Hey there. Ive bought some new improved magnatec 10W 40, just wondering if its good enough to use in my 172. Surely its better than that Elf K&Y jelly they put in at the factory..... Does anyone else use Magnatec?

You know a while back i told you folks with mk.1 172s to try the noise trick by taking off the two tubes leading to the airbox? well, make sure you put them back onto the same holes in the air box, as i found out the hard way (well kinda). I posted a thread about my car losing power recently...

This has occurred ever since ive had my beloved 172. Whenever ive stomped on the brakes quite hard, and let off, its like a pump is sucking the brake fluid or something? Makes a noise like this: "dzzzzzz" (say it out loud and youll get the idea). p.s. for my new job i have to drive along...

Ive emailed my friend Lionel asking about the exhaust that is supposed to go with this ecu, and hes replied giving me details about it (part numbers etc). Does anyone know anything about "Alpine" exhausts!? - as far as my knowledge about cars goes, my thoughts go straight to stereos!! Are they...
