to my knowledge its only a slight difference in power and you will cover the cost of the conversion as lpg is cheaper so the more milage you do the cost of the conversion is covered

I was only thinking that the lower the RON the more likely Detonation or pre-ignition is, you may need to "de-tune" it a bit thus making it less fun when you do want to go for a burn. Taking a small step back can feel like a country mile when you're really used to something.

Seriously though, hat's off to you for doing it, you obviously really enjoy the car and want to find a way to use it all the time. It's not a route I'd consider but it doesn't mean I don't respect what you're doing. I didn't mean to come across like I was having a dig.

if your car is too loud i was told it was sign of an incorrectly adjusted volume control on the headunit

Hows your clutch then?

Clutch is going to be done in a couple of weeks when Den (HINT HINT) finds out if his old (new) one will fit.

It's booked into the body shop in 2 weeks time to have a complete revamp. It's looked a bit tatty for the past couple of years so time for a partial re-spray and a few extra goodies to be fitted.

Silviagod reckons my awful tyre wear on the rear is down to badly worn bushes. This may account for the noise coming from the rear too? Only problem is I don't know what the bushes are so if anyone could answer that dumb question then please do!

In about 3-4 weeks from now it's off to have the LPG conversion.
