Well, that's the car off to Tornado for its IVA. Andy has submitted the paperwork. We'll have to wait 4 weeks for the date and this could be another 4-6 weeks till we get the IVA test day. Meantime Andy is supplying and fitting the exhaust and drive shafts, then running the car for the first time.

 

[TrevS]

Nice one Ian, good luck with the IVA. Sure Andy will get it through without too many issues.

Ian's car arriving back at Tornado for some jobs to be completed and the IVA.

 

[Keith Stafford]

Andy, what sort of things do you anticipate having to do to get her through? K

 

[Andy Sheldon]

Ian has asked us to fit an exhaust system, driveshafts and a pair of our Gurney Eagle valve covers.

As far as the IVA goes it will just be the usual. There are always several items the builder has over looked.

Thanks

Andy

 

[Scott Calabro]

Your Raptor looks bad-ass Andy!

 

[Andy Sheldon]

My fun car for the hot summer days.

 

[Bill T]

I've just read through this build, you have done a really great job Ian.
Good luck with the SVA and look forward to seeing the finished item.

 

[Ian Bissett]

We now have an IVA test date……25th September. There was a slight delay in getting the date from the test centre due to a small administrative error their part, but now all sorted.

Meantime, a photo of the exhaust that Andy has supplied and is fitting for me…….

Ian,
Hope he is supplying the heat shield for the rear fuel line.

[Ian Bissett]

Andy has been beavering away fitting the exhaust, the heat shield, and the drive shafts for me, as well as a number of other odd jobs to prepare the car for the IVA in two weeks’ time. He has also made the final fit of the Gurney valve covers plus he is making up and fitting an oil catch tank to the covers. Tomorrow the car will be started.

Looks Superb Ian, great job!

Well, the car went for its IVA today, some photos attached. It failed, but only on a few things most of which have already been sorted by Andy. The vacuum produced by the Weber IDA’s is making the accelerator pedal a little stiff and this was the main failure item. Andy is trying to sort this so that it can be offered for a quick retest on Friday. All things being well and good, hopefully by Friday we have a car that has passed its IVA…….

 

[Keith Stafford]

Ian, I'm jealous,.... well now you have a very short list of things to do. What are the mirrors fitted, they look like extended (raised) crossfire ones, is this what Andy uses to pass the rear view requirements?

I also notice you have 'polycarbonate' covers on the headlight apertures, are these E marked, if so, where did you get the polycarbonate?

Major milestone.......the car passed its IVA yesterdayepper:

The car is being picked up for delivery back to me next week, then I can get the paperwork together and get the car registered. There is a list of jobs I need to work through, but now I can relax and get these done at my leisure.

Yee ha.........

 

[James Harvey]

Fantastic news - congratulations!

Congratulations but you have the wrong idea
Get it licenced with Andy and drive it "home"
Much more fun
