please think im being funny here ... but for the cost of getting the injectors serviced you could fit a single point LPG kit and only use petrol as a reserve like i do .... all the parts are avalible on ebay used or new ... you will not notice a drop in performance and its less than 70p a litre at ...

My old man used to do all his "homers" during the day, he worked at ERA in dunstable - the foreman was always trying to catch him at it. He was welding a cylinder head up once and noticed footsteps coming round the bottom of the wall - so without stopping he swapped the cylinder head for something m...

I had Garrett T3's on mine ( Cossie type) and they were Goldilocks. T25's may limit the top end gas flow but lag will probably not be a problem. Which Cossie type mate, Two door Cossie ( T3-55) Saphir Cossie ( T3-60 ) Escort Cossie T3-4 or later Escort Cossie T25 ?? I'm running a pair of Genuine T3...

I get my leads made up by performance leads, who seem to have changed their name to FLA manufacturing. http://www.fla-manufacturing.com/products/index Originally had some made about 10 years ago and i've bought a new set from them last summer.

Looks good. My only comment is that the E30 'box will be set to change up at at least 6000RPM under full throttle. The V8 will struggle to get to that, so you might end up having to change the governor to bring the shift point down a bit. But I only speak from hearsay as I've never tried it. Chris....

I would want to know that they are all flowing the same, so I would get...
