    And hello!
    When I bought this car, it came with the dual fuel system.
    Still runs on premium fuel at car shows and when I start it.
    Gets 600-700km out of the 50L gas tank. Pretty amazing for this little sports car.
    Done just over 200***km and still running pretty. Only a custom cooler intake and the exhaust.
    Soon to convert her from auto to manual and maybe do an engine swap in a few more months.
    Lowing it soon with the coil overs, and new 17-18" rims.
    But would love suggestions for some nice looking rims :)

    Have you got any more pictures or technical information on the gas setup? I'm just curious about it :D

    I don't know too much about the gas conversion in my car.
    But, I know it has a computer hooked up to it so if anything is failing in the system they can plug it into a laptop and check everything for me.

          Boot space is horrible. Takes up entire spare tyre compartment. :silent:
          Isn't so great for shopping, but back seats will do. :P

            It's literally sitting on top of it, wasting space.
            Upgrading my RAC road assistants soon, if I ever have a flat tyre they can just tow me home instead. Get what I pay for. ;P
