SVA- Anything ive missed??
My sva is friday 17th april and ive got a few jobs to do like bleed brakes, bleed clutch etc etc which is all easy but ive got a few questions on some
more tech bits and pieces which im not sure about?
MIRRORS.....
I need to fit my Mirrors now ive got a dipping center mirror(dash mounted) and some bike side mirrors- what should i use to know exactly where to put
them?? what should i be able to see behind me?
SUSPENSION...
What height should my car sit, how much toe in toe out and camber etc (my cars a RT Plus inboard)
Any other SVA issues that i might have overlooked?
cheers kris

have you got the manual?
rears heoght is slightly higher than the front.
front should show the lower wishbones as parallel to the ground when on the deck with tyres.
rear is about 25mm higher up
best to get it cornerweighted to be more accurate as this is only a guide.
they might not let you put mirrors on at test - so do some dont
toe out might be required for self centering 1.5mm all 4
tyre pressure about 36 to get you through
However, marc n has suggested setup wise 1 - 1.25 deg negative camber
and 1mm toe in each corner is a good safe setting,
tyres 16 psi front 18 rear
then corner weight it with you in it and fueled up as you would have it
hope this is a guide for you

Hi Kris, locked off my bias bar at the weekend put a pic in my blog below. Locked the left clevis with a roll pin as its easy to drill then locked the
right by fitting washer then a nyloc with a predrilled hole then drilled through the bar and tapped another pin in. Regarding self centreing etc i did
the same as the manual and coozer slight toe out and 40psi forgot to even check in pre sva road tests but worked fine on the test.
All the best for the test

your handbrake on the trailer doesnt work!! every time i drive it up i bust open the door on the garage when the trailer skips towards it.
My Bias bar has got my head done in, i need some pics of a locked on and how to adjust it, because i just aint sure.
