The owner did his own car and it's ran flawlessly for the past 6 or so months His number's 9471 1500.Give Rod a call and tell him Dean gave you his number. He'll look after you if you decide to take the gas path Thanks for posting this info,the number listed in the post, is it the number of Gas Power or of the chap who got the work done to his car.I sent a query to gaspower online and they said they cannot do XR6T Gas conversionsThanks againT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said that Rod did his own work and according to Jamie he had lots of problems with it *shrugs*So is there anyone else in Perth who can do this conversion??CheersT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
