MB3Matt Posted December 29, 2013 Author Share Posted December 29, 2013 I just realised, I never mentioned that she got a decat job done at the start of the month, just a stainless pipe welded on to the original head down to the centre section, in anticipation of a full system in the near future, hopefully!

vtec2011 Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 All sounds good! Oh, so you defiantly got a vti lip coming now? And, was the cat bolted onto the manifold like mine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MB3Matt Posted December 29, 2013 Author Share Posted December 29, 2013 Well I've got the guy looking at postage, but I'm pretty much willing to do anything for it, as it'll make such a difference to the front end.Yeah it had the same catifold design, so it had to go, can't decide whether to keep the heatshield now. It is very ugly, and with the cat gone, its not as hot in there now... Have you left yours on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vtec2011 Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 How did you take the cat off the manifold? I had to replace the whole manifold because the cat won't come off! The original heat-shield didn't fit the d16z6 manifold so I had no choice but to leave if off. The manifold would look good if resprayed with black high heat paint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MB3Matt Posted December 30, 2013 Author Share Posted December 30, 2013 Cut the cat off Quick and simple solution. Just means I have to finish the system for an mot, as there is nowhere for a cat now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MB3Matt Posted January 1, 2014 Author Share Posted January 1, 2014 Right, here is the 'to do' list for 2014. Not promising it will all get done, but it will be added to quite frequently I imagine.

Sports catLocate stupid power steering leak and fixNeed new shocks so might go all out and lower at the same time (wallet dependant)Probably some engine bay dressRear seats out, X-brace inBeaks barMAYBE new wheelsNot a short list but hopefully should get most of it one this year 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
