well, an emissions test will decide.... but surely you mot'd it after the engine swap???

[colebag]

no havnt had a mot on it yet.do they do an emissions test on the older cars cant rember or is it just a co2 reading

Yes you will need one mate the engines designed to have one fitted you may have to extend the wire down the back of the engine though and weld a lambda thread into the back of the manifold as thats what i had to do to mine when i fitted a 4-branch to my 1.2spi.

[mowgli]

the engine was redesigned in a hurry cos of emissions law to have one fitted....

as for the cat, it depends on the mot man
