Glanza_cl Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 yup just have to find/bribe a 'nice' mot tester... alot will just say wtf this is silly loud and fail on noise levels, not to mention emissions.some dont have an issue with the noise level so much so a little word there way saying that emissions might be high... could we use that golf over in the corner Quote Link to post Share on other sites

However if your idle is mapped richer than it should be then there can be issues.Stick a bung in the exhaust to quiet it down. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 Shouldnt have much of an issue apart from funny looks as I bet most MOT tester's have never seen one before And they generally arent too noisy so shouldnt have much issue, mine will be running front exit for the MOT too Quote Link to post Share on other sites

_shaun_ Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 31 july 95 is the cut off for non cat idle test according to the vosa book Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shorty Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 and idle test only on jdm cars year is regurdless so long as there is no uk production spec equivalent i.e 1.3turbo uk ep91 wich as we all know there never was. can read it all on line, is dull but good to arm yourself icase tester is a twat, another one for you is you dont need the wing mount indicators so long as its using glanza front indicators due to the bulge in the lense making it visable from 1.5m of the line of the rear bumper but again only on jdm Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lukerobz Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 thanks for that buddy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
