now then fellers im having an exaust made and fitted next weekend was quoted 280 quid for a full system from the manifold right out the back with stanless steel lifetime garuntee. just thought and looked on your diagram it says it needs a catalyst is that right. it also says N/A what does that mean not avalable. could i have one made without the catalyst. not sure what im on about. catalysts were non compulsory up to 1993 i believe. would it gain more less power without one is it legal does it need one etc etc etc. any help welcome thanks in advance

cheers, its going to be even tider soon, due in the body shop on thursday to get dack driver door, boot lid and bonnet sorted then their wont be an drop of rust on her. It has three cracks on the dash which you cant see if you are driving but can from outside. What could have caused this, a bump or the sun dont have a clue and does not look like its been in a bump. any clues

so if i wanted to put say a 1.8 20v turbo into a standard syncro what would i need to upgrade, i.e gearbox with a rallye box etc etc etc, any ideas would be more than appreciated. would the 4wd system hold a bigger engine

thanks

[kevinwilson]

the only fault is that it judders when setting off in first gear if the revs are less then 2k above 2k its fine, after this there is no clutch slip in any gear and the car runs fine. Any Ideas. thought it may be the clutch

[kevinwilson]

I am well chuffed, was not even looking for a car and didnt even know mk2 syncros even existed so when I saw it thought I just better buy it.
