Nice one Rob

The Starmist Cosmos Blue I assume?

It will seem like years until you get it, but prepare
to change your life.

Go create some weather...

Indeed, Leven are the current internal upgrade experts.

De cat, I'd personally get the Sports Exhaust first.

It's a pro / con thing if you decat.

I was a pro decat when I had my 96, but naturally come
MOT time, you need some fitted and unless you can do
it, even if you find someone to do it, it's not a five
minute job so labour adds up.

You also risk being pulled. How I never was, I'll never
know it was a loud 107db!

For all that, not sure if it's something I just got out my system,
but the catted 98 4.5 I now have is much quieter, but pops and
bangs like Guy Fawlkes night.

Some mates followed me yesterday in their 96 Cerb and
said they thought I was going to blow a hole in their
radiator!

It is about a 20 min job, local tyreservices places will normally do it for £10 in the hand

Yep, remove plate and remove pipes, replace with CAT's. Very easy on the Cerb compared to some cars.

No it was a private sale, I used Rob Ingleby to find the car as it happens though it was at Offords having its MOT done when I picked it up, they were very helpful (ask for Simon) they had some lovely examples in there.

Is that the one with the fat tail pipes and 17" alloys or was it the other one (there were three but mine was one of them, all the same colour and age).
