Fluids in your FD

Ok, for all you guys who are "****" or excessive about your FD's maintenence. What are ALL the fluids you use in your car? What kind of oil, is it synthetic, (how much), type of coolant, tranny fluid, etc... I want to be VERY carefull and give my car the BEST for it. So can you help me out on what to use? Thanks!

oil : Castrol Sythetic blend 25/50

Currently using Redline in tranny and diff but gonna switch to Neo in the next couple of weeks. Redline didn't last that long.

Motul 600 brake fluid

Just use Name brand **** for the other fluids and you'll be ok.

91 octane is fine for your mods. You can add octane booster if you want but it won't do much, maybe bump you up to 93 or 94.
