took my b.e.c avon (ZX9r) on a rainy tuesday morning (typical, probably the only day of rain well have) got there for 8am left at 12.15 talk about nerve racking he asked me to put it on the ramp, my legs were shaking that much i stalled it about 3 times, doh! still i am quite pleased with my self my first build it failed on;steering not self centering;fuel pipe from pump to main fuel line no markings(it was of the bike);no proof of max design speed of speedo (push bike speedo forgot to take leaflet which shows 99.9 max mph);and fast idle c.o. incorrect ,so not bad at all really, engine has developed a slight mis-fire so need to fix that before doing emissions, should be back in on saturday.

Thats not bad is it? Well done.
Was it Garrets Green you went to, that is where I will be going,
Would you say they were a fair bunch?
Steve.

there are two testers at garretts green ,my bro-in-law took his car there last year and had paul he was more leniant but a bit moody, i had andy he was very chatty but very very thorough,but at least i have a list to tick off and he said to just ring up should get in same day take about 30 mins to 1 hour to recheck.lovely looking car mate.

Cheers Kieth, Had a look at your pics, very nice too.
Good luck with retest.
Steve.

cheers steve,from the mouth of the tester (andy)he said hes been there 4 years and only one car has passed first time,a replica that cost the owner £27,000 to build,you could be the second,but just expect to fail and either way you wont be disappointed.

I am expecting to have to make two visits, its just part of the game I suppose.

If your bike speedo only reads to 99.9mph this will be insufficient as your car will be capable of greater than this speed.

I think your speedo only HAS to read up to 70mph, after that, you're illegal anyway.

keith i just checked out your photo archive(great car and i love the colour), are those fake disks you got on the back? sorry if im mistaken but the look too clean, and too close to the wheel. reminded me of the replica ferraris who need to extend their wheels massively to get to the body.

yes they are fake but i thought they looked better than the drums i sprayed them gold ,even the tester liked them!
