Removed first CAT and refitted DE-CAT pipe

[Markie]

Earier this evening got in from doing this horrible job.. Somedays I wish I had one of them garage lifts..

 

Went in nice ans clean, came out looking like I had just done a days work down the coal mine!

 

Awful time at the start, could not put the axle stands on full height, so I had to get under the car with the bottom of the engine and the transmission right in front of my face! I was very scared at first as I was thinking to myself "Shit if something breaks now and this falls, I am in the s*it"

 

Thankfully thought, the misses came to see me in the garage. She was re-assuring me and saying I was OK. Then stayed until I have finished the job, passing me tools etc.. Awwww, arnt they good, little lovelys they are..!

 

Anyways, job has been done. I don't recommend someone doing this unless they have got a nice garage lift, as it does makes life so hard!

 

So, how much are them lifts?

Anything from a couple of hundred quid for an old one to 10K plus for a big wheels free 4 poster brand new with warranty. Most are 3 phase though. Problem is most places don't have an outbuilding with enough roof height for on, and neighbours tend to whine about an outside one. Until they need something doing on the cheap of course...

My friend has a 2 pillar lift, in his 6 car 2 story garage, which is almost bigger than his house. But it's full of old Jag's and other junk. So had to pay to have my first de-cat done, cost a few quid not bad, and no hastle.

I have often wondered about these ramps you get on forecourts and showrooms, they get the car up high enough to work on and look like a mechano set, so can be dismantled and stored away. Probably not cheap though.
