Hey all not posted for a while!

Missed the last meet as i was in germany! Looks like i'll miss the next 1 too as ill be in wales! lol well travelled me :wack:

N e ways to the point! My MOT runs out end of next month and i was wondering if anyone had a catalyst lying about for a 14a that i could possibly borrow to get me through the MOT? I put it on the gas analyser at work and it failed MOT emissions targets by a fair MILE:ghey: lol so thought id see if i could source a cat to sort it out!

if anyone could dig me out of this hole by that time i would be muchos appreciatos :thumbs: :thumbs: :thumbs:

you should be able to fit a std cat to a 3" zorst surely:confused: i just sold mine otherwise you could have borrowed it.

yeah, you should be able to, the bore on the standard 14 one is quite large anyways

As long as the exhaust isn't a single piece jobbie then you can stick a standard S14a cat on fine :thumbs: (An S14 one won't go as Chris says)
I did it every year for about 3 years - What does it matter that the flows buggered up when you'll only take it off again a day or two later ;)

Ahh sweet... so the flanges are the same size so it will still bolt on then? If so thats made life easier!

I've got my stock 14a cat that should go on - the flanges are the same as my apex sports cat, you can borrow it and give it a try if you like... drop us a PM. :thumbs:
