Default SVA Test Advice.

Just brought in an STi version 7, Sept 2000. I'm up to speed on the MPH conversion plus fog light, tyre load rate, fuel neck restricter etc but i just need to know.......A/ Will a standard Jap exhaust cat be ok as i've been told it's too small?? B/ Will standard UK WRX headlights be ok as i've ben told the Hids will not pass. Any constructive help will be much appreciated!!
Dave.

you will need a model report and the car will have to be bog standard !! to pass the esva if you have a different exhaust to when it came from the factory it will fail !!

When you hire the Model Report the owner has to tell you if any non-standard or different OEM parts will be required in order to pass (ECU or catalytic converter, etc.). HIDs will pass so long as they are self-levelling, otherwise conventional UK headlamps will be fine.

Cheers for all the replies, does anyone have the cat dimensions on a model report. I'll probably go for the Model Reports .com homepage version if anyone can shed some light on the exact size.
