ECU - what is it and what does it do?
 At a quick glance the RV8 
has the retro MGB Roadster appearance but, developed and produced three decades 
after the original MGB, it's a substantially re-engineered car in many ways, not 
least with an engine management system. Many members without the technical knowledge 
are keen to try an understand how that engine management system works so here 
Nic Houslip explains what the ECU is and what it does in the RV8's engine management 
system.
