Hi Guys,
Please can you have a look at my build and let me know if you spot any IVA fail points.
IGNORE the holes in the scuttle. that's where my repeaters once were. will fill the holes before IVA
I also have a bonnet to put on obviously.
I also am going to get the tracking done tomorrow so have not yet covered the track rods.
That looks nice
Adjusting nut at base of centre mirror may need covering.
Hows my exhaust,gas bottles and regulator
Gotta say thats looking pretty good though.

Nose cone has no grille. Fog and reverse lights are on the wrong sides. Can you vent the engine breather to atmosphere via a filter? Thought it had
to be recirculated. Looks very nice.

-camber adjuster locknut needs covering
-not sure eyebolts on seatbelts are iva compliant either
-you need some 25-30mm pipe around under the spring collet on the front shocks as they have sharp edges
-reverse lever labeling?
-pipes from brake resivoir to cylinder need cabling to secure them more
-seems stupid but i had my foglight mounted like you and it wasnt mounted vertical and that was a fail
-you have taken the sierra wheel off if you have the horn piece for it so that its as you would see it in the sierra then put that back
on as it will defiantly pass as it is already on a production car
very very nice
What colour is it?
It looks very tidy and well put together.
Is the fog light vertical?
Will it get a grill?
Wing Mirror mounts?
Firstly I must say what a nice looking car you have built.
A couple of things I have noticed. Do you have a grill to fit as they might pick up on some radius's possibly.
Secondly the fog and reverse lights are the wrong way round. The fog light has to central or on the offside of the car.
Hope that helps

Track rods = to be covered after tracking is done
engine breather = what should I do about that???
I will adjust the fog light to be vertical and swap them over - doh thats a mission!

Grill = there is one, its just not clear in the photos ]
Wing mirror mounts? They are bolted to the fibreglass?
Its Kawasaki Racing green (metallic)

Cracking colour.
The wing mirror mounts may be close on the external radiusness
Rear exhaust mounting ?
dash warning lights ???
do they have the correct symbols on them, which the light shines through ?
if not you may need to change them

Is fog light vertical and you need a label on bias bar set up worded as in IVA manual
Think you need an oil catch tank too.

No label needed then, looked like you may have two masters I stand corrected
God can't spell, that car looks just great though very nice
[Edited on 5/5/11 by big-vee-twin]
Hi
Your rear FOG and REVERSE lights are on the wrong sides.
Fog MUST be on the right and Reverse can be on any side.
HTH
Tom
Sorry Dave didn't see your post

Yeah thought that today when fitting them, anyone got an idea on how to cover them?

This sort of thing
http://www.getgeared.co.uk/Yamaha_YZF_R1_Motorcycle_Mirror
s/a tape wrap?
Thanks for everyone's input. I'll crack on making those amendments today and repost tonight with new photos.
Like to get this passed on Tuesday
You have done an absolutely cracking job, there - but you wanted some input...
Firstly, The volume inside the assumed planes of the two front wishbones is exempt from radius issues - your top mount of the coilover will need
edging if it both falls outside of this virtual 'box' AND it can be contacted with the 100mm sphere.
Secondly - they will definitely frown on the temporary nature of the steering wheel crash - pad - put the sierra one back on for the test.
Third (and lastly) the Foglight will fail (as others have said) because its on the wrong side and it MUST be fitted on a vertical orientation. The
fog lens is designed to concentrate the emitted light and throw a parrallel beam out - this has to be parrallel to the floor.
Other than that, check that safety - related bolts all have locking devices on them - usually nylocs, but tabs are used in some places. This applies
to suspension bolts, steering column / rack / extensions, braking eg master cylinder mounts. My major fail point was where the steering column
joined to the extension there was no locking device.
Best of luck for next week.

