LPG is rougly half the price of unleaded fuel. Methane is half the price of LPG. all that would mean, ONE very expensive surgery for my ST, and lots od cheap motoring in years to come.
however, BRC (www.brc.it) does not recommend converting 1.8 litre Toyotas and Hondas because the valve and valve bearing alloys cant withstand further temperature increase  Methane conversion is hugely expensive (2500 euros = 3000 us dollars). anybody got experience with this? -------------------- You say you love flowers but you pick them, You say you love animals but you eat them, I fear the day you'll tell me you love me.

I heard that it is not recommended for cars with VTEC (VVT). Also not recommended for drivers, who like to rev engine to the max...
Celica + LPG = ?.. Hmm, need some time to get used. --------------------  |

Do it. Only down side I can think of is slightly more weight, but not a big deal unless you are really into track days. The Celica is pretty light to start with.
