PLEASE HELP! URGENTLY NEED TO BORROW/BUY CENTRE CAT PIPE
 

for a uk classic turbo.

in a nutshell my car failed on emissions at my previously friendly garage (a few changes have put a stop to this now:() i run a full decat and general feedback is that it should be ok with just the centre. it's not a million miles away at the mo (0.51% CO) so i'm hoping this will do the trick.

does anyone have one kicking around that they want to sell?
or has anyone have one they can spare for a day or two for a few beers?

being a dozy **** my MOT runs out on monday so i need to get something sorted a bit sharpish, so very desperate to sort something out over the weekend.

i know this shouldn't really be here mods, but if you could hold off on moving it for a little while that would be much appreciated:)

cheers

pretty please?:)

OH, thats bad news m8, my garage also does the "turn the other cheek" thing on my full decat exhaust come mot time, so know where you're coming from on that score :(
I've got a full my99 standard exhaust in my garage, but a little too far for you to come and borrow it :(
Hope you have some luck closer to home.
chris.

cheers mate ,fingers crossed.

I still have the centre cat from my classic import wrx and you are welcome to borrow that if it fits. I am in north london which is a bit better if you are really stuck.
Good luck

Drooling yet? ;)

Tony:D

PS, when do you pick her up? :D

:D:D i never paid nowhere near that much...... :p

hopefully one day this week once its been mapped and had the alarm and tracker fitted........ :D:D

Emissions...... DOH!
Right, couple of tips, ensure the car has been serviced quite near to the point your having the MOT done, ensure the car is hot before they take it on (should reduce emissions quite well, considering that my MY00 PPP'd decat ran 0.01% with 30k on the clock, thats what you should be aiming at (and there was NO cheating either :D)
Put the best fuel you can in her, burns cleaner, less emissions (supposedly ;))

Tony:D

But this is a 2005 Type RA limited edition car though ;) (built to order btw :D)

Tony:D

Ahhhh mapped ;)
Just seen a JDM 2003/4 car with over 360bhp and 400lbs of torque, with just a remap ;):D

Tony:D

its only litchfields fuel map........ :D:D ATM..... ;)

Well im getting a little unsettled with my 310+bhp and 331lbs of torque at the moment ;) so you never know ;):D

i se this soooooo many times and have to question its validity....

Every mot i have seen, the tester follows a set procedure, and the emmisions test is usually midway, or toward the later half of the test, by which time the engine has been turned off or cooling down.

My station has commented on several occasions, tht he has to get the cat warm before it lights up, so why go to all the trouble...

and how many times have you rolled up to a test centre and they have been chomping on the bit to get your car onto the ramps and retested for defects??....... ihmo never..

its usually a 10 or 15 minute wait..

whereabouts are you mate? and is it possible to pick this up over the weekend (sat if poss;)). how much do you want for it or do you want it back for yourself?

cheers for the other replies guys, gives me a few options to fall back on if all else fails:thumb:

tony, service is due next fri so probably about the worst time if this makes a bit difference, optimax all the time (needs to be coz TEK2) and the guy put in the dipstick temp reader and took it above 80'c so i guess it was running about as warm as it will be? (all things considered that is)

im just over the water literally...... if your gravesend i could wave.... im east tilbury... i dont need it anymore so a drink would be more than enough ( wont be no good for a MY03 spec 'c') :D:D

would you be able to meet up tommorow by any chance?

yes im about all day....... lakeside services any good?????? and a time??

timewise, anything at all to suit you mate, directions wise it's a bit emabarasing but i'm ****e with anything over about 5 mins from my front door. if you could send me some c**t proof directions as to where you want to meet and i'll deffo be there:)

if you cross the dartford tunnel take the first exit and go right. at the next roundabout turn left into the services.... easy.... :D:D

does the first exit take you down to a sort of big r/bout with loads of traffic lights? (told you i was useless;):D)

right leads to lakeside, sort of left takes you onto the A13 towards circus tavern?

yes thats it......... about mid-day in the petrol station ok??????

cool, 12 'o'clock in the petrol garage it is. i'll be in the red classic waving an MOT fail on emissions certificate;)

many thanks:)

Got one in the garage that is not of any value to me, and will end up in the skip when I get around to it.

You can either collect or have it for postage costs.

i will be in an R-reg discovery holding a catted centre section...... :D:D wish the spec c was here..... :(
