Failed

[Duncs]

it failed its ESVA,
tyres, Yokos advan A -046 no load capacity (i suspected this)
even Yoko uk cannot supply the details, so looks like 4 new tyres then
unless i can track down a civic owner for a day !!
oh and ecu and throttle pot numbers dont match !
i was there for 3.5 hours, what a test

I have set of 4 nearly new Bridgestone RE040 215/45/ZR17 tyres for sale off a DC5 if thats any help? All have nearly full tread depth although one has had a puncture repaired in the middle of the tread pattern. Looking for £100 for the set.

If they are the orginal set off the car, they too will fail the test!!

Sorry to spoil a sale.

had my test in southampton, renowned for being tough,
orderd a set of goodyear f1 gsd3 s now, fit tomorrow, retest
next week, i will win :evil:
the ecu thing is proving to be the tough part but i have a way ahead
oh and a need to fit a grommet around the fog light cable
which is sleeved and is going through a plastic bumper !
i chose to do it this way, i have learnt a lot about the test,
and more important learnt a lot about my car

thanks for the offer of tyres, i will keep my advans
for spares, i am sure the GSD3s wont last too long.
as for the failing of tyres spoke again to Yoko and apparently
because they are JDM tyres no need to do any test for
export market,
so win some, lose some
