Yeah, I know it will be loud.....hopefully not excessively loud though.

Yeah will get full system from extractors > high flow cats > twin system 3" for future proofing for cam etc

Well the mechanics that did the job for me were one of SA's leading LPG specialists so it was easy as piss for them to remove....and it was easier for them to fit the new engine and plumb it all in without the LPG there so it was a win win I suppose

Apparently part of the reason the old motor detonated was due to the fact that the LPG system that was installed by the previous owner was too small and couldn't keep up enough fuel delivery for a V8, hence it leaned out the back cylinders too far.....so I was very happy to see the system gone (loving the size of the stato boot now :p)


Took a very aweful phone pic last night while I was out and about but car is starting to look better, removed factory pin striping and finished polishing.

I have always done it by hand, takes the whole day to do it properly but worth it......always wanted a buffer but never seem to get around to buying one

Needs some mods

Lol once I have finished paying for the engine, mechanics, bushes, suspension etc then I will start on stuff like that, but besides wheels etc it's gonna look pretty factory
