:laugh:
After the car passed its MOT it has either been A) Sat and done nothing or B) took my mrs to work. I went to uni in it once and missed the responsiveness that the new cat lacked.
The funny thing is any minor change that happens with this car and I'm on it like a shot, it's instantly noticeable, nevertheless I set about fixing it.
I bought myself a Sportex decat as a little milestone present...
Yep the chassis has finally reached 100,000 miles. So what does that mean? Well, the chassis, the carpet, the doorcards, the sounddeadening, the interior loom, the dash, the brake lines, the servo, the headlights, the wiper arms, the bodywork and windows have all covered this mileage. Whereas engine and suspension is another story lol! In actual fact I'm running driveshafts that are over 100,000 miles thanks to curran
Surprised they're still going despite the abuse I've thrown at them.
Anywho. The decat is awesome. It runs quieter at low revs, no annoying rattle either... and my god has it opened the car up. Much more responsive... but that said I've only done a max of 40mph in third gear so I haven't enjoyed the full flavour of what the car will sound like when it approaches that little invisible red line (still need a rev counter)
So it had been too long since I'd burnt petrol unnecessarily and took a diversion on a drive home. As a video was needed of the de-catted supersprint system (somewhere quiet and secluded was required) I set off and ended up travelling a nice 20 miles before noticing that I should pull over whilst sunlight was still available. But the drive was sure worth it!
As promised here is a quick vid of how the system sounds now. The main gain from the decat is throttle response and noise but it feels noticeably quicker, we'll see if there are any gains at the next RR.
And again here are some pictures after the drive:
Sorry for the long post.
