Try your local scrap yard/breakers, while your there just ask how much they'll give you for the cat Sorry I didn't realise the mid section from an older model would fit.

The first real job i done on a car was a head gasket on a 1.4 8v astra, it was mid winter, blowing a good'n and i had to get it done because i needed the car for work, i just used a workshop manual and my ol mans tools, took me 2 days to do it, when i needed parts i had to cycle 5 miles up the...

FBH = F'kin Big Hammer You say crude but what is a decat, a pipe without the guts, so why not just degut the original cat, doesnt cost anything then (unless your handy with electric glue and then sell the cat as some places will give you a decent amount for them with all the precious metals) I...

Check you havent got any loose bolts around the suspension area, including the the top of the struts Shane

Is there a manual release in the car, it'll be near the drivers seat somewhere. Another thing to try is go in throught the back seats, i've heard its a bit tight but you can use something long to open the catch from the inside Shane

Most of what i know is from forums and experienced mates. best way to start is do a service to you car (oil change, oil filter change, air filter, plugs etc) Get a haynes/workshop manual for your car Like Yugguy said get a decent set of tools, you'll only need the basics to start with...

It all comes down to how much your going to come out with the dimmer kit, if you come out to far with a spacer you'll start eating bearings and bushes Shane

I've used snow foam a few times, i use Karchers own lance (which isnt brilliant). But as said previous its good for getting rid of the main dirt and grime. Get a small bottle from ebay and give it a go hth Shane
