'R' reg Vitara and 'X reg Swift... need a cat for MOT?

[SystemParanoia]

Both these cars of mine use a very a similar Single point injection setup through a carb looking thing.

i was just wondering though.. with the age of them, do they need a cat to pass the MOT? and if i were to remove all the injection and convert to carbs would it still be able to pass the MOT emmissions ?

If they left the factory with a cat, then it needs to be present for the mot.

aww.. i was hopeful that wasnt the case..

i know that the s13 200sx can remove the cat and still pass the mot.


guess ill have to get a de-cat pipe and replace it every year. stop it rusting any more as i dont realy fancy spending £000's on replacing an exhaust restriction i dont want.


thanks for your help tho
