Re: Downpipe or decat - which one is better?

Mine is decatted and it still passes MOT but i need to find out whether it was built.

That is exactly what i mean. :lol: I would rather pay and get it done as i do not want to spend hours under the car.

Downpipe or decat - which one is better?

Hi all,

Is having a downpipe or decat the same or having downpipe has its advantages over a decat?

Which downpipe is good to buy and how much should i be looking at paying for a downpipe fitting as i do not want to do it myself?

I own a MK2 Rev3 Tubby.

[Mk2] [Turbo] HKS SSQV dump valve fitting - can see the orange rubber ring

After fitting my HKS SSQV, i can see the orang rubber ring slightly. Is this normal?, have i fitted it wrong? or have i put the rubber ring the wrong war round?

Any pics of your HKS fitted will be very helpful.

Thanks :thumleft:

Re: Apexi GT or Nur Spec

The thing is that i already have Apexi GT on mine and i have always loved the way Nur looks. I was tempted to change from GT to Nur but before doing so, i wanted to get some feedback.

As i am writing this, it looks like i will have to change. :cry:

Re: Question about unburnt fuel popping in the exhaust (loud bang)

Since i do not want a chavmobile, i already have Apexi GT on mine so thanks for the advice but no thanks.

Also If this question is too technical, i guess i have to ask someone else who knows. As simple as that.

P.s. Thanks for the info Kinsy.

Question about unburnt fuel popping in the exhaust (loud bang)

Why do some cars get that loud bang because of unburnt fuel and MR2s don't?

Well when i say don't, i mean not as loud as some other cars on the road.

[Mk2] [Turbo] Smell petrol after hard driving.

Hi all,

After driving my MR2 hard, i smell petrol on the same side as where the filler cap is. The smell is sometimes strong and sometimes less but it worries me sometimes.

Does anyone get that or could there be a problem with my car?

Thanks :thumleft:

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Knock on full Lock

I believe it could be the ball joints. Not 100% sure though.
