they've been saying this for sometime now - seeing is believing

search the forums - and check the dates of the threads - you'll realize that we've worried our heads and debated over this many time over when ever we've been reminded by the media :mellow:

nope its all there

Twin CAT's - just hope the work well enough... afterall , the car is 12 years old now! :mellow:

Just as an FYI folks- having a cat does not guarantee you'll pass the emissions test...as its based on CO2 emissions. The older the car, the less likely its got a clean system. Cats also deteriorate and lose effectiveness over time.

Add the fact that our petrol is full of impurities, and i doubt we'll actually have many cars passing.

I suppose the litmus test will be when the first set of vehicles go for inspection next month.

...yeah we'll just have to wait n see...

and besides , if only the worst 5% or there about are said to be likely to fail,i'm guessing the stardards are pretty low to begin with...

anyways lets see how things go..&if they ever actually get down to testing in reality..

as they say "Talk is cheap" :lol:
