I'm all set now.
Thanks.

Any luck with the Moates stuff?
I'm looking for kraf5.def.
Do you know where to find it?

Want to buy:
Stock Zetec catalytic converter/ downpipe. (The thing
that bolts up to the stock exhaust manifold.)

Actually, I just want to cut off the top of the converter
and use the flange to build a racing exhaust. I don't
really need the whole converter.

As the title suggets, I want to buy cheap steel 15" wheels for a Focus.

Please let us know how well it all goes with them.
I would like to learn more about what they can do.

From the Melling data that I've seen, it looks like the 2004 ZX3 automatic used springs that have a longer free length, but a lower spring rate. This will make the seat pressure a little higher, but the open pressure a little lower than normal. This is not really what I was hoping for. I'm going to ...

Any idea why the automatic gets different springs?

Maybe I should buy one of each: stock intake, stock exhaust,
automatic, (and SVT too, maybe)?

Just for fun, I checked on: http://tousleyfordparts.com This seems to confirm the Melling application guide (above) for valve springs. There are different valve springs for 2004 Foci with automatics: --- Valve springs, focus, intake - 2.0l dohc (timing belt) - 2.0L DOHC (TIMING BELT) 00-03 $17.02 $1...

OK, so maybe I'll keep flogging this dead horse to death:
The Melling application guide (above) may actually be saying, for
example, that a 2004 ZX3 automatic has different cams (or something)
than a 2004 ZX3 manual. Is this possible?

Thanks Steve, but I'm thinkng that the FRPP springs are overkill for a low-lift cam at 7000 RPM or less. (??) I noticed (above) that Melling seems to use the same valve springs on the SVT applications and the other Zetecs, except the 2004 automatic transmission. So I have two questions for y'all: 1)...

Does anybody have experience with cheap valve springs for a Zetec? I want to race a ZX2 in a Hornet class. I need reliability to 7000 RPM with mild/stock cams. I found these valve springs from Melling that are a couple bucks each, apparently fom Canada. Manufacturer: MELLING VS-2238 INTAKE VS-2237 E...

Can you point me to your source for these diagrams (^^^)?
Thanks for your help.

I'm building a prototype. I want to explore the potential of front wheel drive cars at a few "local" tracks like Shakopee, Elko, and then dirt tracks in the area. I'll rent track time if I have to. How did you bend the control arms? Did you hit stuff or did the track surface cause it? How ...

Has anyone used this yet: CFM Front Tubular Control Arms for '00-07 Ford Focus http://focus.c-f-m.com/cfmfronttubularcontrolarmsfor00-07fordfocus.aspx I'm looking for something that will allow an oval track alignment with a couple degrees negative camber on the right, but a couple degrees positive o...
