Passed emissions
 
Did the emissions test at Penriff today and got through OK. Stage one complete I guess - hard stuff to come. :o

Cheers

Well done Andrew.

Now you need to do the rest of it so you can refit the side pipes before Nationals.

After all you need to be there to defend your title.

Tenrocca 06-28-2010 12:38 AM

David,

Not sure if Ill get it all done before then the way things are ging, but you never know. Either way I will be there, probably on a permit only. I will fit the track pipes at Wakefield - I prefer the undercar exhaust on the road, and I want to do the right thing - not sure about defending any title though.

Cheers :)

Well done Tenrocco, what sort of front end are you running in your cobra?

Tenrocca 06-28-2010 02:55 AM

Thanks sjelby, its a previous generation classic revival with Jag front end and vl commodore power rack.

Cheers

Well done mate. Best of luck with the remaining hurdles.

Did you do much to the stock tune in order to pass? What about cats and other devices? Feel free to PM me. Oh and is that the IM240 that we now have to do in Vic?

Tenrocca 06-28-2010 04:30 AM

Sambo - no special tricks at all. Everything pretty stock standard. Yes it is the IM240, and in NSW (currently) we need to meet 37/01 standards.

Cheers.

boss290cobra 06-28-2010 09:01 PM

well done andrew how much did it cost ya

boss290cobra 06-28-2010 09:03 PM

just kidding who is doing your brake test where and when

Mando 06-28-2010 11:45 PM

Congratulations!! Do you have to pay for the IM240 test?

Regards.

boss290cobra 06-29-2010 12:01 AM

no its free but if you want to pass first time you have to.................not

Tenrocca 06-29-2010 07:36 PM

Hey Mando - yes the test is free for Chevs at least. If you have a smokey modern ford engine though they make you come back at least 6 times :).

Daz, Still havent figured out engineer yet. Will start making few phone calls during the school hols.

Cheers

boss290cobra 07-01-2010 12:26 AM

only smoke from the ford is produced from the treads not in the case of the chev 's fanbelt slipping

looks like i can get eastern creek for free to do brake test in about 3 weeks if your interested and get an engineer maybe use the track also

they make you come back at least 6 times .
and on the seventh day GOD created FORD
but mine passed EURO4 not ADR37/01

Mando 07-01-2010 01:11 AM

I booked my car in for the dreaded IM240 test on the 25th of July, fingers crossed! They charge $570 for the test and if you fail you have to pay again for another test. No wonder the engine tuner asked me to take the car back to him for a quick check before the test. I think he knew something I didn't.
Hi boxhead, thanks for the message. I've put 99% of everything back on the car and got the seats back from the upholsterer last night. I'll try and install the drivers seat this weekend. The carpet is the only thing not done which can happen after Rego so they don't get destroyed. I'll try and post some pictures over the weekend.

Regards.

strida 07-01-2010 01:37 AM

Thats great news Andrew.
It's nice to hear someone has had some luck with the RTA as I've been following (lurking) Baz's rego post with interest for the last couple of weeks and wondering why I ever got into this project, or will ever get it on the road.

Dennis
