I assume with the TOVA quoted extremely limited numbers (10 units a month) running 100 RON can be justified as you say by tuning shops etc.

For those wanting to read TOVA article.

PS - Many thousands of tuning shops... that sounds pretty cool, I don't know much about the Malaysian tuning scene.

In this thread, "WongKN" is the same guy that runs Temple of VTEC Asia. It's solely because of him that Malaysia is getting the FD2R.
