Welcome to the forum many on here highly rate Andy at ACE Motorsport in Newbridge, not sure of the number but someone will be along soon with it for you.
Edit to say, if its a fresh import better get the ECU map checked out as if its a jap one they used 102 Ron fuel and the best we can do over here is 99 Ron.
Dint want it going pop on you.
If you are running it around I'd be sticking in a slug of octane booster and keeping off the boost until you can get it checked.

Hi
Thanks for the info everyone, its my first scooby like I said but the car as been in the uk for 4 years since the previous owner bought it, been serviced every 3000 miles so it should be in mint condition even though i still want to get it checked out, When i pick the car up ill give Ace a bell. Does the south wales part of the club have regular meets and where?
