Been out and got them, I got 6 of them so a set for Kelly and John, if they have them already, then I have a few spares, I am sure that they will come in useful

Superb...

Now, If I can once again ask really-really nicely... Can everyone make sure they've liberally soaked the lower cat to manifold bolts in plusgas or some other penetrating oil before they come round?

Yes, you will have to get dirty to do it, and yes you do have to crawl under the car. Try parking with one wheel up on the kerb for to make it easier. You need to get to the three nuts that hold the front of the cat to the manifold, the joint lies inbetween the back of the sump and the offside driveshaft where it passes behind the engine.

Its a pain, but believe me when I say 10 minutes of your time can save a couple of hours of mine!

Cheers!

Eeek!  Do you have a map? Only kidding I'll locate the bolts.  Would baby oil do for the penetrating oil?    s:P :P s:P    s:wink: :wink: s:wink:   Don't worry I understand (barely).

liz - Thanks so much for picking up the parts for me, just managed to sort out this filtering problem as it went all bandy again.

Whey HEY!!! BABY OIL!!!!............

I just got here, can you tell?  s:oops: :oops: s:oops:  

Liz, you are a star. I haven't been around on the board for a little while cos, beleive it or not, I was actually working! So I have only just got to this thread.

But a BIG thanks for getting those gaskets Liz. That is brilliant. I was going to go and pop to the local MrT this weekend (which ISN'T very local at all), but you have saved me a good hours journey. Cheers for that. Do you want the money in advance or do you want it sent to you?

Let us know, but cheers again Liz!!!

Baby oil? Did I miss summink?   s:wink: :wink: s:wink:  

Finally fathomed out this filtering problem - it filters out the  w www.mr2roc.org w  website but not the .co.uk weird but our ISp support are on the case.  At least I can get back to viewing these pages!

I bought some penetrating oil from Halfords to do mine (can't remember which brand, but may have been Castrol) and it was the nuts - I only sprayed some on half an hour before attemting the job, and not one nut / bolt was seized or any trouble to get out  s:D :D s:D

Just had a thought, I've got this new Diagnostics port reader with a built in dyno program. Think of it as a poor mans dyno with all the human error removed and you get the idea of what the software does.

Now, whilst the numbers should in no way be considered definitive in real terms, they are accurate enough for comparison of before and after runs which will give us a very good idea of what precat gutting does to power outputs. Especially if carried out on 2 or 3 different cars. Mark can also use it for the job he wants to do.

Theres just one thing we need to complete my master plan, a laptop that can remain unplugged for longer than 10 minutes without running out of juice!

Anyone?

I would've thought Mark's got one, if not I'll bring either the laptop or the tablet with me.
