ryanmac 0 Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 Hi allI have two questions regarding the above. I am thinking about fitting a decat pipe and raceland manifold but since my car is going in for it's mot soon will it require the cat? Its a K plate 1992 car.Also I plan on welding and polybushing my front wishbones and just happen to have a set of mk3 2l 8v golf gti ones lying about. Would these fit?Cheers ryan Link to post Share on other sites
bungy 2 Posted May 25, 2011 Report Share Posted May 25, 2011 What is it you are going to weld on your wishbones? Link to post Share on other sites

ryanmac 0 Posted May 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 cheers for that. I will wait till it gets through its mot before I do anything. All I am going to weld on the wishbones is along the join between the upper and lower parts. I did it to my mk1 along with polybushing to make the front end stiffer. That along with the upper and lower strut braces I have made should stiffen the front end up nicely.Ryan Link to post Share on other sites
Vw_owner 1 Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 fairly sure adding more welds on the wishbones wont make a slight bit of difference,they just go up and down, Link to post Share on other sites
ryanmac 0 Posted June 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 Wishbones are spot welded together(or they were on my mk1) by seam welding them it stiffens them because although they only travel up and down they still have flex in them Link to post Share on other sites
