keep on dreaming As you dont know anything about these cars (you know you are the only person I know who has changed a nps on a classic
) and you have never driven a new age STI, let alone run one on 95 ron to see if it does det (its well documented on here if you look, even in my youthful days I would have agreed with you that it should be able to run on 95, but have been educated that they dont by people who have had them fail on 95 ron/heard them det on 95 ron fuel).Of course you even run your classic wrx on 95
so if i were you i would fit a ks3/knocklink, it may enlighten you (and show you how nice the red/high level of det you get on 95 ron fuel on an early classic jdm).Roll on the mappers, they will just confirm that new age STI (type uk) will happily det on 95 ron fuel, especially if pushed.

really sorry to correct you yet again tony but im affraid i do not own a classic anymore
oh and just to add to that NPS issue iirc there was also several other members commented on that thread whom also confimed there was a nps on a classic .
infact to add a tad more to this tony you must be one sick mother mate, have you been stalking me as you seem to know what i have and have not drove/owned
do you like men ? do you find me attractive ? this is well strange 
,, by the sounds of it tony you have been stalking the wrong guy as all your facts about me seem to be a load of bull

guys i joined this forum for a bit of help, not to have members having a total go at each other, every forum is the same these days, there are soo many people with big egos that cant take a bit of banter or take things too personal. stick to talking about subarus and not slandering each other.
does anyone on here run a 5-10% meth mix? according to my research it will takr 95 ron to near 100 but i should have the car mapped if im running 10%. i can buy it on ebay in a 45 gallon drum and could pop 5 mile down the road and fill with 95, then drive like a granny up to my yard and fill with 5 litres of meth, this should allow me to get an sti over a wrx?
let me know your thoughts

As chocolate o tool says stick around and one of the mappers will add thier views, there will always be a split opinion on most things subaru but what you need to do is take in all the info and use it the best way you can

Personally i would not run an STi on anything other than momentum99 or v-power. If i had to use 95 or any % of meth i would have the map adjusted to suit.
Always air on the side of caution.

You can run it on 97 mate as from 1993-1997 they never had 100 Ron fuel in Japan at the pumps so the cars ran on the available which was 97ron.for the price of super unleaded though its better to put Tesco 99 momentum in.

I pay 1.36 for momentum which is 18p a litre cheaper than the nearest v-power.plus get clubcard points as do shopping there as well.ideal when they do 10p a litre off when you buy bogrolls and coffee etc.

It says this for either the WRX or STI with PPP ...
"To obtain maximum benefit from the package, we recommend continued use of Super Unleaded (97 RON) fuel"
so it seems that you can run either on 95 - I wouldnt, I always run my wrx w/ppp on 97 or higher but I wonder what loss of performance you get? I'm going to phone Prodrive and see what they actually say about 95!
anyone been running 95 for a while??

Shame you have no brain
You seem to be stalking me and not the other way round, even in the man utd threads, you are one sick puppy, you need to see a doctor, and you still know sweet fa about subaru's, think ive forgotten more than you ever knew
Just seems you are one of the scoobynet idiots we get on here from time to time, learn about the car, what fuels they can run on safely, how they should be serviced, who should service them properly, and dont give crap information out like you spout, you could cost this guy 2.5k for a new engine if he took your advice (hope he doesnt, save him a packet )

My 2005 WRX PPP (now with 83k miles on it) has been running 95RON for 40+k miles, with absolutely no problems whatsoever.
Less performance and less MPG yes, but no reliability/det issues at all.
BTW, it's only on 95 due to me having a fuel card; it was always on V Power prior to that and if it was me paying for the fuel, it'd be back on V Power.
Just my tuppence worth..!
