steb9780 Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 The Supra passed the MOT with flying colours this morning. Even with a double de-cat He tested it said it was right on the line, so I take it he means on the top limit. But it's not on the database so doesn't matter anyway. Girlfriend wasn't happy when my 13 year old car passed straight through and her 3 year old civic didn't last week(although hers only needed a set of sidelight bulbs and wiper blades.) Either way though it's still been the cheapest round of MOT's we have ever had. Last year it was £300 for my rover coupe turbo and £120 for the gf's polo. We both got new cars last year the Civic and the Supra and this time round it cost me £35 for mine and £48 for hers. Well chuffed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbonut Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 good to hear it. Mines fully decatted too, due for MOT early September, I've a 2nd decat at the ready just in case, hopefully won't need it. How come it wasnt on the database btw?? Linda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

r88sch Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 mines just failed and costing loads, needs new front shocks and 2 new rear tyres Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrRalphMan Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 Mine needed tyres to go through, but got them before hand. Can't really complain about tyres, you know they go in the end. Shocks sound expensive though, you going to go for after market ones? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linda I think it's to do with when it was made, and if it requires an emissions test, although I could be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I don't think you can grumble with shocks, especially if they're old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r88sch Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 nope standard ones cant afford aftermarket plus supra is up for sale so no point spending more money on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robin Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 Maybe it's not on the database being an earlier supra or an import? I wonder if I could get away with a double decat... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrRalphMan Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 I think 93 was the cut off point, but it has been discussed before.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
