hi guys oh and girls sorry :P Im from Derby, and own a saxo VTS similar to this one
http://img506.imageshack.us/img506/3333/saxocele3ld.jpg
in fact its pretty much identical to this one, except min has black VTS rims on it! here's a list of my mods so far:
PiperX Viper Induction kit
GMC Throttle Bodies
708's Cams
supersprint 4-2-1
Powerflow Straight through 2" exhaust system
Decat
port & polished head
and its apparently been Rolling Roaded at 163bhp does that sound right, he's one of me best mates so dont think he would be bullshittin me, but the thing is rapid as fuck to be honest!
now it all sounds nice and technical but i havent got a clue what most of it even does lol, i bought the car with these mods, i bought it off a friend an he listed me the mods incase i would ever need them, and mentioned something about refitting the cat for MOT, how do i do this?
oh and ay suggestions as to what i should do next please guys. Also just to add Im not into bodykits etc, personally i think they look tacky, but thats just my opinion, i prefer the car decked instead, anyday.

Hey and welcome. Im new here too. Car looks and sounds awsome.
Regarding the Catalytic Converter (Cat) - What i Cat does is basically break down harmful exhaust emissions into carbon dioxide nitrogen and water by use of catalysts. If a car came as standard with a Cat then when it goes through the MOT without one it most likely will fail unless you know a very understanding or easily bribed MOT tester.
If you have any doubt then i would not reccomend refitting it yourself. Take it too a garage and have it refitted. If you damage the Cat then a new one will not be cheap .

Nice car and welcome btw, regarding the CAT if it has not got one on the exhaust at the moment then that means you have the decat pipe in there, and when it comes to a MOT take the decat pipe off, not too hard a job and put the cat back in, just a bit if time but can be a PITA if bolts are rusted on.:y:

Theres an East Midlands meet on the 14th i believe.
The West Midlands one has been placed to get a gathering from both East and West Midlands, its at Swadlincote Ski Centre which isnt too far from you atall in Derby :)
EDIT: Swadlincote is 16 miles from Derby and 15 miles from Castle Donington.
Its within 30 miles from Birmingham, Leicester, Coventry, Nottingham, Derby so easily accessible :)
