197 conversion thread

aint gonna happen mate..been waiting for months and ended up getting a brand new one for this price..
but good luck..
 
OK so about to order a decat down pipe. thought occurred, I guess have to have a cat somewhere to pass mot, so which is better option? sports cat downpipe or decat pipe and cat instead of silencer
 
pretty sure the car will pass its mot as all the other guys have used exactly the same parts and never had any problems....
 
OK I'm having serious thoughts on not doing this now. I bought Clio as a third car but I haven't driven it in a week. done a thousand miles in last ten weeks. so thinking maybe better off making it better as it is IE b14 s etc. only nagging thing in my mind is gearbox needs replacing so half way to doing conversion anyway .
