IanH26 0 Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 My track car is due for its MOT in the next few weeks and I normally get PSI in Stoke to send it to their place for it as they understand modified cars.Called in today to discuss a few things and they informed me that the MOT station now won't pass de-catted cars. As my car is de-catted it will automatically fail.So, has anyone either got a VR6 cat that I could borrow for the MOT test in the Staffordshire area in the next 10 days ( I would collect and return following the MOT test, or got a cat for sale?

makster28 0 Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 take the car somewere else,i took mine in last week but before getting it inspected i told the bloke about the decat and i said its pointless giving you any money if the emissions will fail,he said dont worrie i can alter the emissions to suit the decat legally and the outcome was a pass and in most cases a decat will pass anyway if the engines sweet,you need to find a suitable inspection mot bloke who does his job properly and does mots only not quotes and repairs hense you get a honiest opion and hes not out to rip you off,you will find someone mate dont bother messing with cats Link to post Share on other sites
legvw 0 Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 I've got a spare vr cat if your interested in buying it.From experience, cars made on and after 1993 MUST have a cat to pass an mot, regardless of emissions. As i say, this is just me, using different mot places and different cars 1993 or above, and trying to get an mot without a cat. Link to post Share on other sites

IanH26 0 Posted March 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 Hi Paul, thats great, Just a quick check before going ahead, what year is it from as mine is '94 but with an OBD2 engine swap.I presume they are all the same from '93 to '97.I know I had an issue with the lamda before. Does it come with the lamda still attached?Have you got a pic of the cat at all?Many thanks for your help.Ian Link to post Share on other sites
