Wells?

Cheers
Paul


Wells - 19/1/09 at 09:45 PM

You should know I offered you a run in my car a few months ago before yoy bought the green beastie. Its John


paublo999 - 19/1/09 at 10:07 PM

Hi Mate...

Mine is almost ready... lots of little snags

Need to get a Scotland meet together.

Maybe aim for one of the hillclimbs or sprints which are only a few months away now.

You can cheer on a fellow MNR owner

Paul.


jambo - 20/1/09 at 12:24 AM

meet up.

paublo999 - 20/1/09 at 01:59 PM

good lad


jambo - 21/1/09 at 09:05 PM

failed the test today on
1. indicators not within the 400
2. not happy with the electric handbrake release,although it was passed ok in the last car with the same guy.
3. handbrake not strong enough.
all in all a good day.


paublo999 - 21/1/09 at 09:14 PM

although a fail, a pretty good one.. well done mate..

mnr can loan you SVA compliant indicators on long stalks to get past the new requirements


adithorp - 21/1/09 at 10:45 PM

Hard luck. Good fail all the same. How were the emmisions?

The hand brake is a bit of a pain.
Indicators...well we did say!
