do i need a cat?

[kingy]

ive just been looking for a sports cat for my 1.6 and spotted something in their ad.

say its compulsery for any car after january 2001 will have to be fitted with a catalytic converter.

mine is a 2000 so does this mean i can do away with it?

[Grant]

Why bother if you're getting a '6?

[puglove]

Nah you dont need a cat.......................................... but you will need a dog

[kingy]

grant.... never said for deffo im getting a 6. dont know what im doing at the minute. i keep thinking of getting rid but everytime i drive my car i think that i never want to get rid. so, just looking at other possibilitys.

jamie..... funny fuucker lol.

2 replys and i still dont know.. tish.

[puglove]

I would say yes you do kingy, your car will still have to be put through an emisions test, and without the cat theres 99% chance it wont pass it


better for you^^^

[kingy]

haha, yeah. much better. know i know.

[puglove]

Theres no way they wont test your emisions. so you will have to be within a certain range and i dont think you will meet that with out,

Just screw boost & max fuel back in for MOT oh wait .............

[kingy]

yeah yeah yeah,

hey, is your mrs thinking of getting rid of her motor?

[puglove]

No not , its a case of if you wanted to p/x she'd seriously consider it.

She wouldnt just straight up sell then look for somthing eles, because she wouldnt another that was as well looked after and as honest as that one

[kingy]

mmmmm, we might need to talk.

[puglove]

I cant garentee she will let her go though she is rather attached lol, but yeah if you wonna send me a Pm, with spec history ( basicaly a for sale AD) i can do one for the xsi, then when she gets home it will give her a better idea of what she's looking at

[kingy]

yeah, will send it. im quite attatched to mine as well so this might be a bit difficult to sort lol.

[Toms306]

If you're both attached why are you thinking of swapping??

[puglove]

If you're both attached why are you thinking of swapping??

Because kingy wants a bigger engine & my mrs would benifit from a smaller engine

+ kingy wants a winning ph2

i still think kingy should drop a 16V in it though

[kingy]

still tempted. i dont know what i want to do.

Furry muff.


MTFU AND BUY A 6!

[kingy]

dont confuse me anymore.

[C.A.R.]

My local MOT garage fitted my decat pipe at the weekend.

I asked them about when it next goes in for a test and was told that because it's a diesel they don't usually look for one - they would certainly pass it.

Mine is a 2001 too.

[Matt]

dont confuse me anymore.

Should buy a DT

[kingy]

yeah but mine is petrol. iirc you dont need one at all on a derv

[Toms306]

Yeah, diesels dont need one as they don't have an emmisions test, as long as your exhaust isn't leaking and you're not blowing plumes of coal at fast idle you'll be fine.

On a petrol though, wouldn't even try getting away without a cat!

[kingy]

the cat stays then

[cully]

petrols yes after 1992 if the car was produced with a cat it will be looked for without it will be a fail

[Matt]

Nah you dont need a cat.......................................... but you will need a dog
