Ok, i am getting pinging under medium load in my R18. Whenever i floor it in a high gear i hear it, and whenever i stab the throttle real quick i hear it. Its starting to get annoying, anyone else get this too?
I have a feeling honda was a little over optimistic when they recomended reg fuel with a 10.5:1 compression motor.
I think this is one of the times that higher octane WILL benifit greatly.
thanks guys
