Oh well i'm running out of time so will have to bite the bullet!

[car.crash]

it will need the door bars welding on aswell if its new.

[REBEL GT TURBO]

There bolt on door bars! i'm having all the feet box section welded in so i'm not to fussed about the welding anyway!

[car.crash]

mine are bolt on to, but i think the brackets the bars bolt to need welding on with new cages. i know they do on other brands.

[REBEL GT TURBO]

Sounds like it went better than mine down at Motest in reading.
I took it in just before xmas and it failed on 3 things and 5 advisories,so over the xmas period I got some work done on the engine bay and I fix the 3 fails.
So the new year came and I booked it back in last week(without the fail sheet due to it had expired,but it was free seems it failed)
Anyway I get a phone call saying it had failed on 3 things,:eek: so i went down to ask what on,and it turned out to be 3 of the prior advisories,how the hell does that work?
Best bit is, I had to get it MOTed that weekend,so I just thought I will get the jobs done and bring it back to motest,as they were only little jobs and I did not want to chance taking it somewhere else and them finding more jobs!
took it back again and it PASSED:wasntme: good news hay.... NO :eek: the feckers has messed about with the fuelling to get the emissions down and did not set it back so now it runs like a bag of spanners,and they hit the intercooler and caused a massive leak, so i have no boost now.now thats a bad MOT.

[REBEL GT TURBO]

yeah thanks royz! i'm just glad the horn i fitted works! Makes me laugh that a little french car has such a beast of a horn compared to other cars! Awesome...

Just fitted Daz gold front coilovers! Holy **** how hard are they! Its like ive got a solid pole where the suspension once was! Should be the **** tho on track, next up is a pair of remote resivours! Thinking of a future mod having the toision bar system removed and turreting the rear so i can fit coilovers at the back aswel! Anyone know if this is a positive thing to have done? It should give better handling as i could fit adjustable top mounts from and rear so to adjust the offset! Maybe next year when i'm running efi and a stright cut gearbox! :)

why would they of messed around with the fueling for :confused:if it reads on idel at like i dunno say 700/800 rmp then thats fine isnt it?and your emissions would be fine i wudda guessed.even then its got no catylatist converter so it wouldnt fall under a emissions test would it:confused:or am i wrong??
as for them messing around with ur car mate i wouldnt of been happy a rough running 5 is the last thing you want:sad2::mad:
also how did they manage to hit the intercooler,sure they dont need to be messing with that?:scratch:

[Tony Walker]

the limit is massively high on the emissions test but its very easy for a 5 to hugely overfuel with a slight adjustment on the carb. They did it to help you out. it would of failed otherwise.

[Tony Walker]

but the damage is not good u should let them know.
