Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Will decat pass mot since new April 12 laws

I'm agreeing with you guys. What I am saying is that for my car which was first registered Jan 1996, it has to pass the CAT emissions test and as long as it does they can not fail it because a CAT is physically not insitu. Shinny trust you to find more confusion. The link I followed http://www.dvlni...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Will decat pass mot since new April 12 laws

Interesting link to nidirect.gov.uk above and Peter's response. So since the MOT tester has no "official" spec, how does he know whether the car had a cat when built? Exactly, he doesn't. And since if there is doubt he has to give benefit to car owner, his decision on any de-cattted pre-Au...

Re: [FINALIZED] Dec 95, Caribbean Blue, Mk2 Rev3 GT T-bar Turbo

I am getting a few questions coming through as interest picks up again. Firstly, price is still £4500 and not negotiable. The car will need a CAT fitted for its MOT for which the purchaser will have two options. 1) I still have the original downpipe with CAT so that can be re-fitted, 2) I have a goo...

Hi Brian,

Yes I remember. What a day that was. The excitement of picking up our cars. I wonder what Julian Alison is up to these days? Got to admit he certainly found me a remarkable car.

I remember JJ running NOS on his tubby back in 2004/2005. He is always good for advice.

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Steering wheel diameters, what is the smallest you've been able to live with??

I have fitted 300mm Momo Team and its great. It can be seen in my garage link. At 6ft tall, and my seat in a comfortable driving position which is more or less as far away from wheel as possible, I have the wheel adjusted so that I can just see 30mph through the wheel. Can't recall what is just abov...

Re: Who knows there turbos?

320 fwhp is achievable on a rev3+ with ct20b, standard engine internals, good bolt on goodies including standalone engine management and good remap. Standard injectors are at their limit though. There are members on here hitting that figure with above mods. If I mapped in my WI kit running 50/50 wat...

Re: [FINALIZED] Dec 95, Caribbean Blue, Mk2 Rev3 GT T-bar Turbo

Car is now SORN and will not be back on the road until March/April unless you are serious about buying her after a viewing whereby I will put 6 months tax on her.

Re: [FINALIZED] Dec 95, Caribbean Blue, Mk2 Rev3 GT T-bar Turbo

Tax expires the end of this month then she will probably be off the road until March. Anyone interested, insured and wanting a test drive best let me know asap to organise. Price is still the same.

I have updated images showing the gap between the MRD skirts and the car body. Also the marks on the MRD skirts from the bottom of the door rubbing. There are 3 chips in the paintwork that were done prior to my ownership which can be seen in the photos also. These were "touched up" before ...

Two new Goodyear Eagle F1 A's 235/45/17's fitted on rear. Slightly higher profile means when clock reads 30mph actually doing 31.7mph, 60mph=63.4mph.

2nd hand car prices

Some of you may be aware that I am looking to sell my tubby and I have not had a lot of queries regarding the sale. But then there are other tubby's I see up for sale of a similar condition and price and they are not selling either. I am really curious about what people think these cars are now wort...
