Nice wagons.

I have a MY94 imported one, best fun I've had driving in years. It looks like the blue one at the top of this thread, but I have 18" alloys etc..

Practical yet fun.

LPG'd it and so fuel costs are alot better, PM if you want details. Am going to be writing a review on LPG shortly.

Cheers.

In short (just for you ) less power then when on petrol (I don't care what the installers say), similar effect of a full car loadish. Runs smoother though

It "hic cups at 4k rpm" then carries on, this is due to the software needing an upgrade (it's overdue from suppliers ).
**HOT of press** The installers are now getting new larger injectors for the prince system within the next month** ooooooooo. Hopefully no cough at 4k and less power loss etc..

You must drive below 3.5 on your rev counter, else the LPG will go from it's tank quicker than petrol does. But it only costs 40p(ish) a litre

This is the short version as this conversion brings all it's own set of do's and don'ts.

But recommended, against what everyone else has been saying, each to their own

You loose approx of floor depth and your spare.

Thanks for the comments guy's.

Well worth the 860 mile round trip. Looked at too many tired and abused examples, but this only has 23k on the clock with 4 service stamps and the last service included the belts, so its been looked after.

Just don't like those wheels. Must be the worst looking wheels Subaru ever fitted to the Impreza.
