Was that at northampton motorsport?? if it was i organised that event and i remember your car, didnt it get 175bhp ATF ??

only if you fail the emission test, DE-CATS are NOT illegal, if you can pass the emission test without a cat then your car is legal .

hello all,
ive had my 172 for about 2 weeks now, its my practical car as i have a R5GTT for the summer :D anyway my questions are about de-cating my 172, is it worth the hassle i.e does it make it very very noisy ( i dont want this ) and are the power gains worth the hassle of re-fiting for...
