seaoil's extreme 97 is highly recommended for sports cars. not sure how it will respond to regular cars though.

Should be no problem as I am filling Blaze which is 100 RON. I'm happy with blaze.
My order will be arriving soon via fedex. SCT programmer with MPT tune.

In most cases you'll probably end up with minimal to no improvement since non-high-performance engines were not designed to take advantage of high octane fuels.
I just noticed nowadays more people seem to be ignoring the manufacturer's fuel recommendations.

I use USB and everytime i i start the engine, error message would popo up on the screen even though it's playing fine already. Just have to press OK to clear the message everytime. Anyone of the same case ? I don;t link my phone into the EX kasi baka biglang may mag txt o call na incriminating kay mrs.

XCS only for me. Traveled last Thursday from Laguna to Clark and was caught in the scrolling traffic from C5 flyover until Eastwood and then again in Katipunan overpass until Miriam during the noon time rain fall. Filled-up again upon reaching Clark and still made 8 Km/Lt for the entire trip.

Petron in Alabang along commerce ave sell's the cheapest gas in town IMO. It goes with a free hotdog for every 1,000 pesos.

Finally after 3months of waiting the shark fin for my EX arrived. Wanting to get rid of the long antenna.

May I know total cost of the shark fin?

I bought from visualgarage.com. Cost me around $110 all in with custom fees.

GREAT! While the Exhaust smell is still not resolved, here comes another new issue in my EX: A-PILLAR RATTLE!!! I know there's a TSB out for it, but its just annoying when issues come out all of a sudden. *sigh*
