RS2000 Posted March 17, 2003 Share Posted March 17, 2003 Take it to a friendly mot tester, and ask him to do the test on another car, but put your car's details in... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonC Posted March 17, 2003 Share Posted March 17, 2003 Ask em if the machine is within calibration, and test another car with it. try another MOT place one with a guy you can get friendly with :tongue: maybe offer him a tenna to get it thru lol u never know...also try getting powerflow to make a side exit sneaky exhause that the mot place may not notice, then the emission will be halfved lol well u can dream Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colin Posted March 17, 2003 Share Posted March 17, 2003 Run your car nearly empty, then empty a whole pile of that anti-fuel gunk into your fuel tank, fill up with a different petrol station's petrol, and stcik a 5er of super unleaded in there as well, that will help as it burns stronger and faster (ie more preformance), so it will help burn all the gunk outta the system, just don't drive the car too hard until the tanks nearly empty again..........
