why not fred?

that sounds a little low to me! try a sign in your car, ebay, piston heads, if you sign up for membership then you can advertise on here

magnatec in branded form is bad enough!

is it not possible to drill them out once you remove the manifold?

where is the ghetto decat vid? :approve:

get a multimeter on your battery to check the voltage first , this will tell you if its the battery or not. The fact it is clicking means it could be the battery but it also could be the starter motor. Test the battery and go from there

From opie i just got 10L of Gulf Competition racing 5w40 for £60 delivered, not sure if this offer is still on

oh sweet lord....

SO if you got tested on the roadside and it was high (you had a decat) would you be ordered to have it restested at an MOT station at a later date ? This would give you time to get the CAT back on? You often read stories of cars passing an MOT with a decat when normally they require one - i...

thats the one i was referring to :)

looks good enough to me, it meets the Renault spec and is fully synth so go for it :)

They certainly give the ride an edge , not crashy just stiffens it up

good luck with this :) try posting your request for help in the regional forum section - i am sure someone will help you out :)

I expected much worse when I clicked on the thread, lower it lose the flaps and the sticker and you will be on your way :)

Yep this is what i had to do after jetwashing mine..never again! :(

if it has plenty of history / receipts and despite a few blemishes i would definately go for it. Even if the history isnt present and it looks and feels "right" for £800 i would go for it. I would even try a cheeky offer of £700 cash first - its worth a try :)

No, stick with the above JackJack has quoted - stories of crappy running (more so than usual!) on anything but NGK ones

sounds like it has been on there for years! did the threaded bar go back into the block?

did they get to the bottom of this?

the sportex ones are mild steel so not so much fit and forget. I currently have a Milltek cat back which is a very refined sound, not intrusive at all but from outside the cabin you can certainly hear the note. Its the twin pipe one which sits under the bumper so no cutting needed. However...

would a Ph1 cat be an "upgrade" in place of the current Ph2 cat i have?

i cant comment specifically but if you have a old haynes manual there was a section in the back which explains what the colour and condition of your plug means. If sideways danny says they are fine then they will be - he is the expert :)

i wouldnt advise driving it in that state, however if it cant be avoided then needs must. My backbox fell off my old system and i was forced to drive around for a couple of days with it missing - no amount of exhaust bandage or sleeve would have made a difference as it was corroded to pieces...

I will have a thorough check of my cat when i dismantle it again. I have a 172 so i already have the 2 bolt flange :(

no full system will compare to a backbox less standard system - that is an insane drone which made me feel physically sick a few times The supersport is nowhere near a loud and uncomfortable as runnig with no backbox

I have Phillips bluevision plus, once I de-clouded my headlight lenses they made a nice improvement- not blue either

Nice !

after the first removal i.e when i first got the car and it was v. tight, there is no struggle on my part ;)

Yes i was stationary at the time and got the angle slightly wrong when going up a kerb and crunch...its a kerb i go up pretty regular too
