ok, just got it about a week ago (my95,totally standard,fresh import) and after reading up in forums, it sounds like i need a knock link and a air flow monitor,
i have come across a apexi SAFC for just over £200 that sounds like it does this, as well as a lot more, i just want it for monioring things (for now anyway) so would this be better? are they harder to fit than the other two?

also, i have a local garage that sells leaded 4 star, can you run scoobies on this, or does it damage the cat?

TIA

ps, if anyone has any links to help me on the techy side of things it would be appreciated, cos most of this stuff is going way over my head!

your car was designed to run on 100ron jap fuel always put shell optimax 98.6ron in the tank. you could also use an octane booster but it's like crack to your engine it will become addicted to it so it can get expensive..

other than that welcome to the club m8!! X

Welcome Boysie.

You are dead right, if you put leaded 4 star in it you can kiss the cats goodbye!
