Default another ESVA question

sorry to ask again but ive got a Q about a couple things...

firstly, do i actually need this model report thing?

second, the car has a custom exhaust on it, ithink its a mugen. will that make it fail?

third, wheels arent standard, is testing based on wheel size or overall rolling radius?

and lastly, in regards with alarms, i know japanese alarms work on different frequencies which would result in failure, but if the car doesnt actually have an alarm, can it still fail?

please help me, doing a search doesnt help me with everything and it seems that everyone gives me a slightly different answer, even the guy i spoke to at vosa was clueless!!!

If you are just importing it yes you need an SVA

Any aftermarket part will fail it.

Alarm shouldn't effect it.

Errr, yes.

Are you sure you don't want to just pay one of the people that do this stuff? Sorry, but sounds like you're going into this without much of an idea of what you're doing.

Some info here:

Alternatively, wait a year, then you'll be able to get S2Ks without an SVA.

im startin to think about letting some1 do it for me. i wanted to do it myself as it would cost less but might be worth the extra cash to be honest.
i though, fit a foglight, put standard bulbs in headlights, fuel neck modand a couple other bits then take the car to the testin station which is round the corner to my house, and bobs your uncle. turns out i have to fill in a form, send it off with the money for it, and they book the appointment for you. car arrives on the 26th of this month and im going away for 2 weeks on the 4th of september so by the time its done itll probly be xmas!!! .................... damn i sound like a moany b$%#ard!!!!!
