Reply With Quotemy car was engineered. it doesnt matter if it is engineered.
they are checking for emmissions. they dont give a toss what engine is in there. just as long as it is standard.
its a 30min inspection. so they go over everything.
i diddnt have a standard cat. i got a ae82 cat from the wreckers. somehow the guy doing the inspection new what the cat was off.
does however suck.

apparently the DECC don't care one bit about engineers certificate all they are worried about is emissions
They won't worry about your un engineered cage or any of that it's the motor they look at
intake mods and exhaust mods and the emissions that you are creating
they are the Dept of Environment and Climate Change after all
exhaust is easy fix, go to your exhaust shop, get the cheapest rear muffler, get them to weld up a flange plate so you can drop off the rear of the "good" system and fit the stock muffler, it will shut it right up, then once u pass take it off - bolt the old rear section back up and done!
Yea that's what I am getting done today supposedly. I shouldn't even have to pay for the next test once I fit the pea shooter on.
hold on it costs money to get fucked in the ass?
the dyno pull to 300rwkw
BT20v is making 300rwkw like i said i would without nitrous so now its time for some spray and see if she will run a 10s or less
only prob is
I've heard they take photos of your engine bay and exhaust and if you get pulled over and looked over again then you will cop a fine and loss of points plus a defect if it's not the same as the photo...don't know if thats the whole truth and nothing but the truth but........
Back from the dead... I have a couple of questions:
- A mate had a legit blue slip passed on an ADM Sprinter with a 16V without a cat. The workshop told him as its a 1983 car it didn't need a cat. Seeing as cats are only compulsory on post 1986 cars - is a cat requirement based on the engine or year of car?
- My current setup is a 16V coverted to Weber carbies. Rego has the new engine no. on it. Do you think I could get away saying it's the original 4AC with upgraded carbs? Or am I pretty much done for if I get pulled over?
i would say you are going to get screwed this is the reason im going for a really quiet note i don't wanna attract attention for the popo any more and im sick of headaches from loud exhausts

Box up your webers, less noise equals less attention. And in the case you do get pulled over, you'd have a better chance of getting away with it. Speaking of which I should be getting my quads boxed too, don't ever want to go through the DECC/EPA again.
Example.
