Iva Build Quality And Finish .

[Guest julienb]

saw this on the bay 330823971181 .hope it doesnt belong to any 1 here ,but if that can pass an iva anythink can,i know its got the covers and trim ect in the right places but come on.....look at the battery cover and holder,coil ,horn locaton wiring ect

[Guest julienb]

that chassis number aint ever coming off!! lol

[Guest MarkB]

as long as the battery is secure, its a pass, coil and horn location are not part of the IVA, wiring looks neat enough.... im failing to see why you have joined RHOCaR and in your first two posts you have slagged off somebodies car that VOSA see fit to certify road worthy.

 

 

a simple hello would have been better

[Guest julienb]

hello ,are u saying u would be happy enough if u had build it..

[knights_templar]

the points julieb has mentioned may not be a reason to fail, although there are clearly points which would indicate it did not go through IVA in totally the pictured condition.

 

however , it appears to be on a Q plate, so isn't that age unknown and therefore not a new registration? MOT in a year?

[Guest julienb]

as to why i joined is none of ur buisness really,but as ur intrested i joined 2 years ago but just renewed as i lost my password..the iva states that wiring must not only be wrapped with tape but conduit also ,i cant see any ,or any marking off sae or iso on the fuel pipe ect

[Guest Kennedy48]

The engine bay is alot neater than mine. And mine past iva last year. All I had to do was add a couple of cable ties to hold together

[richyb66]

the iva states that wiring must not only be wrapped with tape but conduit also

 

Conduit is optional, not compulsory, I can only see one statement regarding wiring in the IVA manual and that's "all electrical cables/wires must be free from chaffing and secured at intervals of at least 300mm unless contained in a secure hollow component".

[Al Milton]

Agree with Richyb. My loom is part wrapped in conduit, but only primarily where there is a risk of chafing.

Conduit does help make the wiring appear neater though, but it's personal preference.

i dont see anything wrong with wiring or where the battery and coil are its why they are called kit cars because you build it how you want it nobody else thats what makes them induvidual.not two kit cars are the same

[speedtripledan]

slagging peoples cars off thats not going to do you any favours. is yours perfect ?

[Guest sadjagboy]

I think the owner should be congratulated on getting what is obviously an older kit through IVA.

 

There are obviously things that could be redone and improve the look of the car. But I'd suggest it has been built on a limited budget and IVA cost and registering a car, so insurance and tax too and you are looking at the best part of £1000, from experience.

 

Car seems reasonably priced for what it is, which is a road legal home built car...

..not at all ,but much much better than that,id be ashamed to put my name to that car,but many people say its ok ,all i can say if there must be some very pooor built cars out there
