If you need a second opinion, Its actually a Malt Vinegar bottle, quite important that we get these fine details clear, right?

As mentioned above, Malt Vinegar :)
Any other vinegar will increase knock, detonation, decrease boost and make your car run lean, very bad!

you boys are such amatuers, everyone knows that we stopped using vinegar in the late 90\'s.

Nowadays we use gravy.......Mazda reccommend using ONLY Bisto, through R&D they found that OXO was no good, although by using chicken stock you could advance the timing somewhat allowing for a leaner burn..

lol :rollin
used chip fat oil with a 10% mix with garlic butter is the way forward:3gears-lh the ultimate in lubrication but only at 86deg c so your cooling system must be up to scratch.
