mk2 exhaust system need help chosing

[tinytim6666]

hey guys and girls.
i have a 2002 saxo 1.1
im looking into a saxsport exhaust system along with a ss mani to de cat it.
the only problem i have is for mot time. i thort i would be able to put a mk1 centre section on for the cat and run my 1.1 back box just to get though, but ive just found out the i have two lamba sensors. 1 berfore te cat and 1 after.
so any advice would be greatfull on wat you would do to solve this problem thanks alot tim

as i said to you before, cap the second lambda and fit the first lambda.
Really its a waste of money fitting a manifold etc.
You might aswell just fit the exhaust

[tinytim6666]

cheers pal.
i was reading though other threads and saw a guide
my bad for not looking.
thanks pal.
wat would i do then wen it comes to mot time??
just have 1 lamba pluged in on a mk1 centre section

[Sparco_Tom]

yer just the first lambda, thats the one connected to the ecu. The second lambda is just for the engine management light

[tinytim6666]

cheers pal :y:
you are a star.
should i could remove that 1 all togther and just get a fault coder on there to remove the light?

[Sparco_Tom]

you could but it might come back on

[tinytim6666]

cheers pal.
thanks again its a big help :y:
even though people say not to do it i still am
a build takes time

[Sparco_Tom]

My only concern is your trying to extract power from a 1.1. There is nothing to be had from it for the money.

Your best doing an engine conversion or waiting till you can buy a vtr or vts

[tinytim6666]

well not the 8v mani fit on2 a mk2 vtr engine??
what im thinking is to get most of the uprated bits before a splash out on a engine

[Sparco_Tom]

all 8v manifolds fit all 8v tu engines. The only issue can be the oil filters being in the way. You just need to relocate it

[tinytim6666]

yeah i was looking on a sticky about that.
im uprating everything else first. ie all the brakes suspension and so on then il be looking for a vtr engine and gearbox.
cheers for all your help pal :D

[Sparco_Tom]

brilliant mate, sort the handling of it out first :y:

[tinytim6666]

yep :D
suspension is all done and brakes i have vtr calipers and im looking for some nice disc and pads.
do up strut braces do much??

[Sparco_Tom]

i can supply you with some nice mintex discs and pads, top and bottom brace together do stiffen up the front end quite nicely.
Have a look into the omp top and bottom sets

[tinytim6666]

ok pal.
how much on the pads on discs??
where would be best place for omp top and bottom sets kam racing??

[Sparco_Tom]

kamracing really

[tinytim6666]

il get back to you on the pads pal, need to wait till pay day

[Sparco_Tom]

ok then mate

[tinytim6666]

instead of staring a new thread im going to bring this back to life.
im going to put on a new mani to de cat my car unsure yet which.
but i need help on which centre section and back box to choose, looking for round about 2-3 inch tip.
any ideas would be great
tiny
