[doc] Re: Removing the CAT

["blackaddertoo" <blackaddertoo@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Paul

As far as i am aware, any original trailing arm bolts should be 
replaced by the modern stronger replacement.

i will do mine as soon as i have the MOT.

i think removal of the CAT in theory should give a power increase, 
however i seem to recall an article in the DOC mag where a car was 
tested before/after and not really that much difference found.

Regards

Steve
