so its his red single fd thats sitting by the reception desk? awesome
yep "sicknote" on mrc as well. His name is Dave and he is "sympathetic" to the issues around the rotary and emissions.
If your car is safe, not rusty in the wrong places and is road worthy you should have no worries there.
I think my cars safe just doesnt have a cat :Hammer
Allthough my brake discs are a bit on the **** side

There is always the question of "should it have a CAT" and hence pass the relevant emissions test to consider?
If it\'s post whatever date it is (differs dependant on all sorts) then not having a CAT could be a problem...
:yesIts a 1993 car if that helps
imports made after 95 need cats
cars made in the uk after 92 need cats.
i guess yours is an import?
Pinched from another forum (although I\'m not an MOT tester so don\'t know 100% if this is the truth):
Rules are simple;
Pre august 1992, no cat required, provision in mot for testing cars registered Aug 1992 to Dec 1992 to be tested as non cat cars late registered...
Jan 1993 to Aug 1995 all cars tested must have an exact match to make model etc in either the exhaust emissions catalogue or in the test stations gas analyser (hence imports can generally not be CAT\'ed)
After Aug 1995 no exact match required but has to meet basic cat requirents though...

Yes mine is a import so does this mean i dont need a cat
no you dont need a cat :D
Thanks thats great news :mmmm:Giggle:Talking1
No, the great news is that Dave will look after you being a rex owner himself. He\'s even helped me put a new exhaust on.
I drive from Milton Keynes every year to get mine MOT\'d by TVM, and so does my brother, no one else will do. :)
off topic but if hes lookin at this, is this the red FD i saw this morning 730am by wokingham station reg plate **** GAL. Ben if this doesnt work out i know somewhere you can go
Quote from: rx7ben;542759Yes mine is a import so does this mean i dont need a cat
You don\'t need a cat, but
do still have to pass an emissions test of CO gas at 3.5% volume and hydrocarbons at 1200 ppm volume

If u mean Dave from TVMOT, no it isnt.

We\'re both called Dave, both drive bare arsed red single turbo FD\'s and both handsome, intelligent, likable fellows so I can see how you got us confused :rollin
:2eek
Biggest difference is I can drive mine round a track without spinning and my car hasn\'t been under the sea as yet :D

Nice one mate i no rich he has done mine and my brothers for a couple of years. Just thought with the rex i shoukd take it to someone who no"s alot about them. Thats why i was thinking about taking it to dave at T.V M.O.T

Delusional too.........:2Confused
Went Friday and was quite happy with the service as I passed the MOT without any problems after failing a week ago in other place near home.
Would take my car there next year as well even though I live in Brighton.
It was quite an adventure as my laptop, (that I was using as a sat-nav) run out of battery and got lost in Reading and then in my way back to Brighton as well.
