If you hook the power up to the running lights (parking) then you don't have to turn them on and off.

Yeah, Its not labeled at off you just stick it in the center and they turn off.. Sorry I caused some confusion and trouble.eggyolk said:I'll have to look at mine again... but I did not see "off".

not all have the "off" option. mine didn't. i tapped my juice from the headlight switch, that way it only comes on when my headlights are on. the wire was easy to find bc the dealer already tapped into it once when they installed my alarm.

k, i know i've explained this before, but i can't find it, so here we go:
1) fuel gauge: go fill the tank. now you know the guage should be on "full," right? so stick it on full
2) temp: most focii that i know of have the temp. needle straight up at operating temp. so just go for a nice drive, and stick it vertical.
3) tach: put the digital readout in "test" mode (i'll explain this at the bottom of this post). scan through your options until you get to the tach. raise the RPMs until you get a reading you can find easily on the tach (i.e. multiples of 1000). now just stick the needle on to match the tach. this may take a couple of tries, so be patient. NOTE: IT WILL NOT WORK TO JUST STICK THE NEEDLE AT "0" WHEN THE CAR IS OFF. DON'T ASK ME WHY, IT JUST DOESN'T.
4) speedo: find a nice stretch of road that will allow you to concentrate more on your speedo. if you have cruise control, it will help a lot. again, set the digital readout to "test" mode. find the readout for MPH or KPH, whichever you prefer. get the car at a consistent speed that you can easily find on the speedo (just like you did for the tach). stick on the needle and you're done. again, this is difficult (esp. without cruise control), so take your time and be patient.

FocusSport does excellent work on their parts, I would highly reccomend it. You will lose your 2nd cat though just so you know. All that means is 4 years from now you might have to deal with a new exhaust or weld a cat in.bradley said:How do I run a search on it? And a question specifically to eggyolk, I also have a 03' ZX3 PZEV and I was thinking of purchasing FocusSport's Cool-Flo Intake and Exhaust. Is it worth it?
The HP/Torque gains are awesome with the intake, and the exhaust adds a bit more and a nice tone which is more quiet than the intake.
yea you just put the needle stops out, but for the trip reset button you will take the 3 screws out of the front of the face and pull them off. and then you will see that the trip reset button has to be squeezed together in order to pull it out
