yeah, having no cat will result in flames. as far as im aware.. when you come off the throttle quickly (for a gear change) the lack of air makes the engine run rich, the sensors in the exhaust detect this, and the ECU responds by putting in less fuel to make it run correctly again, but its got a bit...

I've got 95RON cack in mine at the moment, and its getting pretty poor fuel-economy.. might give 98RON a go next time, and whack a dosage of Redex in there too (just to give it a nice clean out.. ) and see how it goes, i'll let you know any results. not expecting the fuel-economy to rise dramaticall...

I looked at a Red one and it had that same Pink Spoiler too, :lol: but nowt that can't be fixed 8) as you have probably seen, my search has ended with a nice Silver one, but I did buy it 2 months before I was thinking of doing so didn't have 5k to play with, but these MX-3'...

I got her for £3050! original asking price was £3250, but the guy said he'd take money off if he took his ICE out, so I agreed! :) bargain, if you ask me.. I guess he wanted a quick sale! lol no, I spose it doesn't need a Slow-Lane rest.. temp gauge sat in the right place the whole journey, but I ju...

MX3 V6 - looking to maybe buy one, Advice?
Hi, just signed up :) and I recently started looking into buying my next car, and was thinking I wanted a Coupe sort of thing, preferably a small car and something that is primarly, 'fun' to drive... I Drove my mates Celica GT, loved it apart from its weight, and size.. very heavy car, and the long ...
