    It depends on traction too and your more likely to break an axle or side gear with fat sticky tyres.

    As said the oil pump drive (hex piece) is not lined up correctly.  I use an 8mm, long socket on an extension to turn the shaft to the correct position - works a treat.  Just don't drop the socket or extension down into the sump - yes I have done it.

    you cant have good cornering/steering and a good ride over bumps, theyre polar opposites. just pick one and live with the pro's an con's. and superpro is better than nolothane IMO.

    personally i would leave the gas shop to fit the lines because its easier for them to check it if they are fitting the lines them self

    thunderbolt reacted to PSI_LTD in diy gas conversion?   
    what i did was retrofit the entire system, and refer to aus standard #something.
    then, the car was taken into a gas shop, checked, complied and certified.
     
    so, from memory the rules are thus:
    1. tank securely mounted in non-passenger compartment (fully airtight from environment - that's why they have the pipes routed to exterior)
    2. stamped, in date tank
    3. lockoffs at the tank and engine bay
    4. double insulated copper line of flexi hose (application specific), rules apply for routing and clamping.
    5. electronic safety switch for lockoff control
    6. other bits i probably left off
    7. and obviously no leaks anywhere
     
    seriously, it's not hard. but don't think it's something you can have a go of without doing research and testing it after.
