Hi all :) Question from a dummy

[Stifler]

Hey all this is my first post on the forum so please take pity on a moron if it has been asked a thounsand times before  s:) s:)

After test driving various mr2's im 99% certain i want one.

after lurking on this site one word kept cropping up 'pre-cats'

I dont know much about the internal workings of cars and was wondering if anyone could tell me what these are, what the effect etc , or a link on the sitethat will tell me- thanks  s:) s:)

Pity you...I mean welcome!  s:P s:P  

Precats are small cats that are in the manifold.

Welcome along Stifler (like the name!!!), but as this has been mentioned at least.....ooooohhhhh.......1 million times, I would suggest using the "Search" factility at the top right of the page and see what it comes up with cos there is LOADS on this site about it and I am pretty darn sure that you will find everything you need to know in this.

Hope this helps!!!  s:D s:D

Yeah, in response to my own post, sorry if it came across a little forthright! Not meant to. Basically, don't worry about the pre-cat problems. They get sorted one way or the other. Just buy one and enjoy it!! Best fun you can have with your clothes on (I think.......  s:? :? s:?  ). Deal with whatever comes your way when you have to.........

Don't worry. That's what the warranty/extended warranty is for. Or invest in a long (destructive) screwdriver.  s:wink: :wink: s:wink:  

Buy it already and enjoy the fun! Past two days I've been remembering what top-down high-revving motoring is all about.  s:wink: :wink: s:wink:   Roll on the spring!  s:D s:D

Welcome, and top colour choice BTW.

A lot of us buying in the last year or so have gone through the pre-cat issue over and over again.  I bought one anyway, and it really is a small percentage that fail.

It's a great car to drive and own.

Thanks again for all your help and your warm welcome
