Simon Waterfall Syman84 Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 Holy thread resurrection batman. As my car is 2002 registered and running in mod prod this weekend with the same scrutineer from Cat gate I have opted to do the same. Arrived this morning and fitted. Absolutely pointless £80 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stickymint Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 Better safe than sorry...... According to Mr Mansley he said i could have secured it to the roll cage after I had fitted mine and he would passed it as it was fitted to the car, just needed to be secure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingster Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 Just to confirm - they are following MOT rules for road going so that a Q reg doesn’t need a CAT right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Everall Posted May 13, 2021 Author Share Posted May 13, 2021 That is correct Chris. MSUK clarified that is some recent rule changes so that cars that did not need a CAT for IVA, SVA or MOT are exempt. For some ridiculous reason non road going are not exempt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry Everall Posted May 13, 2021 Author Share Posted May 13, 2021 ridiculous rule and serves no purpose at all at sprints Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark (smokey mow) Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 4 minutes ago, Terry Everall - WSCC Competition Secretary said: ridiculous rule and serves no purpose at all at sprints Surely it’s only ridiculous because of the way in which the cat is being installed? If the rule is applied by competitors in the manner in which it was intended then it would serve a purpose. personally I see this regulation as the thin end of the wedge. As the majority of production cars move closer to hybrid and electric drivetrains, the public will perceive our completion cars with combustion engines as noisy and polluting. Like it or not there will be pressure on MSUK in years to come to push through regulations that clean up the sport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the scrutineer had said no and the cat needed to be in the direct flow of the exhaust then we would all have to go away and have new sections of main exhaust made. The fact that @stickyminttried his luck a couple of year ago with one of these fault correction cats and had it positively endorced on his logbook is where it became farcical. So I agree that things are likely to get tighter around emissions when it comes to our weekend toys but msuk aren't doing themselves any favours in there rulings.
