I have no idea who I quoted then and I apologise for thinking it was you.

I'm not getting into bhp though. Life's far too short.

You should really only do top speed testing on an airfield or private land. The likes of Elvington with it's 2 mile runway would be ideal. I do warn you though that it is desperately boring after you've done it once.

Prolly not a good idea to mention any intention of going out and breaking the law (/Judas Priest) on the forum as it could come back on the club and we wouldn't want that.

I think the 5% thing was an over estimate anyway PP, I only used it because this is what insurance companies look out for (BHP increased in stacks of 5% according to the performance companies figures, and things that make the car more attractve to thieves like alloys or bodykits). My point was that gutting the precats may constitute as a performace modification (invalidating your insuracne) as well as make the car unroadworthy to MOT testers.

Or am i just paranoid s:shock: :shock: s:shock:

Either way like everyone else here im going to gut mine if i see a crack in em... but then an insurance company that has done it homework would save £££ if they checked the cats on every MR2 claim... in the same way that they check for chipped cars they suspect have been 'modded' without consent.

just some thoughts s:roll: :roll: s:roll:

hello everyone, I want to by a SLD but am not sure which to buy as HKS list two model types on their web site. Anyone know which to use on a 03 SMT. It is US specs if that makes any difference, By the way, I am not buying this to break any laws. I am living in Germany and from time to time I get a chance to open my 2 up on the autobahn but only when traffic is light on isolated sections of the autobahn. Thanks for any help.
