    Catalytic converter question for the automotive guys

    I thought about doing something similar here in Puerto Rico, but the Cat is part of the exhaust manifold. Cutting it out would be pretty tricky. and I like having a functioning CEL. I could put an O2 spacer in that might help that.

    Catalytic converter question for the automotive guys

    thats exactly what I was hoping to hear. I have no problem replacing the cat. I drove it with the misfire knowing I might be doing damage but didn't have a choice. I would just rather spend 200 bucks for the non-CARB cat than 500-600 for a CARB compliant version.

    Limington ME

    I like it there. The runway surface (as of Jan or feb) was a bit rough but not to the point where it is a problem. Just a little bumpier than it could be. The wind over the trees makes short final a little interesting, but it’s managable. The restaurant on the field is decent.

    This is just wild.!

    Could be both. The buses I used to drive had 4 buttons, in a square around my left foot. Left and right turn signal, high beams, and microphone PTT. I was definitely thinking he could use a PTT somewhere. some tough driving for only one hand!
