Probably the best MOT garage in the uk

Took my soop to a local garage for the MOT today. She has both cats removed, so I took one of the cats for them to fit before doing the emmisions test.

 

The guy actually doing the test didnt fit the cat, and run the basic test ( non cat test,) and got a reading of 0.4% for the CO level and 125ppm for the hydrocarbons. limits were 3.5% and 1200ppm.

 

He looked in the book which gives him the limits for all cars post 1993, and for the supra, they are 0.3% and 200ppm to pass the cat tests.

 

Suffice to say, he was supprised that it would have readings that low with no cats in, but he said that it was so close to passing with no cats in that he passed it anyway.

 

:respekt:

Nice :thumbs:

 

My local MOT place swear by the fact that if you enter the vin number into the computer it doesn't return a recommended value as it's an import so there's no need to worry :innocent:

not true im afraid, i just had mine in and the engine number is in the book and the computer. i think its only when the car was never sold here that this works

Nah it was Paul newbury garage just round the corner from my house.

 

Now all I have to do is get the IK24's fitted and she will be sweet for the summer( no misfire at 1.2 bar! ) :woot:

 

Ian,

 

I still have your standard 16" wheels at my house. Do you want them back? I sent you a text a while ago, but you didnt reply. Let me know and I will drop them off.

 

The Brock wheels are STILL at wheelright ! 2 months now !

I have your wolfrace on, and they still passed, even with the bulge in that rear tyre that another garage said would fail for sure.

Hi mate,

 

Didn't get ur text my phone has a habit of failing to recieve them time for a new phone I think.

 

I'm in no rush for 16's back as i've got U.K's on the front now so won't fit anyway. Whenever your passing just shove em in the front garden as I said no rush though mate.

 

Will have to meet up when we get the chance.

 

Are you going to japfest mate ?
