New CAT, what else?

Post by Clarky9 »

So Ive just ordered my new cat for my rx8 from mazda rotary parts.
But do i need to anything else? ie ignition coils?
Ive never had a problem with it starting so im not sure if they need replacing.
Any suggestions?

Cheers Matt

If the cat has gone the coils are probably gone too, take them off and check for white marks.
