Question Octane assistance ...

I have a spanking 1993 WRX-RA Import which has had quite a few mods along the way.

I'm currently sitting around 300/320bhp with more mods in the pipeline, i.e. tubular manifold to complete my RCM system & RCM induction/improved flow kit, to avoid having the silly dump valve noise.

My question:
Which Octane booster would you guy's recommend to protect & obtain the maximum from my engine, along with Optimax of course.

And who are the most competitive sellers & in what qty's


Your feedback would be appreciated

Just acquired STI import myself and asked similar question and was reccommended Millers Octane Booster. Adds 2 to your ron so with optimax should be ok. Bought a pack of 10 from Scoobyparts.com £33.62 plus vat and shipping £3.95 plus VAT. Superfast delivery price seemed ok from quick surf but if look hard might find it cheaper eg e-bay?

Make sure its the old formula not the new one.

New one is rubbish.

Hello matey
Number plate came from a company in Ireland, found through a search via Google.

Do you recall those guy's in that black Vectra ? Well I came across them on the A-444 en-route back home, I think thay may have been under the Impression that this was a run of the mill Impreza they were going to play with.

Well after being authorised by her indoors who happened to be in the passenger seat, it had to be done.

The old RA Might only do 125mph at a squeeze, but hell, it's G-tastic with the right gearing.

Must do the 1/4 mile sometime soon

Hope your well
