Once again i turn to you chaps for a little help about the old SVA test.

I have a heavly Moddied scooby on its way and i have been told the SVA boyz are going to rip it apart(wanting to turn it all standard again)!!

Is this the case? is there a way of avoiding this?...when i mean heavy i mean 500bhp...ex drag racer.

Anyhelp or information will be GREAT Thanks ;-)

 

Are you importing it personally or through an agent?
Speak to the agent or contact Mark at Import Car Parts, West Auckland, Co. Durham. If you have problems finding his address P.M. me.
What gearbox does it have???

 

mate it will need to be stripped down to make it pass the safety and emmisions test of the SVA. Mine had full bolt in roll cage - all had to come out so did all the additional boost guages.
Are you doing the prep work for the SVA?

 

Thank you chaps, yes the car has roll cage, more clocks than a plane and everything in the car has been modified!!!

the box is a trip tronic box made for the Scooby. I can not strip this car to standard as it will kill it and i would rather leave it as a track car!!

Any ideas??????????????????????????


..and yes it s a personal import by myself!

 

hi mate what year is it if its after 97 youll need to get a model report and the car will have to conform to that mate and it'll have to bog standard and youll have to pay around 300 pounds for it aswell. also what model is it do you know if there is a model report available for this model check on www.modelreports.com mate

 

Hello, its a 1998 sti type r, 2 door. Im just so gutted as its been built to purfection and stripping it would meen cutting its ba**s off!!!

Any ideas people??? Dont mind paying extra but WILL not strip it !! thanks ;-(

 

no other way then mate if its a 98 youll have to get a model report and strip it you may get away with the gearbox but everything else youll have to put back to standard you got any pics mate

 

Well it looks like i will have a speedy track car but thats it....shame would have been nice to ave a little fun on the roads!!!


Trust this government to spoil the fun!!!! Wan*ers!

 

Might be able to help you out mate send me pm if interested

 

You do realise that everything that comes out in order to pass SVA - can go back in after you have the SVA?

 

I am aware of this but the car being set up by a professional mechanic who drag races cars on the streets of Japan....i do not want to take it apart!!

I am waiting on my pictures to come through and at this point u will see what i mean!!........still any help or advise will be much appreciated thanks

 

You have a pm message mate.

 

have a query which may help you does anyone one know what is the process of getting a jap import registered in to ireland do you have to have an sva test done. could you get a car registered there and bring it over on the irish plates, then get it here or do you still need to have an sva test done, could be an avenue to explore does anyone know the procedure for ireland may be we could do something

 

This may be something we can look in to , i would have thought cars in Ireland would need SVA too but not 100% sure..........any ideas people??

 

I live in belfast mate.But we have to take are cars to get tested in dublin.It costs 500 pound for a test here but that includes them doing all the conversion work.I am not totally positive but i dont think that southern cars need an sva however when you take the car to england i think that you have to re register it and produce all sva,vat forms etc,Believe me once i find a loop hole everyone on here will know about it

 

Alright mate was able to track down what you were looking for your car.Send me pm and i will give youi my telephone number mate.

 

hi mate have you found a way around this loophole then. because sorry to say vavavoom you haven't got a chance of getting a modded monster through the sva because i went this monday for a sva test and put all the car the standard change all the exhausts back to standard all the guages came off and took off the induction kit, thought it would pass but guess what he failed it on the b@stard....... the bloody steering wheel wasn't standard. heres a pic mate
