    Fresh MOT

    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.
  2. I have Invidia HFC's and a Scorpion exhaust, and love the noise. Had my MOT yesterday, which it passed with the HFC's fitted. Though you need to run the car 'properly' before the emissions are done, as at the first attempt it didnt pass. Though also had the EML light on despite just having o2 spacers fitted which probably didnt help. They need to be properly hot to be MOT passable.

    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

    Fresh MOT

    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.
  5. Where abouts are you based?
  6. Are these brand new?
  7. Nice mod, and something different
  8. Had a new screen fitted by Autoglass a couple of years back, and they said to me that they dont replace the top bit, and its my job... I maybe contacting them to see where I stand
  9. Blimey, im impressed the bumper is ABS, thought it would be fibreglass. That must have cost a pretty penny! Fair play to you, looks like you are going to be one very happy person once it is all finished
  10. I think i took 5mm off that corner just to make sure. I think i also added some rubber/plastic trim just on that edge as an extra safety precaution too. Id had the kit fitted for 6 months prior to the failure, just decided to break through the cable at the worst time
  11. Looks pretty sweet, especially like that rear bumper. Wish you would stop selling stuff that i want to buy! I need a credit card or bank balance like Octet i think. Best colour too.....
  12. Sorry, wasnt picking holes was just curious, as the V3 is probably fibreglass, so colour matching that is going to be a pain.
  13. Bottom wheels for me, make the car look even more race car like
  14. I also have a K+N Typhoon system on mine. Just as I was about to board a train to Leman a few years back, the base corner of the metal box decided at that precise moment to break through the cable and short out my entire dash, inc aircon, speedo cruise control and fuel gauge. Could never work out what was causing it until a week after i got back. I ended up gribbling the corner away a little more just to makesure it was clear in the future. Just be warned, its a tight fit in that corner with the harness coming up
  15. Looks amazing, looking forward to seeing it all finished, bet you cant wait! Is the bonnet a slightly different shade, or it just the light?
  16. That would look sweet with a TS style rear diffuser!
  17. You could argue that you buy a Vtec for the top end scream, not the lack of torque, so a supercharger changes the driveability characteristics of the engine, where as a turbo is more in keeping. Never driven a Vtec, but cant see the appeal. I actually showed this ad to a mte of mine who ran a straipped out S2000, and he was very tempted to buy it. However, he is currently installing a turbo in his mk1 Mx5, so cant justify it
  18. That is one sexy ass! Tinted front lights match your rear indicator lenses too
  19. Guy in the BMW has the biggest gayest wing possible! lol Love the wheels Chris
  20. Only live 15minutes from you,must resist.........
  21. I thinks thats pretty cool to be honest..... Il get my coat
  22. Dont think it would look bad with black spats and with your current exhaust.
  23. I dont think the side steps or the diffuser go well on a car that is that low. If you go for rear spats, and want to keep the side steps, then the spats need to be black.
  24. The girl or the car? Iv seen worse of both
  25. Should be good for a laugh! Atleast it wont be cold
