......piece of pi55
just done it in less than 3 hrs! (MY98)
started half way through eastenders and ive just finished 10 minutes ago, including cutting the heat shield to fit.
BTW i did it on my own and im not a mechanic, im a chippy
what suprised me the most is how easily the 5 nuts/bolts came off.

Practos,
but does she look like a Russian shotputter
Shearing the bolts is sometimes the fastest way to do it - but make sure you have some spare bolts! It's how the Scooby mechanics do it - big bar - whap, whap, whap and Bobs your Auntie.

What do you think of the drive with the decat dp on?
I'm seriously thinking about putting my cat back on as my 1st MOT is due in November
What always puzzles me is, look at BHP and torque on an RB5 with PPP, thats got a cat dp on and the published times are quick 0-60 and 0-100 what's the big deal with changing the dp to a decat? Sure the turbo might spin up quicker, but does it actually make the car any quicker???
