Yeah not a bad ride at all,

good to see some else go the LPG way,

look forward to seeing it in the flesh, it has the same style LPG setup I originally had, but to intercool I have to change, interesting setup with the LPG entering before the turbo (amount controlled by engine vacum) and the throttle body on the manifold controling delivery of LPG and air into the engine.

but it works ok and is easy to setup,

I love the turbo manifold thou, looks real nice,

forgot 1 thing,
to improve throttle responce with an LPG system put the Mixer and the Impco hat as close together as possible,

You guyz have no idea how flattered I am that you're so impressed with the car!

Don't have any quarter mile times yet as i'm still sorting the tune and a few other things on the car - gets faster each time I fiddle with something!

Eggy....The Impco hat 'is' the mixer! Do you mean the convertor and the mixer? In order to move the convertor closer to the mixer I have to mount it forward of a crumple zone which effictively makes the gas setup illegal (It is actually illegal to move the convertor forward of the strut towers).
