cat
if a car was originally fitted with a cat but was from 1991 and this engine was used in a roadster will it need to have a cat for IVA?

read the iva manual
read the small print with this one in the iva book theres a chart that explains what exaust gas test is applicable to your car/build. basicly you need to prove your car is not a exact match the cat test database (easy for haynes builders) and your engine was made pre 1995 if you cant prove it then it gets cat tested to post aug 97 you realy need to read section 02b in the iva manual as everyones build is rated diffrently pay attention to the note: “Effective Date” The “effective date” used to determine the criteria applicable is - the date of manufacture of the vehicle, except for an “Amateur Built” vehicle, a “Vehicle manufactured using parts of a registered vehicle” or a “Rebuilt vehicle” it shall be 1 January immediately preceding the date of manufacture of the vehicle’s engine if this is earlier. If the “effective date” cannot be determined, it must be assumed to be on or after 1 August 1997. ps it makes no diffrence if your doner had a cat or not as theres no exact match and your building a amature build so its going to be a genric test purely based on your effective date (see above)from your engines date of manufacture. i think all the confusion comes from people not reading all of it Last edited by baz-r : 4th March 2012 at 01:43 PM.
