    yeah i'd heard that 17's are less than optimal for the ride but honda had to have them as an option - much to their bemusement.
    question - are you bored of the auto tailgate yet? i've had mine 3 weeks and i still grin like an idiot when i plip it open and closed.

    I find the most satisfying thing with that is to press the button and nochalantly walk away, getting on with the next thing as it sorts itself out. Definitely cool.

    Unfortunately no one has noticed yet.

    Re LPG info: Thanks Isaac. He will most likely be buying JDM anyway so no issues there.

    Lol - I do exactly the same thing when I open the boot of my ickle CRX, casually wander to get something from the cabin while it electronically lifts vertically. Okay - nothing like as practical (in the case of my car) as a normal boot - but still cool.

    & yes, I found it odd he couldn't get comfy in the Accord - not the bolsters either as he is pretty trim.

    Be sure that any lpg system installed has a flashlube system as it will otherwise knacker the valve seats. With a turboed engine, it's a bit of a mixed bag... higher octane rating of the gas is good, but higher combustion and exhaust temps can have implications for the turbo. Good synthetic oil (eg Amsoil), and running a turbo timer while running on petrol at the end of journeys would be good steps.

    Markus, there's only one thing you need to know about the interior of a Subaru (clue: it's not McIn...)
