    Yeah, thought it unlikely. It's not that it's rowdy just it has a hideous drone to it and 'cause it's quite short there's not a lot of room for another muffler.

    Hasn't as far as I know, only emissions tested.

    Update to this. D.A. arrived in post last weekend (a week ago), I managed to badger Justin at LVVTA into calling me the week before and he called Lance to tell him to continue the process that evening. yay. Cert plate has been ordered, final inspection when it arrives presumably. Then legal beagle. Clint, will the side exhaust be listed on the cert? Was a less than ideal move and would quite like to change it back to a rear exit.

    Yeah, that's the one. Thing is, it is OE front end geometry from the e46, the two cars share a surprisingly similar setout. No custom or one-off parts. I'd have thought the rear would have been more of a concern, but anyway. Maybe i didn't quite explain things well enough? As I understand it, Lance either contacted them about it or preempted the Design Approval. He also suggested the Car-o-liner report and has completed the paperwork on my behalf. Spoke to him yesterday and found out that the confirmation will be sent to me, not him, hence the question of time. By all accounts there's no problem with it, save a couple of minor notes on the rectification form. Just have wait. One thing I'm not much good at.

    How does the brace sit with those funny bumps on the strut tops? Just crank it down? PS nice bits!
  7. westy
    Still sorta early days. I am an impatient bugger. Worse case, I guess I just present it for rectification a day before time runs out which buys me another two months (?).

    This is me ha Project start Fab ect Project complete Apply for cert Spring a design approval on me (everything I've read suggests this is voluntary) Wait...
  9. westy
    Yeah, so normally you apply for Design Approval at the start of a project as a separate thing from the final cert process. (The two months starts from the start of the final cert process?) They've had me do an approval after I have applied for the cert, during the two month period. Make any sense?

    Was supposedly accepted last meeting (Tuesday last week?) just waiting on confirmation so I can continue with the process. Apparently I only have 2 months before I have to pay for another process and this is eating into that time somewhat.
  11. westy
    Does anyone know how long the TAC usually takes to get back to ya re Design Approval?

    Also, thinking about sticking a low blow turbo on it. Something to make around 350 fly-horses. Anyone with any great ideas re std equipment turbos that might fit the bill? Evo or similar? Cause cheep-cheep.

    So, boredom setting in waiting for the slow wheels of bureaucracy to move led me to construct this fake splitter from a piece of ply and a strip of stainless I had lying around ha. All ready for quick self removal at the first glance of a curb...
  14. westy
    Nah mod cert. Lance is gonna try and find out. Tis a pain in the arse tbh.
  15. westy
    Whats the story with Car-o-liner reports? Have to be computerisededed?
  16. westy
    Ta. Was probably hanging about the GTO, reliving my youth.
  17. westy
    Indeed they do. Have made arrangements, will attend.
  18. westy
    Good work, keep going.

    Meh, turns out it's a wedding anniversary Sunday. That's me out.
  20. westy
    Righto, will attempt to make this in E30. Much police attention involved?
  21. westy
    Damn. Mighty pissed off with self. Thanks.

    So, I just fitted some driveshaft loops, and I think I cocked it up royally. It's a two piece shaft and I've used 32x6 instead of 50x5 (don't ask why I had those numbers in my head, I've no idea). Is there any lee-way in this at all, considering they are only little short shafts? Please say yes.
  23. westy
    You are, of course, all completely wrong. Carry on.
  24. westy
    Droptanks rule.

    There're plenty of guys in the BMW race series running the rear coilover like that, no problems heard of. The same basic shock mount on E30/36/46 etc.
