MK GT1 SVA results
Well sorry for posting the results late had computor troubles,As expected it failed !
Now thats a suprise has anybody passed SVA 1st time ?
Im not to dissapointed as it has only failed on a few things, so really the SVA was a damage limitation exercise,and now i have a list to work to so
there is light at the end of the tunnel, and it will pass.The fail list is as follows,emissions not to happy about that one as it passed them at the
mot test i had done prior to sva.So i dont now why the emmissions have changed,a few nuts and bolts not enough thread showing,dashboard lower
edge,needs edging strip,fuel gauge radius on bezel not met,i am going to mount it behind the dash,as it is surface mounted at the moment,fog light not
square to the rear,bend bracket,mirrors unable to obtain full veiw,balance bar needs setting up as pinned it wrong went to sva with no rear braking
whoops.
Well thats about it,so personally i think thats not bad,as i was a bit rushed to meet the SVA date,so probably could have avoided some of the minor
fails,as lighting,bodywork seats etc all passed no problems,I did well as the bloke next to me who was having his car tested i think it was an early
marlin,he had 5 pages of items to put right as it was a 1988 kit !
That must be demoralizing.Anyway my retest is booked for Tuesday 7th june,if all goes well going to le mans in it on the Sunday !
Just one more thing anybody got any ideas on the emissions please take a look at my thread on BEC and give me some ideas.
Thanks to all who have helped keep you posted.
Regards Simon.

best bet for the emissions is to get some heat rap to place round the cat this will help keep the heat in the catalyst
best bet just before emissions test is to rev the car hard five or six times to get the cat really working, we have passed three cars like this
1 x fireblade
2 x r1
both on carbs, and incidently without using air bleeds and a like just using the mixture screws
hope this helps
good luck with the retest
best regards
marc

Hello Marc can you confirm if you left the mixture alone or did you lean it off.
Thanks Simon.
