Nitrous isnt cheap to buy you know... ranges from about £5 per lb to £7 per lb and if you want to 'pimp it then you'll be using alot...

I'd put the money to better use... :)

Why would you want to spend all that money on NOS then waste it into the atmosphere. Save ya money and spend it on a 2.0l conversion then fit NOS to that :lol:

Shouldnt be to hard just a switch that opertates a solenoid, something like the boot release but instead it opens the valve on the bottle. You would need a two way one or it spring loaded to close again.

personally not my thing, but no i wouldnt im agine that it would be that hard to fit. BUT if i saw a car with a dummy kit and a real kit fitted it could kinda see where they are coming from, they want to purge to "look cool" but dont wanna waste very expensive gas, but no1 can knock em for it cz flick of a switch and they are ready to rock n roll with real n20.
i believe demon tweeks do sell a kit tough that uses water from a bottle and air pressur from your spare tyre............not much use if you get a flat though and cant see it looking too good as the water will just come back down again lol
