is a 51plate impreza sti likely to pass an emissions test with no cat?

[kevski_80]

Up until now ive used the same guy for my mot, who is obviously a lenient chap. However i cant get hold of him this year.

Is a 51plate impreza wrx sti with around 40k on the clock likely to get through the emissions test without the cat?

Or can anyone recommend a guy with similar lenient qualities in the southampton area?

Any help will be appreciated.

Simple answer. No.

There are quite a few guys down your way. Hopefully they pop up here and you can have a chat about an mot.

That would be a NO! Unfortunately any car fitted with a cat converter after 1994 or 1995 can't remember which needs it by law to pass emissions

[kevski_80]

Ah well. Thanks for the help anyway. Think ive found a guy

I'm sure there will be someone down your way that is lenient, it's just finding him. have you got any 'local' modified forums?

 

I doubt you are the only person in your area that needs a lenient MOT station.

 

as long as everything else is safe and legal, I can't see the problem.

Thats a good shout. If things dont pan out i will go down that route. Cheers
