dreed Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 If accepted, will be competing in Class A with List 1A tyres, car is registered with an 09 plate. Do I need a catalytic converter fitted, how strict is scrutineering. Have had a new exhaust fitted without one to reduce noise level. Dave Quote
peterg Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 Do I need a catalytic converter fitted yes, in theory you should how strict is scrutineering well, let's just say if a scrute asks if there is one you always say "yes" Quote
Mid life crisis Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 Think it depends on your defination of competing as opposed to participating. Look at it this way, you will be running a non compliant car in a competative series. If you were to do well against complient cars, the owners of which had invested time and money preparing their cars to meet the standards of the regs, you may find objections being tabled ??? My advice is don't win anything and you should have no problems Enjoy :yes: Quote

Terry Everall Posted February 4, 2012 Posted February 4, 2012 You are inlikely to be asked and I have never seen or heard of a check being done. many of us do run CATs but its becoming less common Quote
tim Posted February 4, 2012 Posted February 4, 2012 what is the problem steve, the lad is only asking for advice about the cat in a 09 car,. Quote
Mid life crisis Posted February 4, 2012 Posted February 4, 2012 No problem at all Tim. Dreed simply asked a question about runing an 09 car in the SS without a cat, clearley an 09 car under MSA regs should be fitted with a cat. Quote
Matt Seabrook Posted February 4, 2012 Posted February 4, 2012 Agreed if you plan to cheat then accept being caught if you are at the front. If you are happy to bring up the rear then you should get away with it. Quote
stewart pickles Posted February 5, 2012 Posted February 5, 2012 You are inlikely to be asked and I have never seen or heard of a check being done. many of us do run CATs but its becoming less common they do check now and again tel seen them do it with an Infrared thermometer on the exhaust system Quote
stephenh Posted February 5, 2012 Posted February 5, 2012 Everybody in class A is likely to see this thread, or most at least, so if you look like beating someone for a trophy they might get upset. Not me, I'm in a different class, and I do have a cat by the way, and can prove it. My silencer box is going blue where the cat is housed, and I've got Matt Simpson's invoice for the system. Quote
