cheap backbox and an induction kit

"£200 to spend "

On a 1.2?!?! Erm not a lot. Even if some magical mod offered a 20% increase you not going to notice much improvement. A decent back box or sealed induction kit will swallow that £200 plus more.

running a de-cat on a n plate is illegal......but how many coppers do you know who would know what a cat even looks like, let alone get on his knees to have a look under the car!

you will need to keep the cat for the mot so it passes the emmisions test, and there are only 4 bolts so its easy to swap over.

Surely it is illegal if it voids your MOT as driving without an MOT is illegal!!

 

[cliosportcraig]

I thought that any car that came with a CAT must have a cat to pass its MOT ??

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

you do not need a cat for the MOT either, it only reduces the emissions, if the car passes without the cat, then you dont need one

there is no test to check if the cat is fitted

this is a misconception of the law

He is quite correct.
