Supercharger?? Not enough power already??
I know I know, there is no such a word as enough power after some time

I could do with a supercharger myself tbh.

I can see your fastidious about every bit of your car Marcin, not just the wheels. That engine bay is immaculate, a real credit to you

Ally intakes come up a treat with alloy wheel cleaner.

Take the plastic off. Put some alloy cleaner on and agitate it then clean off with normal glass cleaner .. comes up a treat

My mission is to give the car a proper clean after work.
I finish at 1500 and the sun is shining.
I've got a bucket, sponge, washing up liquid and some Mr Sheen.
Bring on the cleaning.

I'll get some pics up after.


M-A8, I hope you got something on the leather seats to protect it from the poking bits and movement of the baby seat.
But I assume you have

Performance wise, I don't notice a difference at all, but then I've never had a V8 before. So far as economy is concerned, I used to average roughly 24mpg on petrol. Very little motorway mileage... come to think of it, very little motorway here Running on LPG, current average is 17mpg, but then I've had various other issues with the car. When I first had the conversion done, I was getting only 15mpg, but have been getting around 19mpg these last couple of weeks.

The main thing is that it costs a lot less to run, which is important to me. If it were just petrol, I couldn't afford it. The last time it was petrol only, it cost me £100.00 to fill up, which got me 75 litres and 422 miles (25mpg). My latest LPG fill cost me just £61.66 and got me 82 litres and 330 miles (18mpg).
