Wow another 172 in Telford! Just turn on the ignition (dont start the engine) and turn the lights on and off twice. Youll hear a beep which confirms what you did.
LMAO! The amount of miles I do in the car is directly proportional to the amount of cleaning that the exhaust gets. If I cant find the time to clean, I dont drive :D
Got the sticker from one of the shops at York Dragway, cost £1. Should be able to get them from any of the shows - Donny, Trax etc.
Springs are just springs. Coilovers are springs and shocks in one. Huge price difference - springs around £130, coilovers any price you care to name. Probably best to start with springs. AS Daz said, Eibachs are the benchmark replacement spring on 172s.
May as well I guess. The handbook is pretty specific - no alternative grades are offered. In real life I doubt it would make a lot of difference, but you never know.
You wont notice it (I have the same thing). Clean it every 10,000 miles (not 36,000 as Pipercross say!). I really noticed a difference last time I cleaned mine.
The manufacturers of these things (Pipercross, K&N, Green etc) claim that their filters will pass more air than standard paper ones too. Hard to tell unless you have a RR in your garage.
