Default Another possible Modification

Guys, I was reading my weekly motorsport mag and noticed this www.easycap.com.au

I might have a closer look at this 'cos I've always found the shroud around the filler gets in the way of the Fuel Lid and Cap on my LR (or maybe the other way around) and this mod will eliminate the Fuel Cap.

Good, bad or what??

My fiance loves it. It is the only car where she doesn't complain about having to fill it up. Having said that, not getting one for her MX5. That thing runs on the smell of an oily rag anyways!

I looked at another version once, but found a lot of people saying it didn't work very well. This is a different model and may be OK Eddie.

I think you need to spend $50 and road test it for us Eddie!!!!! :evil3:
