Default P1 in France

Here is my beloved P1, the 0694/1000.

Bought on ebay last weekend from Doncaster UK.

First stop at the gas station



Waiting at Folkstone



In the train



In Lyon, France.

Welcome. Very nice.
What have you done about the lower octane fuel in France?
I visit near Lyon every winter, on my way to Maurienne

I used gasoline in the gas station with SP98+, and in case of emergency I have a can of octane booster.

The Best are :
-Total
-Esso
-BP

BP is a no no in uk, imprezas allegedly don't like it. If your P1 was mapped for Shell nitro ( higher octane in uk than France) or Tescos 99 here, it may not like any of your choices. My blobeye didn't like total or esso in France.

as above will need the map looked at for the fuel, could easily fry the engine if its wrong so take it easy and keep it off boost till its looked at.

Another vote for having it mapped for 98 octane.

All octane boosters are NOT alike, and it would be a shame to knacker that engine.

I want to keep it in original condition, so I am looking for an original exhaust muffler.

Not easy to find, I saw the prodrive that looks like it is engraved prodrive instead of P1.

If anyone sees or know one for sale, please tell me.
