I am wondering if they are the same as whats on your car because that means yours is probably set to about 15 degrees which is about what i would think is safe running 96 or even 98 octane petrol.

Yeah, I visited there a while ago, but the timing marks that they describe don't appear to be anything like what mine are.

I would really greatly apreciate this as i'm trying to find the trade off for safe running while at its maximum power.
Also do U know what it was set to standard, did you notice a difference and was it a big difference???

Well, after after having the mechanic adjust it by ear the car seemed much more 'responsive' (I can't really describe it). As for worrying about damaging things there's little risk. The ECU will screw with things if you're getting detonation, but it'll be really noticable, so you'll know you've advanced it too far. The best time to hear the detonation if you've advanced it too far is when you load the motor hard, like 3rd gear and going only 20km up a slight rise for example.
