Good day! Me name is Roman. I live in St-Petersburg (Russia). I've bought 1992 Pontiac Bonneville SSEi in Switzerland in 2011 year and bring it to Russia. I've made many things about this car (exhaust, wheels, electicity) and now I can ride on it. Sorry for my language)

Re: From Russia with love)
Welcome! It looks like it's in great shape. Can you tell me what you've added in the engine bay? I see some solenoids or something above the fuel injectors, and what looks like some coolant hoses that run from under the supercharger snout over to around the brake master cylinder.

Hi. It is gas equipment. Engine can work on gasoline or on gas. For example: 1 litre of 92 octane gasoline costs about 1 dollar, 1 litre of gas costs 1/2 dollar. For long trips I load full tank of gasoline and full tank of gas and visit Finland and then I can return to St-Petersburg without visiting gas station

Ah, I see. How well does it run on natural gas?

slower and more boring than on gasolineJ Wikoff wrote:Ah, I see. How well does it run on natural gas?
But gas - cleaner, burns completely and does not leave a deposit on the cylinders. And "octane" number of propane is same to 95 gasoline...and it is environmentally friendly

Re: From Russia with love)
Thank you. In Russia we love true JDM cars and oldschool american cars. One of my hobbies is reconstruction of american muscle cars:95naSTA wrote:Looks better than most 92-95s here in the states. Nice car!

Thanks. Also I have chrome original wheels. But all of them are small - R16 with 225/60/16 tyres. I want to buy 18 wheels with 245/45/18 tyres!2000Silverbullet wrote:I like your wheels.

Re: From Russia with love)
Possible you can give us some more details, and pics on the secondary fuel source? When you say gas, do you mean propane? How does the mileage change when not using petrol?

Very nice car. You can also fit mustang rims on these cars with hub centric rings. that will open up your rim options.

Mustang wheels won't require hub centric rings. Their hub bore is too close to even fit them.
