now where does this bit go ?

[shaunwil]

very nice, did you even think of derusting it    Looking very cool. Can\'t wait to hear what it sounds like. Will it affect fueling much ?

Just noticed how apt your reg is Stu, how often have you said/shouted/screamed/gurgled \'ARR!\'  since owning it!? :rollin
Looking good mate, if I were you I\'d look at finding a Big fat cat or summat to use for MOT time though.

that funny brett !!

im hoping that cause its pre 92 - it wont need cats - and with keeping the air pump on - i should be OK on the emmission side

it better not effect the fueling - only got 200 out of a FULL TANK - very worried about that - i think i will run some injector cleaner thru it !!

and the reg - yeah i can say ARR a lot !! - and my dad pointed out - that my surname is harrison - and the reg is HARR - still debating getting a private plate for it i could do with H666 STU

thanks

stu

( whats all this about derusting - blimey didnt think of that - or how to be honest !! )

Stu cats where only needed from1994 onwards so no problems there. You may as well ditch the air pump as well as it wont make any differance now the cats gone other than making a noise when pumping. Pleased to see you finally got there.

Might be worth running it down to the local MOT place and getting them to stick the probe up the exhaust and see what its putting out, that way you can plan ahead if you need to change things for the MOT

[grinder]

cunning plan -  like it

thanks for the help and advice chaps ( and esp to kevin - for the stud extractor )
