Grrrrrrr can't get damn cat out..... it's held in well with studs + bolts. Got the bolts off but the studs it seems are welded to / are a part of the cat.

Any tips?

Do I have to remove the whole back section of the exhaust to get the cat out? I think I just realised this to be true :P

just work with the wiggle room

exhaust is on hangers, should be able to move it back a bit to get the cat out

its a c*nt of a job on my car, thats why i decided i wasnt going to swap the decat pipe in every track day after doing it once

LOL, found dad's old paperwork for the ride on:

He bought it second hand in 1994, and it was old then:

'twas an 8HP apparently (I thought it was less) but that engine blew up.

He bought the new 10.5HP engine in 1998, at the time it was the biggest one we could get that fit:

I'm not sure how old the mower itself is exactly but I did find the instruction book:

If you look down the bottom, you can note the SIX DIGIT phone number.

Now I remember going from 7 to 8 digits some time in primary school, but 6?

Some quick research, and this very informative page tells me that "Brisbane went to 7 digits in 1975". Therefore, we can conclude that the beast is older than 1975. Thats 35+ years!

And note: it is a mini tractor, not a ride on :P. EEESSSSSSS AAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Look, you can (could) even get tractor attachments for it:

Definitely needs turbo love

Don't talk to me about ride on trailers, made that mistake once, hung over after new years, we decided to ride in the trailer to clean up the mess we made couldn't find the holding pin to keep it on, going down the hill very fast and the trailer popped off, catapult anyone?

bugger

we could MAKE a trailer for it

matter of fact, there is a small box trailer in the back yard I doubt has any chance of ever getting road registered. Could convert it to a tractor trailer

    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn 
    • Sounds good, we will aim to be there! @The Bogan I'll give you a shout if you are heading up to campbelltown for the meet too.
    • Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.
    • Nah that is just crappy GPS mapping, I did have a small excursion (cold tyres, damp track, surprise!), will post up that when I get a chance.
    • So 10/10 times that code is coil packs? I mean if that's the case ill drop the $400USD or so to replace them. I didn't know these cars threw codes before the issue became an issue.
