haha. fair play. it sounds like the same as mine. am waiting for one of the members to get back to me and hopefuly will be sorted then mot'd

 

[vngtx]

oh no...MOT???!!

 

[skwaggles]

yep. failed on the emissions when i took it down before. have changed loads so far but still don't seem any better. hopefully its down to the timing

 

[crossedmike]

oh no...MOT???!!

[vngtx]

only thing that mikes can fail on is being to loud. awsome sound tho.

 

[skwaggles]

its a custom job by modtec full stainless steel to cat but after mot im loosing the cat lol



i was also thinking it may fail on loudness lol it has to be 90db to be legal im thinking of ramming steelwool in there to muffle it and keep emmisions down hahaha

 

[vngtx]

taking the cat OFF????? you will be deaf.

 

[crossedmike]

manifold on look out for again and decat lol but i mean im also pondering stripping haha but you know you got a mk2 when the you see another one at a show and want yours to look like this hahaha

 

[vngtx]

i have a decat

 

[skwaggles]

hmmm might try the steel wool idea for the emissions just for the mot.............

i would assume iot similar to the cat on a very very very simple way lol and a quick fuel cleaner and jet on motorway may help haha

 

[skwaggles]

knowing my luck it would shoot out the back as soon they revved it up then they'd try tell me the cats knackered. lol

ahhh yes it could fly out unless you put it before the cat but im not sure lol im not advising here im just saying i may try it haha but deffo give it a run up motorway with fuel cleaner in before does it a world of good

 

[skwaggles]

i already tried that one before the mot. since then have changed lambda sensor, dizzy, rotor arm, dizzy cap, ht leads, spark plugs, coil. the timing is my last hope

 

[crossedmike]

i have a decat

if old bluey passes her mot exam i may buy her a present lol

 

[skwaggles]

i'd leave the cat on mate. after reading up on here, apparently the decat ruins the torque on the 8v engine.

i honestly dont know if she will pass or not she drives ok just tracking that needs doing but also high beams are tempromental so think need new cluster as i can see a metal clip in the lense
