SUPRA4EVA Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 Time to MOT my Supra, this will the first one for me. It's a Stock UK Spec w/a full Tanabe Medallion Touring - Deacat. Can't find a friendly MOT tester...but a local Mechanic I know was able to get a pretest for me, as we got the car up on ramps (when he had a spare five) and he said it's worth a try...anyway the car failed, obviously as it was tested as post Aug 1992 UK car... Luckily I have the full stock system (just have to dig it out) but have VERY limited space to work in if any at all. Is it possible to throw in one of the CATs temp, to pass? The Stock exhaust flanges use spiral gaskets, not sure what the Tanabe uses...hopefully they are compatible PS: why does the Supra have 2 CATs anyway? I own a Diesel...so yeah! And another import JDM car and never have to deal with CATs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David P Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 Fit the second cat and it'll pass, you can un-fit it when you get home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 Yep, 2nd cat. Four nuts and bolts, 2 gaskets and it's done. Or use exhaust assembly paste on the old gaskets unless they fall to bits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 Diff? I thought it was a Cromwellian canon ball.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUPRA4EVA Posted April 10, 2016 Author Share Posted April 10, 2016 Waxoyl your diff whilst your under there. Ha ha, good spot! I'm def a fan of Tetraseal and this is the first time I had the car raised. So I will beg to maybe borrow the lift for a little bit to seal it. Can't believe where the fuel filter is! And if anyone noticed my Getrag is leaking... Thanks guys, I'll dig the 2nd cat out and replace it. Wish me luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David P Posted April 10, 2016 Share Posted April 10, 2016 That's why it's not as corroded as your diff. Underparts need love too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
