I am looking to by a VR4 Estate, Does it have to run on super unleaded or can it be retuned to enjoy regular unleaded@

Yes but regular unleaded should only be used in cases of emergency
IE. no petrol station around has SUL
As soon as you add normal unleaded , The ECU will adjust for this and go into safe mode
So you will loose a shed load of BHP

I can vouch for this!! it's isn't just a slight difference, it's a different car.
It doesn't cost all that much more and you'll have the car that you expect if you feed it correctly.

kierans come with a better performance mod, you polish the car so its smoooth as a babya arse so the air resistence gets lower hence giving additional 150bhp :D
