| Post SVA Mods
I have posted this as a new question as several threads have touched on this question recently
I would like to get clarification on where we stand if we modify our cars post SVA both legally and with insurance. I ask because I am in the middle of my build and would like to establish where we stand for the benefit of all.
As a builder of a GD I fully intend the car to be fully compliant (is this naive) however
How do builders stand with their "quick fixes" such as radius strip
What if you re tune your engine for better performance (the emissions will change)
Are there any records kept about the car which prove/disprove modification
What if I increase the cc's on my 3.5L Rover V8 or change the engine all together for something bigger
Would fitting a hood and other wet weather gear after SVA constitute modifications
Why are SVA cars any different from standard road cars and when was the last time you got an after market exhaust with radiused tail pipe
The MOT shows the status of the vehicle at the time of issue and whilst valid for 12 months does not guarantee the car is road worthy throughout that period, is SVA the same?
I know there are a lot of questions there I can think of many more, any guidance or experience greatly appreciated.
Steve
