A bit small though. Need something that can do 110litres. Figure the tyre warmers will go around the tank and can set them to say 70 deg C, which should be fine as it'd get hotter than that in the boot during the Adelaide summer. As I said, it may be in the too hard basket as they draw a fair bit of power. Anyway, there's not going to be any real progress until around ANZAC day as I am going to be in Melbourne for the next few months with work. Unless someone wants to lend me a garage, car trailer and dyno..... Your shout when I'm there too Steve. Also why would you want a VLT on the road when you have these to play with. She has beer...get the hint Steve...a man's not a camel. . Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

hey mate im curious as to where you got the cradle for your second tank? as im sure this will be the route i take when i fit my second converter. also how is the filler setup arranged? is it kinda just T pieced at the first tank?

Cradle - I didn't do anything illegal and modify a standard one by welding and cutting it. Fillers - Haven't got that far yet, I do know it is not a simple case of putting in a T though, I have some research on paper at home, but I'm in Melbourne atm. Was contemplating having the 2 fillers under the flap, but that would be annoying.

yeh i wasnt implying that you had done anything illegal and i know that its illegal to mod the cradle but not the actual mounting bracket, so was just curious to see what youd done, but i could the cradle was orig made to sit on a flat surface like that? sorry for all the questions n **** lol just that your gas setup will be very similar to mine

As I said, I didn't do anything illegal and modify a standard one by cutting it and welding new brackets to it.... A good option for the flat floor would be a ute cradle. The one in my daily would be perfect, it would just be a case of putting it inside rather than hanging underneath.

Absolutley nothing happening except for the car getting dusty in Adelaide whilst I am in Melbourne waiting for Steve to buy me a beer. It's bloody lucky that I am patient.

C'mon Steve, a man's not a camel....

Getting very very thirsty

Update?

Just got it in the new garage. Fiddle-****ing around with minor stuff at the moment, like heat shields, interior wiring and generally making stuff fit where I want it and trying to remember where the hell I am up to......also waiting on my gas guy to come over to pre-inspect the setup, that way the gas can be installed in 10 mins when the time comes. She'll still be a ways off as I am pretty flat out with work, hate going into the shed when it's cold and am as poor as 10 poor things atm.

Motivation is still at an all time low. I've done nothing but walk past it and occasionally draw a smiley face in the dust on the windscreen. I'll finish it off one day, just wish I hadn't left the fiddly stuff (mostly interior wiring, alarm/immobiliser r & r, cruise control removal, install of shift light etc...) till last as that is basically all that is left apart from the hooking up of the gas lines and a tune. Have chased up a very straight bonnet and a rear window with working demister in the interim though....Bloody thing will need a respray by the time I finally get it on the road. I have rebuilt an old computer to tune it and have constructed a base map that "should" start it, time will tell.

hmm cmon! get cracking its a great story and it will be a hell of a car once finished. you must have a lot of smiley faces on the windscreen by now

fcuk i forgot about this thread cmon man get back into this i really wanna see it finished

I'm still alive, the car still hasn't been seriously worked on since late 2007. 2009 is looking too busy to do anything, but time will tell. Have to get the tanks tested now as well...it's going backwards. But I did wash it a month or so ago......

do some shit too it lol, you won too much awesome stuff to just leave her sitting there!

....still nothing? Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Still nothing... as busy as a one armed brick layer in Baghdad. On the bright side have tracked down all of the parts to finish it off, even got a good MX7 starter motor...that only took 18months+ to find and some factory hubbies ($5 each at the local wreckers 1 at a time over the same period). Also found a guy with NOS oil drain hoses so I grabbed a couple of those. Motivation is returning so I am going to take the tanks out to get tested, they had over 2 years on them when I bought them. I also have to move the converters (again)....apparently can't get complied where they are so cold side off again too I suppose. This will happen when I get some time in the next couple of months. (Still away a lot heading OS for 5 weeks on Tuesday). Actually picking up my back seats from a mates place today...they have only been there since October 07......may also crack out the soldering iron and finish off the interior wiring...if I can be arsed...will prob last until the first glob of solder lands on me whilst I am lying upside down with my head under the dash...... Need to wash it again so I put a motivational quote on the rear window to help get me going.....

Have you got anyone in mind that is going to tune it when it is finally completed?

I'll probably do it myself to get it drive-able on n/a then apply low boost (15psi). I have tuned many many gas cars and have the laptop with the software for the ecu.... have some base settings to work from so what can possibly go wrong?? (apart from ring lands, rods, head gasket etc) After that I will most likely drive it to Melbourne and start winding the boost up (past 15) and fiddling the map for the Alcohol injection, that is unless I can find someone local that will let ME play on their dyno at around the cost of 200litres of gas for a day.

Sounds good mate. I know LPG tuners in adelaide are far and wide inbetween..
