u should have just told the tester the engine was pre-92, and so get non-cat test.
when i got my kreg (elligable 4 cat test) clio mot'd 2-3wks ago, i told the bloke the F7P "was out of an Hreg R19"!! it wasnt, but could have been!!

what sort of decat and exhaust do you have Jonny?

I have a smacked out CAT which is doing me no favours at all. So think yourself lucky.

The cat that came off the chamade (its running the old hatches smacked out cat and mid section) was well buggered. Its all collapsed and a bit of a mess.

need to get a proper pipe decat on mine.

How olds your boy?

its all standard....excpet for the decat of course, which i got from ktec...straight thru jobby...after more driving today i can notice that the cat kinda strangles it a bit at high rpm...so it will be goin back on!

my boy is now 7 into everything but not quite got the build yet for hefty engine work heh heh

Tempted to stick a genuine ren 1 on but mucho money.

probably a walker system then. The one I have is crap, the tailpipe is cack, to small.

The hatch had the same prob it was round as they used a ph2 back box on it.

I fancy a stainless steel effort, Bens old ph1 chamade wore a twin DTM scorpion, it looked ok and sounded great, bit neddy for me.

lol sounds a bit like where Rusty stays but the upper limit is 15 and you must have 2 by that age!
