  9. had it not been for insurance i personally would have purchased an M3... driven one on track, driven a couple on the road and i think the car is awesome.granted my budget was slightly higher but that was 2 years ago. i actually disagree with the whole arguement of torque... yes its handy for motorway but to get the best out of most engines u would have to drop a cog or 2 in anyways. the m3 happily trundled along in 4th at 30 just weigh up the pro's and cons, drive both and forget what anybody else says. its a personal choice. -ho ps: black droptop m3 with the red interior... DROOOOL!!!!!!
  10. Ho, just for knowledge whats the difference between the 2? Length I am guessing.. Couldnt you just get a spacer made up? i have no idea bud, maybe summin abbey could answer. just there is always been a choice for HR stuff on their own. (which is usually more $$$$) good question though, ive never really thought about it. also ive never had a chance to have 2 sets of pipe work from DE/rev up to HR stuff next to each other. -ho

  19. hi guys n girl. i was down at A.A.S today which is a custom exhaust fabricator etc. i was after some custom cats but unfortunately i've been informed that this was a major no no. there has been a new law passed that post 2001 cars have to have a stamp on the cats and that these can not be provided by him. aftermarket cats are suddenly now not for road use.. u may wanna check your cats guys. the fine is supposedly 5k per cat so a 10k fine for us ps: this law was put in to the house of parliaments in july 13th i believe and passed in august rather quietly. this is crap -ho newhoo read away Doesn't matter who manufactures them - it's a case of whether they are type approved. The Motor Vehicles Regulations 2009 (SI 2009 No. 1899) and the Motor Cycle Regulations 2009 (SI 2009 No. 1896) came into effect on 13/08/2009. This is from a document I came across that explains it: 1. Requirements for catalytic converters Type approved catalytic converters The MV Regulations apply to replacement catalytic converters intended for cars (category M1) and light vans (category N1) that are fitted with (or were fitted with when the original certificate of conformity for the vehicle was issued) an original equipment catalytic converter and were first used on or after 1st March 2001. The MV regulations permit the sale and installation of new original and non-original replacement catalytic converters for these vehicles only if the replacements are marked in accordance with the MV Regulations and, in the case of sales, are accompanied by the information specified in, the MV Regulations. The marking requirements for original and non-original replacement catalytic converters are different. Original replacements must be clearly and indelibly marked with the vehicle manufacturer’s name or trademark, and the make and identifying part number of the replacement. Non-original replacements must be clearly and indelibly marked with an EC (or if appropriate ECE) Type Approval mark and, wherever possible, be visible when the unit is installed on the vehicle. All new catalytic converters offered for sale shall be accompanied by certain information: • The vehicle manufacturer’s name or trademark and the make and identifying part number (for original replacement catalytic converter) of the unit • The catalytic converter manufacturer’s name or trademark (for non-original replacement catalytic converter) • The vehicle(s) for which the catalytic converter is type approved (non-original catalytic converters) or for which the catalyst is covered by the type approval for the vehicle, including, where applicable, a marking to identify if the product is suitable for a vehicle equipped with an on – board diagnostic (OBD) system • Installation instructions, where necessary This information must be available in the product catalogue distributed to points of sale by the vehicle or catalyst manufacturer. It may also be provided either as a leaflet accompanying the catalytic converter, on the packaging in which the catalytic converter is sold or by any other applicable means. Non – type approved catalytic converters Non type approved replacement catalytic converters can be offered for sale and fitted to vehicles registered before 1st March 2001 or vehicles registered at any time which are certified under the Single Vehicle Approval scheme (SVA). These replacement catalytic converters must be marked or labelled with the message: “ILLEGAL TO SUPPLY FOR TYPE-APPROVED VEHICLES FIRST USED ON OR AFTER 1/3/01â€
