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!!

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.
