STARTED AT THE FIRST TURN OF THE KEY. No powersteering or air con due to no ps oil pump pully

the idel is a bit rough because we aint put any watter in yer yet because  the catch tank broke (huzza for aroldite :P) Also my accelerator pedal seems to be a bit funny i dont know if ive jsut put the cabel back on wrong or what but it jsut dosent seem right. Still no seats  :S

the old engin has no compresion what so ever in the rear rotor so there is a bit of learning for me over the winter


as for getign the car on the road what do i need??? pops thinks we just need an mot and then take it to get registered wherever u do that



feed back plz

Hello mate...

If your car is unregistered and it is more than 10 years old, all you need is an MOT, de registration documents from japan and the forms saying you have paid the tax when it arrived in this country.  Take em down you local DVLA office and within 3-4 days you\'ll get a tax disc and reg number.....sorted.  

If it\'s younger than 10 years then instead of an MOT you\'ll need to do a SVA test :(

Hope this helps

The car itself has to be insured mate... not the driver.  I may be wrong....just you need the car insured to tax it.....and you have to tax it when you register it.  So the insurance certificate has to have the chassis number on it.

A maybe wrong, but this is what i was told by my local DVLA

Cheers

Adam

did i get this right,  the idle is a little rough cos you have no water in it?   if that the case the engine wont last more than a few minutes with out water!!!   With no water in it your temp gauge wont work and you will warp the engine plates quicker than you can turn it off!
