    don't throw all the insides of the cat away. take it to a metal recycling place (not a scrap yard) and tell them that you took it out of your car you might get some money for it. cat are full of expensive metals.

    Ah, good result. Boosting problem solved and probably a faster smoother car as well, all as a result of decating the car

    Very pleased...not sure entirely yet. Slag? Mmm, I was dead set on it but everytime I see that white S70R Replica I think about how mine could look.

    Unfortunately I binned the lot, I know its mainly titanium but there was probably less than a kilo.

    Yes much smoother, not really had a chance to run it properly yet but the time will come

    I have to admit the idea of a white R does sound nice and the picture of it looks even better

    I agree, as much as I am all up for the BTCC S70 replica I think I'd prefer to see an S70R in white. Plus the BTCC car has already been done before here in the UK, the white S70R however I have yet to see here in the UK, perhaps you could be the first Emlyn

    I would without doubt prefer to go down the route of white S70R, the car however needs a full re-spray and complete interior

    I think the sheer expense of these two items alone puts me off.

    Id assume the standard 40mm, and the wheels are 18".

    Not that many BTCC cars about, though, I do see one very often!

    To be fair anything regarding cars is expensive, but I understand where your coming from...

    Yes mate identical infact to yours bar the S70 characters.

    Your right however, I need to decide. If I can get an S70R interior then ill probably go for it and pay the £500 or whatever for a re-spray.

    Really however I need to see how it fairs at MOT and what it will need.
