I'm also switching to synthetic on the next oil change unless anyone here figures that's a bad idea? I'm just really emulating the "good practices" of my buddy Pete with his 2006 WRX STi as far as maintenance goes.

i'm gonna jump in with my unsolicated $.02

are the focus gauge cluster still red or yellow needle with green numbers? if you want to match the look of the stock cluster you should take a look at omori gauges.

the one on the right of the steering column (covering the tach) is the one i'm using



as for gauges.. i agree wideband 02 is nice to have.. but that said i don't have any A/F gauge.. i am using EGT and oil pressure as surrogates..

sorry to post bout oil but.. personally i dont think full synth is worth it except for getting extended oil change intervals or unless the factory specifically recommends it. i think a 'heavy duty' dino oil such as 15W40 rotella t ('diesel' engine oil FTMFW) and 3000mi change intervals get the job done at a fraction of the cost..

i'm guessing you will have spent close to $7000 when the dust settles.. (shipping/brokerage, labor, dyno time, gauges)

post pics, this is exciting stuff!!! i always wished i did something like this to my focus
