You won't need booster .........

Please remember that these are normal cars with normal requirements ... don't fall into the trap that these cars need special, mysterious, querky treatments ... they don't!

Treat it with mechanical respect, don't modify it and don't thrash it and it will last forever!!

Enjoy .............. you can enjoy it without driving like a chav

booster isn't really needed - just makes bigger flames if you go the full decat route.

I would only ever user Super Unleaded fuel though matey ... optimax, tesco 99, ultimate.

Do you feed yours on reg unleaded then lewis??

Absolutely not .............

I notice a difference between NUL and Super - Super is always my fuel of choice ............. but, unlike some on here I don't go into stupid fits of panic if I need to grab a few gallons of NUL!!
