Autosportif Engine rebuild checklist query
I bought y STi type R just over a year ago now and last night i was flicking through the receipts for the engine rebuild and read that it was warranteed for 6 months providing the following criteria was met.I wont bore you with the details but one of them was 'the car is to be run on 97 octane fuel' would this imply that the ecu isnt standard and has been mapped for uk fuel? Its an STi 4 MY98 and upon inspection of the ecu everything looks standard although i havent looked further than the ecu casing.The work was done at Autosportif.Ive been using optimax with no booster and the knocklink has barely any activity at all first green flickers at most.Any ideas?

GM - the knocklink is set to max sensitivity as is the lambda link (which also only shows green on WOT),would they still have records of the work done if it was over a year ago?

They'd almost certainly have a receipt on record if nothing else. However, if you phone them and give them a précis of the situation, and want to check the warranty clause about 97RON fuel being used, they should be able to clarify the situation for you.
