Guys im hoping to fitt my decat and manifold soon, the problem is the gaskets are quite expensive (yes im tight)
Do i really need to fitt new gaskets or do you think i can re use the ones i have with some gasket sealer etc? What you reckon

 

Fit new you tightwad, sealant might be ok for a while but when it fails do you really fancy having to do the job again?

Do the job properly first time and not the second, third or even fourth time.

 

Yeah i know, trouble is the cat will have to go back on for the m.o.t most probs, so that a 30 quid gasket every year lol

 

don't use any sealer... if need sealer you need new gasket..

if it did'nt come outta subaru with sealer then we shouldn't either if in good enough order..

 

A good gasket should last more than a year. reused the downpipe one on my car because i forgot to get a new one, no blows with it.

 

Such are the joys of running your car illegally Ryan, put new on this time and see the condition of them when you refit the CAT for the cars next VOSA test.

Gaskets are not really designed to be reusable even the multi layer steel gaskets.

 

It's a Toyota Glanza

 

Try these Ry http://www.importcarparts.co.uk/contact.asp Great prices for OEM gaskets and bits and bobs, speedy delivery too. Best bet, give them a ring monday.

 

Thanks mate, will give them a ring tomoz to get a price

 

Hey up there ryan

What about Camskill, i used them some time ago for shocks to the scoob i had and the prices and service were great, see they have a starlet/glanza section too

cheers
