G-NEMIE Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 OK Now Im Worried Just been reading http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=98224 regarding ALL MK IV SUPRA's need at least 1 cat in to pass the MOT now. Any model, any age from chassis number 0000001 onwards. It seems that at some point recently, vosa/dvla have updated their computers and you now need a CO2 reading below 0.2 to pass. Toyota Supra 3ltr TT J-Spec GZ My Car I BPU with "Chris Wilson" Double Decat My MOT is next thursday (8th FEB) 1. Does anyone have any idea if you can change 1 cat back or do you have to do both ? 2. Does any one have a 2nd Cat (or the two depending on the answer of number question number 1). on the last MOT (pre decats) the readings were Co2 0.115 (Fast Idle) & Co2 0.071 (Natural Idle) so now with the cats out Hmm? Of Couse I Just need to Borrow, and will collect and return ASAP. midlands area, etc as i live in shropshire not far from Chris Wilson Chris W if your reading, do you know if you have the 2nd cat (cornelius seems to think you would keep hold of it)? what would you suggest ? cheers jamie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 ALL MK IV SUPRA's need at least 1 cat in to pass the MOT now. They don't check for a cat as part of the MoT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrickTT Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 You should pass with just one cat (catalytic convertor - Jake) in, but i'll let you know later today after mine gos in for retest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrickTT Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 If the cats good, it should pass no problems, but it helps if they do the emissions test first while the cat it still hot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G-NEMIE Posted February 8, 2007 Author Share Posted February 8, 2007 :ecstatic: :ecstatic: :ecstatic: PASSED Need to get the Decat back on NOW`! Emissions test is based different category depending on age of car, and not if its j-spec or uk spec, there all the same . so based on being 1993 it was tested as if it should have a cat on. RESULTS : FAST IDLE maximum C0 0.20% vol Actual 0.05 % vol NATURAL IDLE maximum C0 0.30% vol Actual 0.19% vol oh and needed new number plates as the Spacing was wrong. ta jamie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
