is it worth me getting a bit of that  ;D

.. But you've already got an LPG Omega :y

Just need to pop another gearbox in and maybe an SGI front-end! ;D

Kevin

I've bought a second hand mixer system for the tank...I was considering fitting it until I get my butt in to gear and fit a SGI setup.

Are they really that bad?

Kevin

The group buy SGI thread got me thinking again.... if only the damn bloody f*ing sodding thing did not make such a racket when driving, i would be using it.

Depending on cost i might be tempted to SGI, reduce my monthly fuel bill from £90 to £45  :D ;D

Btw you have a PM regarding the box  ;D

I would say it's not worth fitting one, and then having to hack the car about again to fit a SGI setup.

I haven't got better than 27mpg on gas over any sensible distance.

My fuel bills are around £100 a month including a small amount of petrol

If you haven't already sorted it, I promise I will help sort out the box as soon as my chest is better and I'm fit to crawl under cars and hump things around again!

I still think you need a new lifter or two in that engine though...

And when it's all done, you should definately SGI it, and flog the 2.2.....

OR if you like the 2.2 that much, we could SGI that - it would be a peice of piddle on a 4 pot!

My fuel bill does not really warrent the need to SGI the 2.2... i spend about £100 a month on petrol, so no big savings really.

Considering i have the Elite, i think its worth doing that to increase its value a tad more, use it for big, get some money back and flog it Spring 2008.
