Vx with the LPG conversion on Ebay. Dont think the mrs would get her sh** in the boot haha

[snoopstah]

Neat! How much do those tanks weigh?

'Has had some paintwork' Awesome...

[Astranomical102]

Holy sh**! That will have doubled the weight of the car.
Did a conversion on an e32 730i with that size tank and i could hardly lift it when filled.

The owner did post on here a little bit....... it was a fcuking shed by my standards back then I like the idea, but not in the VX

[rob999]

Maybe he meant to convert it to bio ethanol

Yeah, I remember he got a bit of stick for it!


Bloody hell, it doesnt half take some space up in the NA boot - the boot space is probably about the same as the turbos after shoving that tank in. Stands and pets his amply sized practical NA boot

Is it me, or would coilpack maintenance require an lpg specialist to step in?

Wow! That VX is shiny

I saw that on Auto Trader at least 2 weeks ago, I think there having a problem shifting it. Great idea tho. Regards GiGo

Quite a few of us saw this a few years back at a meet at Brands Hatch, might have been the first Lotus race with Thorney, with us all parked up at Paddock. Remember it being a bit scruffy plus the NSR extra filler , I was too busy taking rear wheel clearance measurements from all cars , wheel and tyre combinations to get info for the special 116 spec team dynamics group buy. The LPG is probably reversable

Whats all that chequer plate on the drivers sill?

[james141]

It also has tubby lights and vents, could be purely a cosmetic change tho

I think the previous owner really liked black; lights, window frame, doorcards, fillercap.
Bet you he swapped some black rims for the original on sale.

...And what's with those coloured headlight switches ?

Take a look at the condition of the front number plate ! Is that a hint to the true condition of the rest of the car ? (...before it had a re-spray)

God forbid someone does something different to getting a toss tuning stage 2 fitted to their car that makes more noise and zero better performance. Fair play to the guy for carrying it out

[JohnTurbo]

I'm a fan of it. If i had that i could use it as my commuter vehicle...and ditch the saab 9-3 for something else more exciting. (Such as a jacked up Pajero)

Agreed, if only it didnt take up so much space. Ive done a lot of miles in my VX over the past 12 months due to job change and trying to relocate halfway across the country. 60p a litre for LPG would make a big difference to my weekly commute up and down!!
