Please be quiet and listen, there is no 1.2 12v and you did not do 120

hes telling the truth - 1.0 12v (4 valves per cylinder = 3 cylinders)
- 1.2 16v (4 valves per cylinder = 4 cylinders)
and the cat is in the down pipe, so HOW did you decat it?

ok so i cant convince you lot on here maybe some time ill see you lot; but the point of this post was to inform others on here that if you have a 1ltr de-catting it will produce real results for very little money!

The cat is close coupled anyway so its not very restrictive to start out with.

The speed was down hill your 1.6's can do 118 on the flat, but anyhow I think that changing my cat has made a difference. Another 2 yrs and ill have my 3ltr in there; lol! Q you have v6 Brakes Dean_W what do i need apart from calipers and the holders?(for an upgrade)

You need the calipers, discs, and hangers. That's it. It's an easy swap. 30 minute job.
