Is 100Ron Fuel readily available in UK or even Europe? by reading a magazine article, i think Autocar or TopGear a while ago about grey imports saying some cars in japan need to run on this fuel, anything lower is not good for the engine & could damage it?? it includes JDM impreza STi & pajero GDi so how do people deal with this once these cars are imported to UK? i seen lots of these grey imports here. Would this apply to any grey import lexus like Aristo tt & Altezza RS200 are much quicker performance.

Thanks for reply & info people.
As for the reason why well on my last service sheet, it states thats 'slight wear on rear disc' & i notice that there is some lines around the rear discs,not sure if its score lines or if is anything to worry about, but the front discs looks fine.
Reason why i think the Sport got bigger disc is reading some older threads here & i found this:here

Heard Mintex make repalcement Disc rotors for the IS200, how much are they? Anyone got a product code?
more importantly mine is a IS200 sport 2002, been told the disc brakes are bigger on the spport than the S & SE, is this true? So would Mintex be able to supply Disc rotors for the Sport model? i dont want to replace the disc with ones smaller than the original discs.
thanks!

Since its a official Toyota item. Can you buy this bumper at Toyota/Lexus car dealer in UK? only is not listed in the brochure. I know this bumper is a option at Lexus car dealers overseas.

Im to buy some Mintex rear Discs soon & need new brake pads too so should i buy orginal toyota/lexus brake pads or buy Mintex ones? would they warp the Mintex disc if i still use standard pads? i heard someone using EBC pads on standard disc are warped as a result. I know lexus discs & pads are more expensive than Mintex but are Mintex last just as long? If they dont i rather spend bit more money & buy others. I take it Mintex(like EBC) is less dust? orginal one s i got now is terrible with dust on front wheels.
Cheers.
