I removed it on my own somehow. I think I might 'steal a reg to send with my ebay purchase to cheat the system, pretty annoyed as I used my 15% discount code

I'd do the same but cant be bothered with removing it again on a 172 or fitting a 182 manifold for easy cat removal

I bought this cat last night for my 02 172 but they have cancelled it saying is not legal on an 02 plate. It has the exact same part number as all the other BM Catalysts cats except being a fair bit cheaper. The only thing I can think that would be incorrect is it only having a post cat lambda...

Keep mine on axle stands on the drive😀

I'm just not sure it's worth over 3x the price of a BM catalysts Ebay special?

Just spoke to Ktec about their sports cat, when pressed about their guarantee and MOTs they said 'should' pass they but only if very hot. Much confidence Invoked!

He pays paypal upfront then arranges a collection at his cost, mines being collected tomorrow

I've just sold my 172 cat so deciding what to replace it with...anyone got a genuine 172 cat for sale😂 On a serious note Ktec or Cheapo Ebay job?

So clean Russ! good to meet up again, hopefully get that drive up to Rhayader Dams this summer.

Worth a punt for £400 surely, I bet there is rust though. Look under the fuel cap, around rear beam mounts, actually the whole rear underside and around the brakeline brackets in the front arches. I'd say 126k is low miles too, only 7k a year

Respray, only way to go I think. Really not worth the expense but at least I'd be satisfied

My flamer is like this, the colour under the bonnet and under the rear badges is far darker.

Not a bad idea were it not for the fact the pipe resembles an anchor from the 1600s

😂I might get them in to take mine out! Those two manifold bolts are a right b**ch to get to.

Highest bidder then?

Is this a genuine Renault 172 cat? Looks to have ECIA stamped on it.

Finally started fitting new inner tie rods and rod ends, wishbones and powerflex arb bushes along with a bit of tidy up like the subframe to chassis bars etc. The inner bushes are perished but no noticable play, for the grief involved I may leave them. Good idea?

Snap! As in I have the same, not as in a description of your bolt, well both I suppose! Mine doesn't cause any knocking noises if that helps

Brave!

Tie rods- RPD Powerflex bushes for arb and rack I found cheapest on ebay

I seem to remember valvers were prone to rippling around the sunroof too

Who starts their week on a Thursday! Korma on a Monday?

😂paternity leave, that's going to go down well! Pretty sure mine was uneconomical from the start, sure is now but I'm not stopping 😁

Definitely, there's some horrors hiding under the rear ends

I wonder if cutting an copy of the filler hole out and bonding it to the backside with seam sealer before spraying it up would add some needed rigidity?

Sadly mine had rust behind the stone chip that had caused a 10mm hole the top of the inner arch above the filler, where Russ has rust on his. I treated it and whacked some body filler over it then have spent the next year trying to erase my memory of it.

I've never found I've needed a cup holder in any of my 1*2s, they'd only spill anyway if you're driving them as intended.

I think I paid £100 to get mine blasted and powdercoated, very chippy though as @npt says. A bit disappointing really but it looked like an anchor beforehand

I think those links above haven't actually shown the sizes I used Russ but M10 x 1.5 nuts and I think I would M10 20mm washers not sure what form though c or b?
