Hey Ross, thanks for the kind words!

Again today i gave my car a thrash and added more of the octane booster and still not changes. My knocks remained constant at 15-23ish which is probably road noise.

Like i said before i will wait for a hot day to see if there is any changes but that might not be for a little while.

Hope this info saves you from the 20dollar curiosity but ill let you know if anything changes on a hot day.

yer well i guess the best solution would be to drive more for us lol cant think of anything else which is practical

Today i added the rest of the bottle of octane booster to the tank containing only about 10litres of fuel.

Highest knock reading was 28 at 7800rpm so still very safe but up a couple of points. The road was as smooth as possible to reduce road noise registering a reading.

Boost spiked to 1.2bar as it was a hard launch in 1st/2nd. Daaaamn my car is fast: 0-100 in under 5seconds easy!

I will buy the product again when summer comes and then do some more.

Well i have had a look on a few on a few major websites like Shell and BP etc..

Most of them claim that there fuel will not lose any octane if its stored for a 3-6 months in the right conditions!

So im thinking it would be alright to boost with fuel that is only a month old..

Well it should be according to what they are saying lol

    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
    • Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
    • Continental have consistently beaten the absolute shit out of every other performance tyre in Wet/Damp/Cold conditions and give up a little bit of time (half a second at most) in the dry. Almost like it's engineered for German conditions or something. I'd def give those a try.
