i've had a long conversation in Sydney this week with an Oz friend on the subject of getting our SV into Oz. long and short is there is a believe in some of the testers' minds that a rear exhaust is a safety issue in NSW, and having one on a clubman makes the approvals fly through quite quickly. there are rumours of folks doing just this, then putting back the original, but i'd not know about that....

so i am looking for an SV rear exit exhaust. probably will be someone who's car came that way, saw the sense / daylight and converted. appearance isn't as important as that it is in good shape. i promise i'll bring it back in 4 years to you

so, drop me a note if you have one. i'll be able to drive our SV here for no more than 3 months after it arrives to Oz, so i've got about 4 weeks before our belongings are crated up into containers in Ruislip, then shipped off for 6-8 weeks at sea on the way to Sydney.

Caterham will do a rear exit for both CSR and SV I believe. Certainly the CSR has one for Euro 4 compliance in Europe and I imagine and SV one will be available too. It makes the car a lot quieter which could be useful at other times I guess? It does rob power though!

Thanks Dino -- I am in Sydney at the moment having just rented us a cool house on the habour here

i'll give CC a call on Monday -- I only need it "long enough" for certain testing, then won't need it again

I believe they are similar to the one fitted to the MGF.

It migh be a more cost effective route than buying a new unit for just a test.
