WHAT HAPPENS IF???
I've just been speaking to a chap who ownes a 1994 Pulsar GTI-R import and since 1999 he has been putting 95 unleaded in it, how come he can get away with putting cheapy fuel in and i have to put in V power ?
Is it just the scoobies that are sensative to everything? or what kind of damage could he have caused
Any info wil be great as it would be great to tell him the bad news after he's bought me a drink

my 93wrx used to get fed 95 unleaded (supermarket quality) on a regular basis without problems. Still use it occasionaly with a power fc fitted and mapped for 97 super with no problems. Can feel a slight difference but no noticeable increase in knock activity.

gtir totally different animal with the ecu etc, when I had mine I had no probs running it on 95 ron (this was in 1999) that was slightly modified with some dp motorsport cams and slight boost increase and that didnt miss a beat. Dont really know to much though about the engine management though in the gtir to give as a definitive answer though, maybe check out the gtir site

it might just be as you said he drives like an old lady or the internals could have been reworked in japan as you can never tell whats been done to the inside of the engine and he might be lucky but as said my mate used optimax when he could be botherd to get it and just stuck murco in and after a spirited drive the rest is history and that was on standard boost.
