Re: Gtech IS pretty accurate,within 2/10ths... see (archive)

You could replace the cat with what is referred to as a "hollow cat" (essentially a resonator that looks like a cat), which will get you past a visual inspection. However, if in your area they run the treadmill test for emissions you'll find it next to impossible to pass without the cat. If they do the tailpipe sniffer test you could tune the car to pass.

Running 15s with that car is QUITE respectable! I like your new bumper. How'd ya' do it? Also, I see that the ///M is properly placed now!

Your trap speed does seem a bit high for a mid-15 second run, but I have seen higher/longer times, depending how the car launched. What was your 60 foot time?

You are running quicker than original spec for that vehicle, and only 1 second or so behind my '85 Euro M6!

Imagine what a turbo would do for your ET!

I have a transport source book that i got from BOOKSPEED in the UK. There is an article that has some figures in it on the euro 635CSI. It states a 0 to 60 time of 7.6 seconds and a standing 1/4 in 15.8 seconds. I have only looked at this article since you asked me what the stock time is. I got quite close eh!!!!! As for the front bumper, I got a mould of a M6 euro bar and made one out of fibre glass. I then MOULDED it to my original steel upper bar. As for the turbo I WISH. With a right hand drive car you have trouble putting the turbo someware. I dont know my 60 ft time sorry.

Question: You say you removed the CAT, is this legal with all the environment controls? I would like to do the same to my 1987 635 CSI but I fear the inspection Nazis would not care for it. I am in Atlanta, GA.
Please advise
