I would not call 8.4:1 compression a joke, low yes, but if you're inclined to save some money, it's still totally serviceable. Plus you have the option of running unleaded regular fuel.
I think you may have lower octane regular fuel than we do, because my '94 Mondeo (the daily car, although I mainly use a bicycle for getting around) runs somewhere around 10.5:1 and runs perfectly well on regular unleaded (95RON, I believe). The Duratec series runs CRs of 10.6 and 10.8:1, still on our regular. I believe the federal spec 907s run a lower CR than the European ones.
Erik: I may well have to post some pics to JHPPG, I try to take some pictures once in a while to document progress. It won't happen tonight, but I'll see what can be done over the weekend.
