Changes Done For IVA

I should have written this post earlier as now my memory became a bit fuzzy. But as a bullet list, here is what I can recall was done on the car to ensure it would pass IVA.

My mistakes:

• Tighten correctly the front hub bolts: the lower ones were not fully tight. Seems I may have been luck on the track;
• Fix a bad electrical connection that could explain why my battery was not charging properly;
• Fix the issue with the Digidash being unable to properly state the gear the engine was in: it was a bad earth;
• Tighten and tidy wiring inside the engine bay and on the rear;
• Make a proper aluminium cover for the hole I opened on the tunnel wall near the peddles.

Other Things:

• Fix the rear light that would not turn on (turns out it was a wire disconnected on the loom);
• Add an immobiliser (legal requirement);
• Add a rear light and a connection to the reverse-box to light it up when reverse is engaged (new legal requirement);
• Add the brake fluid reservoir lids with warning switches and wire them to the loom;
• Move horn from steering wheel to dash to not have wires on the driving column;
• Add labels to all indicators and knobs on the panel and put Digidash in "Road Mode";
• The vacuum pipes on the engine block and making the mixture poor when idle;
• Remove the driver seat's slider (to avoid issues with seat height against seat belts' hooking height):
• Tank tape on tunnel top and on the side near the exhaust, to hide the edges of the aluminium panels (on the tunnel is part of my "mods list" to make a "fake leather interior" that will cover this);
• Add gaiters to the reverse box and gear knobs;
• Remove the extinguisher and bracket from the top of the tunnel to avoid "projections";
• Scuff the airbox to make it rounder because of projections;
• Add covers to exposed bolts (specially on the front hubs and lights) because of projections;
• Add some height between chassis and lights to avoid the wheel arches bumping the lights;

All in all, I didn't make many mistakes. But I also did not have the car ready for IVA without going through Steve first...
