IVA Pass

[Rotor1]

Great job Nick! Excellent, and a what a stunning colour too!

Hey Nick - excellent news that you passed the IVA test! (er, the car, I mean, not you personally...) I know you had a bit of a nail-biting time over the emissions, so congrats on getting over that hurdle too.

Must say the car is looking absolutely peachy... I know if mine ends up looking like that, I'll be amazed, cos it's supposed to be yellow

Nick, stunning car, well done. Look forward to seeing it in the flesh.

[Stratos Fear]

Looks really good - gives an idea of what mine will look like in same colour (but mine still a few months away) - and mine will be a square arch car. By the way what door mirrors did you use ? - they look pretty good (and are they electrically adjustable?)

Fantastic. Well done.
How did you do it with the front side repeaters.
When I did my IVA, the examiner stood at the rear corner and the front arch blocks the view of them so I got a fail.

I just looked at your 1st photo and that makes the point exactly?

This side repeater?


I agree with your examiner that the wheel arch obscures the side repeater in its standard position and it would therefore be a fail.

Thanks all.

The side indicator has a small spacer behind it so it can be seen from the rear, they don't look too bad and could be left in.

Sir
You have far better eyes than me.

Hi Peter
How is your build coming along?

The mirrors in the second 2 pictures are standard Vitaloni California, I had slightly modified version for IVA as you have to be able to see a mark on the floor a certain distance behind the car, with the California mirror you would struggle.

If you are looking for something electrically operated Mick fitted MX5 mirrors to his yellow car, OK for IVA and larger than the California's so give better rearward vision.

Ive actually installed wiring for a rear facing camera, haven't fitted it yet, it's one of the jobs I need to do.
