So apart from LPG what's the difference with what you already have :-/
Keep what you have matey, you may well need the cash to live on, unless you've another job.

I wouldn't bother, what have they done with the bagpipes, looks like a cobble up for the LPG ::)

don't bother, its got a crappy mixer LPG system bodged in with the bag pipes, been there seen cars done that way, not a good way.

If you want LPG make sure its SGI

I think it is SGI but they've messed with the bagpipes as well.

Mixer sytems have to mix the gas with the air intake, as you can see the bagpipes (2 big pipes at the front) have been bodged about with to allow the gas in.

Its been very poorly done, i would avoid personally.

SGI is injection, the gas is injected into the cylinders its a much better way.

Its sgi - you can see injectors - but looks like the idiot though he thought he could improve the inlets, and has removed front multiram...

Wouldn't touch it with a shitty stick

I was wondering if they were injectors, on either side, but i was not sure, did not look right.  :-/

As these guys have said!!!

It looks like it was initially a mixer type system which has been converted (badly!) to a multi-point system.

I would leave well alone! You could convert yours for £800 ish (DIY) and then have a known car with a proven system and lots of support :y :y :y
