 Wow! What did you have to do to convert it? I bought a kit from www.greasecar.com and installed it. Their site has a lot of info on it about the kit and pictures. It works every bit as good as they say it does. I am very happy with it. I save a ton of cash using it and it helps the enviroment because it is way less polluting than diesel. You still have to start it up on diesel to get it warm, flip a switch and then its burning veggie, and then you switch back to diesel when you reach you destination. if you don't switch back to diesel and its below 40 F or 5 C you will more or less have butter/grease in you injectors. Not good. A real PIA to get it going after that.  If you or anyone else would like to know more feel free to ask.  |

Sounds like something my former supervisor would do! He's really into stuff like that.  |

I've got a Dodge Dakota 4x4 and a Ford Focus. I've had pickups since I was 16 and can't imagine not having one. It gets me and my boat to all my happy places.

I have a 2004 Chrysler 300M Platinum Series. It's a nice car with all the bells and whistles (I haven't figured out why it has two separate CD players on the console  ), but I traded in my beloved 1998 Jaguar XJ8L to get it. I miss my Jag, but it was the practical thing to do. There is no authorized Jag repair shop in my area, and for years I would have to drive an hour and a half to the dealership for any repairs or routine maintenance. It was a major pain the a$$. But I still miss it.  It's the smoothest ride I've ever had. |

How many K or the car? I've seen pics of the Justy before. I think the first time I saw it was from Grand Turismo 2 Neat little cars. |

So does it work with non-diesel cars? i've got a Honda Civic and, though it's a good little car, it's old and burns a lot of gas sitting in traffic. Don't have to worry about the air temperature part, though--we get less than a week of below 40F weather all year down here (much to my chagrin). |

Sorry CaseO, that conversion is only an option with diesel engines. Yeah Markus, know what JDM means. What's with all this quarter miling anyway, doesn't it get boring going in straight lines all the time?  |

Well if it were just straight line performance I was interested in then I wouldn't have the tuned susp or sporting the 18's. The F-body LS2 own in the 1/4. (GTO, Corvette and Caddy CTS-V) I've done some auto X as well There just no good way to measure lateral G's other than the seat of you pants or if you know someone who works for TopGear or MotorTrent . Don't get me wrong I love the twisties. Best Drive I've ever had was on the Trans Canada In BC on my way to Kelowna (sp?) Got any pics of the Justy? |

Family man that I am, I'm driving a Opel Zafira Comfort 1.6 16 value.
It' handy having a seven seater when you've a family totaling 6.

Probably because it's not available in the U.S. The first car I owned (it was my high school graduation present) was an Opel Manta GT. I loved that car! |
