As i am getting a WRX my95ish i was wondering how you go about the speedo conversion from kph to mph. Is it just a case of buying a new dial kit(will the importer have already done this) or do you have to get it totally adjusted? If so how much cash a m i looking at?

OB is a good idea, but most people are content with optimax and a remap...

Its always better to run on optimax or super unleaded but not all the time. Sometimes you can stick OB in but i dont bother. I have seen loads of imports being driven around for years on normal unleaded without a remap!!

I run my imprt sti on optimax and stick in some OB every 3rd or 4th tank. Not had any probs except trying to find a shell garage when you need one
