Rex friendly MOT near cheltenam and gloucester area

[FD3S Efini]

As above im after an MOT centre in that area that will be kind to my RX7, the thing im worried about is the emissions because its decatted, also the airpump has been disconected but is still in the engine bay if i plug it in will that lower my emissions?
 
this is my 2nd MOT and the first time there wasnt any problems because it was almost stock.
 
Cheers in advance,
 
Kris

 This might help if you got a apexi.
 
 If not i have about £10 of fuel in the tank and stick a bottle of cata clean in. Availible from mazda rotary parts.
 
Its allways good if the machine reads the emissions before the start of the test.
 
That way you know when to start the test.

cheers mate, i read that thread but im not to keen with messing with the PFC myself  but is it easy to do? what menu is it under and im guessing you need to return it back to normal once mot is done?

Its under settings, Pim volts,  I will try and do a video of it. And yes put it straight back after test.
 
Or go the cataclean route.

Hope it helps, Crappy phone video.
 

 
Basically go to settings, Pim volt, 1000rpm scroll down the % to around 66%, pass test and scroll back to 100%. Then press previous till you get to monitor select that then next, back to the display.

Yes, just cuts the amount of fuel.

If you do need some help you could try Brian at Mech Repairs in Cheltenham (01242 243385). He doesn\'t do the MOT but has a couple of MOT test stations that they use. If you need some setting up before hand they have a lot of experience with various programmable ECUs. He can test your emmisions before hand so it won\'t fail at the MOT station.
 
They aren\'t rotary specialists and my car was there for a couple of months while we stuck a V8 in it but an experienced garage all the same.

didnt realise there was another rx7 round here lol? i know of a good mot place but its in melksham near swindon....

[turbotoaster]

yep, exactly what i did on my last MOT, 66% was the charm.

If you change to 850cc primarys though its not gonna be possible, on my next mot i might stick the cat back on for the day and see if it will pass

what year is your car? Pre 95 imports didnt need a cat i think, and i believe there is some different emissions test you can do.

im not sure on any of this though. Never had a problem with the fc though
