Philplop Posted August 20, 2011 Report Share Posted August 20, 2011 Did they do the decat? They told me they weren't allowed to touch the standard cat due to new regulations, and that was about fitting a sport cat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
221_matty Posted August 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2011 No I fitted the Decat myself. Here is what it sounds like now.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

221_matty Posted September 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 Sooo been up to a little bit this weekend... Aquired this - BMC CDA I removed the tatty sticker & cleaned the hell out of it, whoever had it before this must have seriously been choking there engine. Also attached heat reflective tape to the intake manifold side. Got this tatty bracket with it too After slaving with the polisher... Then tackled this: End resultHere is the bay currentlyIm half way through with the BMC Im tossing up between hard aluminium pipe or just ducting to the CDA, and need a better catch tank than an evian bottle! but its just to get me by for the RR day this weekend. Got a sticker on route for the BMC too, and an Engine cover which should make the bay fantastic. Hopefully by the end of the week these will be in!

221_matty Posted September 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 Well this is whats taking the biscuit, the origional plan went out the window when we realised its nothing like my brothers Ibiza's runners. It will be a frame wider than the seats that will mount onto sliders or something to move them, ill keep you posted on that, as to be fair my brothers the brains on this subject as hes done plenty.

So I immediately got on with reflective taping.Then onto fitting, it was a mega ball ache, cutting and chopping here there and everywhere! but the end result is just incredible!

Tomjw Posted September 14, 2011 Report Share Posted September 14, 2011 Lookin good mate, where did you get the engine cover from? I found one on german ebay before but I cant find it anymore Also the BMC CDA is carbon wrapped so its designed to protect against the heat anyways?

221_matty Posted September 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2011 (edited) I can get hold of them they aint cheap mind!BMC - Yeah but when you have a massive roll of the stuff its hard not to use it.Also every little helps. Id rather put it on for the 5 seconds It took as I know how warm it gets around there + its just another touch.
