Re-wiring my horn after a break-in (Wheres the fuse box?)

Greetings, As Ive posted previously, my car was broken into, and part of the damage was to the Air-Horn (Ripped it pretty much right out). Problem is between me and my dad we've re-wired it up same as last time... with no joy :( We're not sure if a fuse was blown or not (because they just left the w...

I have just had a friend who has an STi recommend to me Pennzoil.

No while I realise that the difference we're going to be talking about would be absolutely minimal compared to the Magnatec Im currently running, has anybody here tried Pennzoil in an MX5 specifically who can comment?

Greetings,

I actually asked a similar question over here:
http://www.mx5forum.co.nz/about103.html

I ended up going for the Castrol Magnatec 5w-40, but Im coming up time to change it again so I'll look at going fully synthetic with Mobil 1.

Much good advice on that thread :-)

Okay, so pager does sound like a bit of a waste of money for me at the moment then.

Yeah, had a look through the miata.net forums, theres a _lot_ of other people out there who've thrown V8's into MX5's.

Odd you should say that, I get mine at approx 2500rpm, but some others on the forum here seemed to think it was largely attributed to the lightened flywheel.

Perhaps not?
