Cardiff gate mac d's sounds good to me on a sunday afternoon.


We should make an effort one month to get to the one thats always posted late on here.



I'm tempted to order a new filter this week. Nice one from Jetex. The green one doesnt match the rest of the 'bay. And i might get some shiny pipe to extend it close to the wing.

when you say your having some work done to it do you mean your having a wideband lamba probe fitted? i think ive got mine if you wanna borrow it and buy me a pint!

plates are now fitted, best purchase to date i think, so OEM+ and the standard front plate was delaminating and spoiling the look of the car, will ask dan to lay down a big detail on her soon and she should be back looking how i want her, with new rims of course!

EGT sensor would go in the manifold, wideband pre cat post turbo

I could use a wideband as the first lambda sensor through the programmable output on the controller, but Im gunno just have a boss on the exhaust. Wideband sensors have expected lives of only 500 hours.

Spoke to lad whos selling me the cupra,seems to know a fair abit about the cupras anyway the mot on it is due april next year so was abit worried taking decat off etc for car the swapping back over and risk the bloody exhaust from blowing! anyway he was saying theres a performance centre up by him who have the same exhausts (miltek full system,with specially made down tipe and decat,and there cupras passed the mot easily! by now im thinking hang on no decatts pass mot,he explained decat on normal cars like corsa gsi and saxos etc sound lumpy and chuck the fuel through the car when being measured for emmisions etc,but with the cupra they still run nice and smoothly due to the turbo etc,i said yeah but when i had diesel corsa years back the mot tester revved it up etc to get the final result,and apprently not supposed to revv the cupras if the tester were to do it on my car etc!basically he is saying i shouldnt worry about emmisions on this exhaust system!

its down the the car at the end of the day and how much fuel it burns, the more fuel the higher the emissions, it would be about 90% likely that it would fail the mot with the decat
