Octane rating vs compression ratio

[GDII]

It's not that old of a topic. There were answers to my question but your post answered it for the specific car I was using as an example. Thanks.

BTW have you been for burn in the newer BL Mazda3, I got to drive a modified example the other day, was insane for fwd.
Shame there isn't a BM Mazda3 MPS in the works.

EDIT: HOLY BUMP FROM THE PAST SORRY I HAVEN"T BEEN HERE RECENTLY

Yeah driven a few. TBH (for me) it's very hard to tell the difference between the BK/BL. They're practically the same car in different bodies so every difference is minor/subjective. BL has a slightly more aggressive electronic nanny though.

[speculation]I suspect we may see a new MPS in the next year or 2. Plenty of reports around that they're working on it + there's still plenty of action in that space (New Focus RS, New Civic Type R, All the Renaults etc). The new Focus RS is particularly interesting since it uses the 2.3 "ecoboost" engine and the MPS has always been based on a similar platform to the Focus. Here's hoping. [/speculation]
