No complaints yet, I just meant it in the "when I change my injectors" way.
I just want to be extra cautious with the fuel system (deliverance and combustion of) because fuel around here sometimes contains dangerous amounts of additives and other synthetics. I was recently shown a photograph taken by the head mechanic at my dealership of a Type R's fuel tank. Apparently the owner came in with the claim that he filled up the car on his way home, and locked up for the night with a full tank. When he came back in the morning, the car had lost 1/4th of the fuel. It had evaporated! The photo showed a gooey white-yellowish substance at the bottom of the fuel tank. The mechanic said the whole place stank to high heaven when they opened up the tank. Apparently the place this guy bought his fuel from had cut the fuel with synthetics, they estimated it was cut 1:2. By the way, this was from a Shell.
BTW, I live in Turkey. Yes, I know, I should change my flag. I don't want to though
I can't find a bottle of Redline Injector cleaner or anything of substantial quality to use on my injectors either. Otherwise I'd be much more inclined to let the injectors run at least 80% of their lives (in miles) before I even began contemplating changing them.

CEL P0304, Cylinder 4 Misfire Detected... That's my situation currently...
Changing plugs first to see if they will solve this problem... MY01 with 70,5xx miles...
Yeah, the NGK's I purchased from my local Advance Auto were $42 and some change...
Gotta pay if ya wanna play with this car I'm afraid...
