Guest blueangel Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 :(well thought id be different with all the passes going on I failed on emmisions which i was expecting to be honest even thou i thought pre 94 wasnt subject to a cat test and also failed on headlight alignment seems i have left hand drive ones in lol so can sort that by buying new. How can i lower the emmisions thou guys would cleaning the oxygen sensors help out any or would putting in a first cat lower it enough. ric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian W Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 Depends on how much over the limit it was to be honest. You may get away with just replacing the o2 sensor (which you wouldn't need to change back) or alternatively go for the cat (second cat will be easier to put back in surely?)

scotty71 Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 I was told pre 94 only needed to be below 3% range at idle as there should be no data for imports on the MOT database Where did you take it ric? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny g Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 I'd go for the cat to be honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DodgyRog Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 Mine failed for emissions today as well. I was going to put the 2nd Cat back in, quick fix I thought, but the bolt rounded off, so Brendan is coming up to cut the bolt off tomorrow, but it means I couldn't get it back to the Mot place before they shut today and they are not open next Saturday. So I guess I will have to take a day off work to take it down Can you not just put a Cat in for the MOT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest blueangel Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 my second decat has the v-band on it to connect to the 4" hks pipework so the only un affected pipe is the first decat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XIL007 Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 my 93 aerotop has no cats and has passed the last mots no problems, if your cars got no cats give it a good run before the test to make sure its warm. Mine went down as a 93 import with no UK car to base the test on, so it went as a non cat test Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadeS Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 If you would like to swap your headlights I would be very happy as I'm in europe and need LHD ones Let me know if you would like to go forward with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abz Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 You not have any "friendly MOT" people who might be able to help. I took mine to a friend who has an MOT centre but he said it passed emissions anyway! 94' TT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DodgyRog Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 There are some sports Cats on Ebay, but if you do a search on here I am sure I remember a thread about them a while ago for this very reason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DodgyRog Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 (edited) Guess these would do the job, if moneys not an issue http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/STAINLESS-STEEL-FERRARI-355-SPORTS-CATS-TOP-QUALITY-/170616290031?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item27b985faef Is it not just a case of some major adjustments for the headlights, there is not a pattern on the lense as they are projection light surely Edited March 19, 2011 by DodgyRog (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 Many Supras have passed without any cats fitted, so it's likely that the oxygen sensor needs replacing. To ensure it will pass I'd fit a new O2 sensor and fit one of the cats back in for the MOT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 Was the car hot? Cold engines and cats aint the best thing for emissions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest blueangel Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 car was warm and ive just taken the o2 sensor out and its black so got it in lemon juice at the minute the car has only had a 4 mile run basically at idel in the last 4 years so could be pretty choked up.

DodgyRog Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 are you on double decat Rog? Yeah, and it passed on the first idle emission test, but failed on fast idle test and only just apparently. I am still getting good mpg, so don't think the O2 sensors are duff Not sure if the MOT guy was in a bit of a shitty today as he also pointed out the missing screw on the headlight, I told him I would put a cable tie in it for the re test:rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
