Default Emmissions???

How do people with newer engines (eg. zetec) get through the emmisions test on an iva?

Is there even room to fit a cat on the exhaust??


My current car is a Ford KA, which i've fitted a 1.8 zetec engine in (pics on request, if anyone's bothered lol). So i'd like to put a 2.0 zetec in the project car, as i'm familiar with the zetec engines - just wondering how people get it to pass?

Also, after iva i'd like a carbed zetec

Nice work David

Looks as if you have done a darn tidy job of that conversion

As for the Roadster, sports CATS are available & some Motor cycle Cans have a CAT built within them
