i always use standard shell unleaded in my clipper and it runs well but im gonna splash out and put some optimax/vpower or what ever its called these days in it just to see if i can notice any running/performance improvements! i could tell with my mini so we'll see! i'll let everyone know!
Is your Clipper standard 1.8 carb?? I thought timing may need tweaking to run 98RON but then again I'm probably wrong, I usually am just ask the wife If it can run 98RON without adjustment I might just treat the old cabby to some
I no longer have the Mk1!! I now whizz round in a Black 1990 3dr Mk2 GTi 8v but the roof doesn't fold back when the sun shines

my clipper is standard but running with a weber 32/34dmtl rather than the pierburg and the timing is slightly advanced as it seems to run far better that way with the weber. i'm gonna put some in on sat morn and see how it goes!

yeh i dont think putting super in will do anything drastic as to dismantle your engine but you should be able to feel a little bit more response with it i reckon
That's what I'm after, just a little more oomph :mrgreen: but obviously I don't want to damage me engine
