KugaWestie Posted August 8, 2012 Posted August 8, 2012 Hmm Dean - seems to be very regionalised than one, speaking from experience At least you have a rock solid coil pack now Dom - dont go leaving the ignition on for ages though without the engine running, it burns them out Quote
Dommo Posted August 8, 2012 Author Posted August 8, 2012 So long as I do it within 12 months that's fine, they're warranted! The certificate has the engine number checked box ticked so hopefully they'll accept it without a need for an inspection. Local offices are a law unto themselves though so I'm not getting any hopes up there. Hopefully it's not peak tax season so shouldn't be too busy. The certificate also has service mass as 710kg. It's not that fat!! Quote

M444TTB Posted August 8, 2012 Posted August 8, 2012 If that's the car in fully road trim with fuel and you then it's lighter than mine. Partly helped by you being a short A*** I'm sure Quote
the stoat Posted August 8, 2012 Posted August 8, 2012 If that's the car in fully road trim with fuel and you then it's lighter than mine. Partly helped by you being a short A*** I'm sure At least Dom and I fit in comfortably and do not bang our knees on steering wheel Quote
Dommo Posted August 8, 2012 Author Posted August 8, 2012 I wasn't in it when weighed so presumably an arbitary weight. Still seems heavy to me, but no 'science' behind that Quote
M444TTB Posted August 9, 2012 Posted August 9, 2012 Once it's road legal take it to the weighbridge at Thamesdown recycling. £5 for the weight Quote
Carpenter Chr7s Posted August 9, 2012 Posted August 9, 2012 Take some scrap metal and I'll be free!! Quote
Tom Frankland (T3OMF) Posted August 9, 2012 Posted August 9, 2012 Take some scrap metal and I'll be free!! You taking your car down there for scrap........ :laugh: :p Quote
Dommo Posted August 9, 2012 Author Posted August 9, 2012 Registration process kicked off. Got to get it inspected on Tuesday. It'd be nice if it were road legal by the Friday so I didn't have to trailer it to the Abingdon track day, I doubt if it will be though. Quote

Norman Verona Posted August 9, 2012 Posted August 9, 2012 I think the weight quoted is a classification not the actual weight. My V5c says 750 kg whereas it's never been as heavy as that. Quote
DerekJ Posted August 9, 2012 Posted August 9, 2012 Congrats Dommo. Loved following this thread, well done! Quote
Dommo Posted August 11, 2012 Author Posted August 11, 2012 Got my DVLA inspection appointment through. August 21st not August 14th as originally stated. That's frustrating... Quote
Dommo Posted August 21, 2012 Author Posted August 21, 2012 Had a trackday on Friday - car performed well. It seemed to mix it with the MX5s there well enough, despite my driving. That probably bodes well for when it's set up. But of course today is the day of the DVLA inspection, and I now have a registration number! Fortunately it was the same as the donor so I didn't have to go out and get new number plates made up. Just got in from a quick drive to pick my son up from holiday club. Good fun, shame about the torrential downpour when I hit traffic! Got absolutely drenched and I'm thinking of putting a fish in the bootbox. Ah well, all good fun Bring on some drier days... Quote
