    Joel: That's still 60c AUD a litre :(.... It's really difficult to "stockpile" as you need a pump to transfer it from the holding tank to the vehicle! This also means running out is a bitch in an LPG only car!

    Thanks Rich! Doing the conversions that's 97c AUD a litre which for us is really expensive as today it's just on 50c AUD a litre! I guess it's a supply/demand thing and if it's not as common there they can screw people :(.

    LMAO nah just setting it for the demise of another 7M ;) It sort of follows a pattern here when someone gets a Mk3 and starts wailing on it before they've done any maintenance!

    Collets/Locks are the little things you're talking about there are 2 to each valve. Socket is the tool you use to pull the plugs and just happens to be the right size for this job.

    Valve spring compressor. WTF??

    Jon: Grab a piece of rag a plug socket and an extension bar Put the Rag over the Valve collet/lock then the Plug Socket making sure the rag is a little loose under there then give it a light hit with a hammer and hey presto it all comes apart and the rag stops you losing the locks!

    "Trim" isn't a direct comparison between 2 different Turbos SH. I did a thread on it awhile back and you could have 2 "50 Trim" turbos with different size wheels that would flow totally different amounts of HP! ;)
