Default Passed Emission test today.

At the moment, I'm over the moon. Passed the RTA Emission Test today with flying colours. That's ADR 37/01 out of the way. A few more to go. Hydrocarbons = 0.26, NOX = 0.63 and C.O. = 2.1. Next step Engineerring.

Here are some pics.

Congratulations Baz, that's a big hurdle out of the way.

Also, just looking at your pics.. How do you go with tyre clearance on your rear guards? It looks pretty close. I'd hate to see that nice paint get messed up.

Cheers

Thanks Mike,

That's another job we have to attend to. The rear drive shafts and lower arms on the Jag suspension have to be reduced 12mm in width so the back tyres fit totally inside the guards.

Regards

Baz

That's good!

When I first got mine running I had a problem with the tyres rubbing on the inside of the tub. It was a issue related to the bump steer in the back and I didn't find it till I was driving it on the track.

I went to great lengths to make sure nothing rubs anywhere with the new rear suspension setup.

Looks like you guys in NSW really have to jump through hoops on the emissions testing. In Vic they just did a tail pipe test at idle and checked the emissions label and took my word for it that the ECU was stock.

Cheers

Well done Baz, I was going to ask about the wheels but Mike beat me to it.
I am guessing this will be fixed before the engineering? as it looks like they poke outside the bodyline.

But in any case Baz, the car is looking great.
