De-cat problems

[Matt Nova]

De-cat problems I de-catted my 1.2i the other day and now it seems to have running problems. I've been told its because of lack of back pressure any ideas I can do to solve this? cheers

i dont see how this could cause problems, i did it 2 mine and it was fine r sure the exhaust isnt blowin and that just the noise, i'll give u a tip the 1.2i engine is a bag of crap, everytime i do a mod 2 mine sommat throws a wobbler, mines off the road at the moment cos its gettin no fuel.

[Matt Nova]

i know the 1.2i is crap 44bhp for gods sake! less than a 1.0 litre :cry: i'm thinkin of sellin it for a black sri or get a civic 1.5lsi :)

[m.d.]

go for the sri not a rice boy civic

[nova_172]

i'd stik with wat u got 4 the time being,theres no point in changin ur car, especially if its ur first car jus build up ur no claims.

[Matt Nova]

insured under a named driver anyway so not building up no claims

[burgo]

[Matt Nova]

cambridge comes out with a lot of random comments, it's best just to write LOL as we don't want to upset him.

Although some are understandable and actually really funny, worth the LOL.

P.S. I think you need to turn the BBcode on to do quotes.

fronting is where you get the car insured under a parent and you are a "named" driver which means your only supposed to use the car for no more than 3 days a week (or so)

anymore and you are the main driver. therefore your being an illegal runt lol


just take the hit and pay for your your own insurance on yourself to get the no claims built up blah blah blah

[Ste_Nova]

civic 1.5lsi :)

overrated jap shite

try an ecu reset on your nova

[Matt Nova]

the insurance i'm with at the mo (CIS) is any driver no one is named and I would pay fir it myself if I could afford it. That'll have to wait to I get a proper job tho :x
