Quite expensive and sooner or later the cost will out weigh getting a remap done to accept UK SUL. Alternatively you could go to Jennychem and order a 205 litre drum of methanol. a helluva lot cheaper than NF by all accounts.

I've a sti v5 and have always used 99 from Tesco since I've had the car which is over 3 years now.
I'm just wondering if I start using this NF Octane stuff will it cause any problems with my engine. I know it will probably be totally fine but as the engine is use to the 99 stuff for all this time. the extra stuff might upset it.

for genuine octane improvers you need to get NF Race formula or the Millers Octane+, CVL, CVL turbo ranges.........
all of these give a min of 2 full RON unlike the "flashy" products shown/tested by 5thgear that are not much better than adding water IMO........
most aim to "confues" the purchaser by stating any improvement in Octane POINTS which sound fantstic when your getting 4, 5, 6points+ etc......BUT an octane point is a TENTH of a RON! so you only actually getting a marginal improvemenet (if at all) LOL.....
hope this helps, alyn