If you're using a Fiesta column / shroud, then what about getting a Fiesta wheel for IVA? Easier to source than Sierra, I'd have thought,
too

I've made the modifications as suggested...
Thoughts?
Cracking looking car, you will need to cover the bottom bolt on the head light, i used a cable gland on mine
Brilliant build, well done.
Shouldn't the exhaust have a cover?

for the steering wheel, everyone will argue with me here, but look what it says in the manual
quote:
Steering wheel construction
It is vital that the wheel is constructed so as to minimise the risk of facial injuries or concussion. The rim of the wheel should be padded or at least made from a material which when deformed does not splinter or fragment. The centre boss should be padded or recessed below the level of the rim. Wheels with a very deep dish are stiffer than flatter wheels and, as such will absorb less energy.
The centre boss will often be of a collapsible type comprising a convoluted crushable section or a series of metal fingers with a deliberate fold introduced to initiate a collapse.
Bolts used to secure the wheel to its boss (if exposed) should ideally be flush with the wheel surface but otherwise are required to meet the radius requirements if contactable.
Bare metal spokes are allowed as long as they conform to the edge radius requirements. Components likely to catch in the driver’s clothing or jewellery are not permitted.
Note: It is possible to fit an 'aftermarket' steering wheel which has been approved for use on any design of column. These will be referred to as “Separate Technical Units”. If the presenter can provide satisfactory documentary evidence that this is the case, a “Separate Technical Unit” may be acceptable.
a current pet hate of mine lol
edge trim round the outer edge of the dash
lots of points have been made, take some trim for the seatbelt ends which attach to the eyebolts, mine were considered too sharp. also does the power feed to the starter motor have a shroud or terminal cover? is your chassis number stamped in the right side?

Steering wheel changed to sierra - modified the fiesta shroud.
just a note, thanks for everyone's input, its very appreciated!!
I'd say the trim round the dash is definatly necessary and would make it look better too. Are you allowed to just tape things up? Thought it had to look as if it was a production car.
Dash edge will have to meet the radius requiremonts. Yours looks like it won't so put some trim on. Not sure about the covers on the seat belt hooks.
I agree with blke in principle but in practice...
"...otherwise are required to meet the radius requirements if contactable..."
Few aftermarket wheels have radii large enough on the spokes to pass.
"...Components likely to catch in the driver’s clothing or jewellery are not permitted..."
That means no slots, so rules out a lot more wheels.
"...If the presenter can provide satisfactory documentary evidence that this is the case..."
Define satisfactory.
Testers tend to err on the side of caution and that oftn leads to them failing aftermarket wheels and home made centre pads.

dash edge trimmed...
Are you working these suggested fixes in real-time??
I think your seat-belt hook covers should be ok - they look the same as Dax supply for just the same job - although I didn't use them myself, as
I went through IVA with bolt-in belts.

Yep, it's bonkers. That big wheel will help with the exempt area
How much do the clocks protrude as, unless they fall within the "exempt area " around the wheel (diameter of the wheel +127mm) they may need
to be radiused where they protrude from the dash. Does that trim on the dash make it impossible for a 10mm ball to contact the edge; It'll need
to to pass?
Fast work though. Don't think I've seen alterations done so quick after comments.

Stu - your car looks stunning. Good job sir....!
difficult to tell but I think only the far left one is outside the exempt area. Cut a ring of rubber to sit around itmaybe?
Adrian may be right there - the only IVA compatible rings are the half-round profile. There are ways around it - (if you pardon the pun) - a layer
of lovely hardboard to prevent the sphere touching the rings or some sort of rubber trim. I'm another one who's also very impressed by the
modification speed you are working at!
Car looks great
for the clocks how about some hard dense foam stuck on with double sided tape, it's what i used, but that was for SVA
Description
Right, i've moved the clocks inward a bit to loose the edges... what do you think?
Wasn't there a problem a while ago with the steering wheel exemption zone? I though you had to have some kind of screen to mark the boundary between interior and exterior. Might be a problem, are you planning to put an aeroscreen on?

I know it's not in the manual but i'm sure someone had a problem recently with it. Probably just a tester being a bit of a jobsworth.
Finished everything on the car today. Got the tracking to do on Monday and it's all done.
Thanks to everyone that commented on this thread.
hope it all goes well tuesday. be good to see/hear how you get on as i'm not to far away from having an iva myself.
your car look's well

Cracking looking car
Good luck!!

You've mentioned having a warning light with the correct symbol on for the brake fluid and a plain red one for the handbrake and I think from the
pictures that your reservoir has a push to test button on top. Usually these days there is only the one light, so the handrake acts as a lamp test.
I'm sure there was some mention when IVA was coming in (but it might have been dropped) that the lamp should be able to be tested from the
driver's seat?
[Edited on 8/5/11 by SteveWalker]
Yep most people link it with the hand brake and pull that to test.
