Got the LPG done by ezygas. cost me $4350 (but you get $1750 back from the government which I am still waiting for).I wasn't really worried about loss of power on gas, cos I run on LPG when I want economy and just switch to petrol when I want power. I looked at a mob called alternative fuel innovations - they had a dual fuel typhoon at the melb motor show showing power and torque curves - only 3% loss in power!! But they wanted over 5 grand to convert.I haven't really run it on LPG much to know power or economy figures. I'm going to run the engine on premium unleaded for the first 3000k's first to make sure its properly run in first.Hey I'm new to this whole forum thing.. should I have started a new thread for my intro? or tacked onto one like I have?

Do you reckon this has anything to do with the tint?Geoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine works fine with metallic tint, guy who did my tint said many tinters mess it up - scrub it back with abrasive material to the aerial which then messes with reception...

KeepLeft Member 240 Member For: 15y 5m Gender: Male Posted 24/07/09 01:14 PM Share Posted 24/07/09 01:14 PM Some metallic tints can stuff up FM reception. The dealer tint isn't meant to though. I have the security tint and my reception is fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But generally only the limo tint (5%) is metallic... I've got the 17% on mine and radio reception is still fine.Dare I ask how much the fraud dealer stung you for tint? When I bought mine they wanted to charge me $600!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I asked him a question ages ago and have had no response so don't know if he cruises these parts, I believe the cluster is from FTG and once in will need Ford to flash it for it to work;http://www.ftgautosalvage.com.au Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
