not tried a sports cat, i should do i suppose, ive got the janspeed manifolds on it too so wanted to make sure and fit the std cat back on.

ive got 2 innovate LC1 widebands's fitted to mine, if i were buying again i think id go for an AEM inline instead. just as easy to fit but ive heard better reviews.

if you dont have the lambda working your going to have to run lean and high tickover to get anywhere near an mot. but that will also make the engine quite hot.

I wasn't at all impressed with the Janspeed manifolds. The first set they sent me were covered in weld spatter and the insides of the pipes were raggy as hell.

Janspeed claimed they had missed the quality control and were sending me another set. I marked mine before sending them back and would you know it 4 days later my "new" manifolds turned up with a mark in exactly the same place!

All they did was grind the first few joints that you could see to make them look a bit tidier

yeah i fitted my manifolds only to find the link pipe didnt fit properly!

i was told it was because they had a few polish there who didnt use the jig!

rear bush on the trailing arm (not to sure could be easy or a pig to do lol never done)
and the one i cant understand is it failed on the emissions ??? even tho its just been mapped it runs fine on the motorway but traffic cuts out and runs ruff ??
so a little more mapping to do there we think

all in all not bad for a car thats been off the road for 3.5 years

another month gone by !... are you any closer to a happy conclusion ?

tb steve · 10-10-12, 10:02 PM

yes dave a bit closer

all the MOT bits have been done
and steve from track and road is popping up to look at the bottom end(revs) on friday for some live mapping and may be some more RR but have to wait and see if it needs it or not
