Default Mk3 Fiesta - Power / Cat

Right.
Ive read that my year of Fiesta Mk3 has 49bhp and earlier models 59bhp. I was wondering if the Cat was restricting the power as the earlyier ones might of been de-cat models.

If not, how much power does my cat hold back?

Thanks.

Oh, ok. Thanks for that info

What will taking my air box off and putting small holed netting (tights) over the carb do performance wise?

dont, just dont! you will gain a lot of piss taking! in all honesty dont do anything to your engine as nothing will give it any real gain. Wait until you get a different car.
