Stick with petrol/lpg or admit defeat and go diesel?

A bit of wheel cleaner and some scotchbrite that'll shine up nicely! Not so sure about the lpg install though...what that needs is a proper dual map conversion :wink:
(big power resistors needed on low-impedance 3 ohm lpg injectors, to keep the ecu happy, apparently)
Awww crap...I really like the idea of that. I wonder if the 2.6 crank will go in it :pimp

Good point Elvis! Someone signed that installation off (or maybe it never was?)

Interesting read - I`m a complete newbie to all things 4wheels, my last ride was a rip snorting 1200 bandit
I`m running a 1.6td putting out about `quicker to walk` and smoking like a rasta so I`m looking to improve performance.
As it seems to be the engine toujour - fitted to just about everything including a twin turbo one in a mini... I`m wondering if anybody has tried fitting a GSX1330R Hayabusa engine to one of t3?
And as an aside mentioned a few times in threads is `claiming the vat back` what is that about? It would be nice to get something back of the leeches :shady
Regular naps prevent old age..... especially if you take them while driving.

M'bike engines in very light small cars and specials is ok but they aren't going to like trying to push 2000kg of brick along with a lot of rolling resistance, when originally designed for a load of around 300kg (?) and only two tyres.
Forget it, it's not an option just like Mazda rotaries...all revs, no torque.
P.S. We don't talk about I.R. and fuel tax "recovery" through totally legitimate business expenditure now, do we...
