Daryl Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Well after failing the first attempt, car passed its MOT yesterday. Emissions were the main issue first time round, but the operator was confident if the cats ( Invidia HFC's) were super hot it would pass. Managed to get them properly hot and rolled the car straight in and the machine said it was fine. Handbrake had a proper attempt to adjust, and was fine, and id stupidly missed a side light bulb on my pre flight checks before its first attempt.

Daryl Posted April 2, 2014 Author Share Posted April 2, 2014 Had the spacers fitted to the HFC's just before the first MOT, which probably wasnt the best idea. But 2nd time round it was fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
choptop Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Mine passed last Friday. Always a good feeling when it gets through without having to spend loads of money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samsniss350z Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Got mine due on 18th and I agree with Choptop, there is no better feeling in the world than it going straight through. Props dude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daryl Posted April 2, 2014 Author Share Posted April 2, 2014 Just get the MOT station to do the emissions straight away if you have HFC's fitted, as they need to be super hot to get through. Ran mine for nearly 40 minutes just to make sure everything was as it should be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nowhereboy Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Mine was in for the MOT today. Failed for corroded brake lines but otherwise fine, not even any advisories. Quite happy with that result to be honest, it's the first MOT I've put her through I wasn't sure what to expect. It's getting new spark plugs, oil change and service while it's in too. Pick it up tommorow, can't wait, I miss it already! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad you kept it then I guess. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely mate, it's took a while to grow on me but I have really started to enjoy it recently. Thats not to say I haven't started a savings account for FI in the near future but thats for another thread sometime Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
