I was hoping to avoid the added expense and hole-trimming hassle of changing the primaries to 4-2-1 but it's beginning to sound like that might be the easier off-the-shelf solution without resorting to custom-made kinks etc James - thanks for the offer, I might take you up on that. I haven't had chance to speak to Powerspeed yet - is it a case of taking the car down there for bespoke fitting or can it be done remotely / by post?

Should've said, I can't find any reference to a K-series competition exhaust + cat combination in the archives - I did try!

Hi all I'm looking for some guidance through the bewildering array of exhaust setups and some recommendations on replacing my existing silencer with a cat + silencer combo. I have an original 1.6K Superlight with the competition/race 4-1 primaries, no cat and a 5" silencer which needs replacing. As the car is a 2002 model, I do also need a cat for MOT time and at this stage I'm happy to run with it all year as the car for is road-use only. There was a cat on the car at some point in its history but not when I bought it. The other concern is ground-clearance - a previous owner swapped to a 5" silencer because of grounding on hard right cornering, and would ideally like to keep the current clearance as I only have mms to spare when exiting my drive and negotiating the plethora of speed humps around here. I was interested in the Meteor Motorsport cat-in-the-can solutions but sadly they are no longer supplying them. I'd be grateful for any BC wisdom on the subject for a mechanical novice... thanks Paul

Canisters and bags arrived safely - thanks Jonathan :-) Awaiting fitment now....

Also paid in full. Thanks Paul

PM sent - thanks Jonathan Paul C

Briefly spotted in the centre of Headingley on Saturday afternoon (Mar 14) heading towards the Skyrack...

Mine came today too, and I must have been one of the later orders as I only ordered mid-Jan Brown leather strap too - fantastic watch, absolutely loving it Many thanks to those that made this happen

I've given in and ordered one. Haven't told SWMBO yet as I only bought a bew watch in November...

Order updated to 2x canisters and 2x red bags please thanks Paul

Quoting Roger Ford: The MM one is a great lightweight jack - ideal for transporting to race meetings or track days. The Arcan looks like it might be a better garage jack - it's quick-lift and goes significantly higher (508mm vs 375mm). More money, though. The height gain is significant, and for the sake of an extra £30-40 quid over the long term, plus the extra lift capacity, that's why I went for it. It's pretty big though; agree that the MM one would be better for mobile/track use unless you've got a full support van!

Go on then, I'll take two as well

Search ebay for an Arcan 2T (1.8 UK) Professional jack for around 140-150 quid. Brilliant piece of kit and big enough for your average tiptop too here

Quoting makingff: I would definitely be interested. I have been looking at Christopher Ward watches recently so this would be a good excuse to buy one! Me too - perfect timing (pun not really intended ). Have been admiring the C7 Rapide II from the CW website. Prefer the face of the top image but like others I also like the grey on black subtlety of the second.... Survey done.
