Hi,

A few questions, if you don’t mind.

You mean the previous owner ran it on V-Power, because it sounds like you've only had it 5 minutes?

That silencer looks a little loud to get through an MOT?

Why are you converting it to 2WS?

What make/model/size of tyres and tread depth? (on both sets)

Why are you raising the ride height?

If you can let me have the V5 doc ref no, so I can run an MOT history check.

Plus those extra photos would be appreciated.

Cheers.

I've owned the car since December 24th 2012. I've only ran vpower in it since then, dint know what the lad before me used.

The tyres are budgets (were on the car when I got it)

the exhaust is down to the discretion of the mot tester as to wether its too loud or not, personally its not that bad.

You can do an mot check with the reg plate, which is clearly vissible in the pictures.

I raised it as not everyone likes a car on its ass.

2ws conversion is dine because I think the 4ws system isn't very good. Doesn't do anything for the handling, although parking wise it was awesome.

Good choice on the Teg Lewis. UK or JDM?? Fantastic cars in the twisties, still regarded by many as the best handling FWD car ever made and after driving 1 im sure you will agree. Outright pace isn't up to much though from experience.

GLWS of your Lude. Mine went last week.

You sold you're lude??

Yeah sold it. Got bored, wasn't using it much and for it to be how i wanted it i would've needed to spend strong money on it. Paint and bodywork etc.

Thanks for the answers, Lewis.

Budgets on both sets of wheels? Can you come up with make/model, please?

You can’t run an MOT history check with just the reg plate. You also need either the V5 document reference number or the last MOT number: https://www.gov.uk/check-mot-history-vehicle

The ones on the car at the minute are called "sunew" personallym its the first time ive heard of them...... the other wheels i dont know there still packaged in my shed and by the time i get home its dark.

The passenger door and wing were replaced just short of a month ago. Some woman crashed into me down in london. There was no other damage other then the wing, but the door had a dent in it from the previous owner so i replaced that at the same time.

I will have to get you the last MOT certificate number when im home, as im at work currently.
