best thing to do if you can is get it on a ramp and take a pic of it bit of a PITA i know but at least we could see what the prob is??

cat boxes, and the box directly behind them. cost 170 squid, expensive but its a pukka job they took ages getting the replacement piece long enough and flared out to just the right amount. sounds gorgeous I am in love with my z all over again

no there is a distinct difference in the time taken for the power to be transferred from the pedal to the tyres.

basically you should have had everything if you asked for a downpipe back, they could argue that they thought you meant FROM the downpipes back rather than a full system including downpipes. they have just replaced mine and the work was quality so if i was you I would go back and discuss it with em... got to be worth a try hth

wouldnt have much choice though with a lungful of happy gas!!!! :dance:

I am a happy man!! its a sunny day (targas off) and.... have just had my cats and centre box removed from the blue meanie and bloody hell :dance: :dance: what a difference i nearly shot me bolt :x: when i accelerated for the first time lovely deep throaty roar, and the gurgle when you are just pootling is fantastic. just got to wait for the smoke to start now!! :( it ought to be compulsory this de-catting lark :D :D

baggins dont forget that oil pressure switchchchchchchch -damn plaster on me finger got stuckinthththth the keyboard!! -hey a keyboard with a stututututter lol

Glad to see the weather is beginning to pick up - dunno about the rest of you but its bloody beautiful here. :dance: :dance: 1....2....3..... Targas off :) :) Shades on :cool: :cool: oh dear...... back on the tablets!!!

do i need the box directly after my cats(1990 jap tt auto), I am told that it is the balance box?? am getting decatted today and just want to make sure i can get rid of this box too(cos its got a bloody great hole in it!!) thanks guys

well popped the z up on a ramp and found the source of the prob. fooking great crack in the box after the cats!! am gonna get the guys at Longlife to just put longer pipes on 2m to bypass this box as well. should be ok as i have 2 back boxes anyway so.. should this be ok

Baggins? Mac? Vijay? andyduff? skylinedave? anybody...................................

I seem to recall Tattooman having a similar problem .. you could maybe ask him, cant remember what he did

fairy muff! give R R Garage a try though, their mechanik has sorted out most things that could possibly occur on zeds hth

thousands spent!! lol where ?? standard outside even down to wheels!! must be rare though an automatic thats been converted to manual but still has an auto box gotta get me one of them pmsl!!!

oh forgot the garage is in Huntley on the A40 towards Ross on Wye bout 8-9 miles outside Gloucester

what do you need doing?? Ross Road Garage know their stuff the owner and mechanic there have had z's for years. thier number is 01452 830333 as far as the conzult goes why dont you come down to the bristol meet on sunday? Baggins is bringin his to Conzult mine and T-man's I am sur a third wouldnt be a prob!! if you can get to cheltenham race course for 10.30 come up with me, Tattooman, Emero, and steve-o in convoy.

Ok now I have a new noise!! -lucky me! a rattley/buzzy sort of vibrating noise from (I Think ) where the cats are. It starts at 2000 revs continues to 2500 and then goes. While it is rattling performance seems to be down but when it goes she pulls as normal. anybody know wtf is going on - had thought it may be the cover over the cats rattling but could it be the cats breaking down?? am having them removed 2m so will see any input gratefully received cheers

this will stop my gurgling problem as well wont it?? what are the aiv's anyway? and do they not work when de-catted then? how about performance no probs ther i trust

pipes that need plugging?? what with matey and will an exhaust specialist like Longlife have something to do it with?? cheers great spec chris I am assuming that 200bhp is a joke right??

thought that was a bit off tbh if this site is so rubbish....why is he here??

getting my cats removed/replaced on Friday on my 90 jap tt auto. Anything i ought to make sure they do?? thanx
