Scrap Metal

I remember seeing a post on one of the variations of maxxd over the past few years about CATS and people weiging them in and getting 50-60 quid for them

Where and who do this as i have a couple that are surpless to my requirements and rather than them sat in my shed id quite like a bit of cash!

Understeer: when you hit the wall with the front of the car.
Oversteer: when you hit the wall with the back of the car.
Horsepower: how fast you hit the wall.
Torque: how far you take the wall with you.

RE: Scrap Metal

no way dude is a scrapper gonna give u that much for a CAT.

RE: Scrap Metal

Its just something i remembered seeing

Maybe it wasnt quite that much

But to be fair if it was £20 that would be better in my pocket!

Plus there aint enough metal left on the punto..there is more on the cat Icon_wink

RE: Scrap Metal

There was a place near where I work that had a load of lorries or something that had their CATs stolen recently. They found used hacksaw blades everywhere. Apparently they do fetch good money at scrap metal places.

RE: Scrap Metal

Friendly neighbourhood Pikeys will usually be more than happy to take CATS of you for £15-£20. They do fetch very good money when sold to the right place as one of the catalysts used to coat the ceramic brick inside is platinum.

Yeah that's it mate, the metal itself is worthless, it's the rhodium, platinum and palladium inside that is worth the cash.
