~ ~ Cal ~~ Posted August 13, 2009 Posted August 13, 2009 this is the reason why I went for a Sportscat. Whilst I love the benefits of "decat-ification" it's a complete ball ache getting the car through an MOT. If you have the time it's not a biggie but my MOT expires at the end of December which is peak disruption time in terms of xmas/new year good to see you are back motoring again and 70 bhp is nae shy !
colin_ross Posted August 13, 2009 Posted August 13, 2009 Cal, you can get it done up to a month early and have them extend the new one as long as you take the old certificate wih you. A decat it IMHO the best power/cost mod you can do and will give you the best results for any future mods as well. It can be a PITA but no pain no gain etc.

mic Posted August 13, 2009 Posted August 13, 2009 Hmmm, I thought the difference in BHP gains between the sports can and the full decat, was minimal, around 10 BHP. Every little helps ....
thewelsho Posted August 13, 2009 Posted August 13, 2009 (edited) Every little helps .... Yeah I know, but I thought it was being suggested by the comments above, that the full decat gives 70bhp gain over the sports cat. The main reason people choose the decat over the sports cat, is not for the extra 10bhp, but for the reduced cost (cat free saves £££££). Edited August 13, 2009 by TheWelsho
scoobykev Posted August 13, 2009 Posted August 13, 2009 Good news Neil, Mine's about the same age as yours i guess, '98. I needed 2 tyres, pretty good going for cars of that age. I have a double catted centre section made up, 15 minute job to get it mot ready
terzo neil Posted August 14, 2009 Author Posted August 14, 2009 mines only done less than 4000 miles since last mot, still had aprils petrol in tank till last meet there at start of month
