    E10 petrol

    When I had my AU S1 Duel fuel I used to put 98 in.... I would run on LPG 99% of the time (did start on petrol) then every 2 month run the petrol down and chuck another 20-30 bucks in.... Never had any issues.... On long trips I only filled to half tank just in case I needed it

    Straight gas bogging down on acceleration

    Got pics of the setup... that may help.... May be rich or lean if its bogging down, A Dyno run may help check afr's where it bogs down... Vaccuum leaks may be another possible cause also.

    Issues with EFi crossy

    Always the way tho.... I am lucky as I have spares for mine and against the wife insistance will not part with my spare running gear for just this reason... Its nice to know if anything does happen I have a backup plan... I know when the FG trans shit itself that seriously hurt the wallet (lucky its only a 4sp not the 6sp)

    Issues with EFi crossy

    I would do a compression test... one when its cold and another when its at temp..... As you know things warm up and expand under heat.....

    Sanding /polishing fe Wheels

    Get one of those polishing kits from Bunnings/Supercheap.... Attaches to the drill and comes with a course wheel and compound and fine wheel and compound. The Jelly beans I did had been sitting outside for years and they came up a treat. Not a great pic but came up OK

    changing gas converter

    If you did the whole loom into the car, then the plugs should be there to put the sensors in... just need to change the front hubs. Not sure on the rear wether the tone wheels are on the axle or not....

    changing gas converter

    Make sure when you reconnect the LPG lines they are leak free.... Put some dish washing detergent in a spray bottle with some water and spray on the connections you have done... if it leaks it will bubble.

    Are these wheels a factory option on my car?

    These are called Bathurst and were made by Globe (now Mullins Wheels) here in Adelaide... I believe Performance Wheels also made a similar wheel as well

    My diff only has 200,000 on it, has not been abused, still tight (still gives that LSD tyre squeel around tight turns) so hesitant to change it just yet...

    May have to keep an eye out for a 2.92 LSD.....

    BORG WARNER GEARS

    My ZL has the lazy 2.77 LSD... So perfect cruise down the highway car, It holds its own round the burbs but a bit more punch off the line would be nice.. Thinking a 2.92 maybe the choice as it has the best of both worlds I guess.... I want to keep the car resonabley stock as possible due to funds but would like a bit more punch...

    BORG WARNER GEARS

    They use 3.27 in FG Series 1 Egas too as they only have a 4 speed auto..... In BA/BF they use 3.23 with the 4 speed.... Go Figure
