The svt's are nice! I didnt want to deal with vct though, but I would love svt bumpers. Base.model focus bumpers are well, hideous.


First trip with ultragauge, 110 km. Got the distance meter calibrated. It was actually dead on as I plugged in. Measured with 2 GPS devices. So I'm confident its accurate. Over the whole trip it was dead on to 2 decimal points.

As for mpg figures, I went ripping around last night just to see how low I could make it go, 1 mpg lol.

So I started my morning commute with an average of 20.5 mpg.

By the time I got to work, its sitting at 35.5 mpg.

Now these figured may be off as I guess there's some kind of calibration for fuel as well? I'll double check when I fill up and compare figures.

But so far I'm happy.

I have the gauges set up as follows.

Speed - instant mpg
Avg mpg - (uh... Crap can't remember)
Distance - intake air temp


Will change these after I get everything calibrated.
I wanted IAT on there just to see, when I'm on the highway ot displays anywhere from 4° C to 7° C ( 40F - 45F)

This seems kind of low? May block off upper grill and see.

Keel in mind it was below 0 this morning. (32F)

Overall good purchase already. I have already figured out how much to accelerate during p&g to be more efficient. Will get better as time goes on, going to switch IAT gauge out for either TPS or load% before I leave work. That should help.
