Revised MOT requirements

[forumadmin]

In section 6.2 regarding seats:
3. Check that the driver’s seat position can be adjusted forwards and backwards and secured in the selected positions.

So your setup will be fine. There is no mention at all regarding tilt or angle of the seat.

It means the fixed seat rail I've just made won't be. I don't really see why I need to make the car more suitable for thieves to drive! Also for MOT testers etc I can just move and retightening the position if required.

At least my passenger fixed rails will be ok.

LOL, when I had fixed seats, I used to drive the car through the MOT test, and do the brake tests myself!!

That was your punishment for having too long legs!

The facelift NSX comes with HID in Japan and the States,but due to our laws on HID's,they are not fitted on UK models,so i'm guessing pre facelift import cars with HID's could well fail.

Indeed, being a JDM Type S my car also has has factory HID headlamps and I believe any 1998-2001 JDM Targa would as well. The projector lenses (made by Stanley) are designed specifically for an HID source so the beam pattern will be fine but the lack of a leveling or washing system may see it fail the MOT in the future.

Guys,

Surely the movement of the seats is relevant for 4 seaters? What possible reason could there be for failing a fixed seat on a mid engined 2 seater?

(surely not another revenue generator aimed the motorist?)

IIRC most Caterhams have fixed seats, and how many of them are there?
