Damn, does it come in a 2 door? I just drove a 04 Mazda3 4 door hatch and it wasn't as impressive as my focus. I'm pretty sure I could beat it in a drag race as it seemed heavy. The clutch was way too stiff too.

Thanks for the offers. Now I just have to get the kit and set it up. The repair progams the shops have estimate it's a 3 hour job plus the alingment. That's what scared me. I was expecting a requirement for some fancy import beer but Leinies all the better! BTW - one should consider a smoky and the ...

Anyone out there willing to help me put on an SVT suspension kit? I can fix most anything but I am not familiar with car suspension (I'm a motorcycle/outboard motor/snowmobile type of guy). Willing to trade labor or beer or $. The local "cheapo" repair shop wants $300 which is too much for...

Count me in too. Send me whatever else you have!

It's even better when waxed...

The seat covers look nice and are comfy but I'm not sure they are the best option. They tend to be warm in the summer, and at $220 for just the fronts kinda spendy. Lucky for me they didn't make rears or that was another $220.

I think it was $380? Better check with Steve, he probably knows off the top of his head. Whatever it was it was well under the FRPP list price. It's a really nice full stainless steel system.

I wasn't so sure about the wheels but they grow on you after awhile. I think it needs a white rocker panel stripe to offset those "bright" wheels. An SVT suspension is in the near future which should drop it almost 1" (there's 3" between the tire and fender now). I got the wing f...

My Borla cat back is a great system (and a great price thru Tousley as it's a FRPP part). That and the CAI added a nice sound and a very noticable boost in performence. I planned on keeping it quiet so if I added a header I would also add another resonator. Cossi stuff is spendy. Marcy might be havi...

Lets see if I can get this to work...

A few more things - Steve also sold me the exhaust, P0 nero tires and soon a SVT suspension kit. I bought the rims elsewhere as I missed his post for $65. I had to pay $79 plus shipping. Still a hell of a deal. Bought my car in Hudson but it came from his lot too! BTW - My wife works for Ford and he...

Seems most everyone around here is running Zetec. I'm looking to upgrade my little 2.0 duratech and was wondering if anyone around town has any duratech mods they'd like to show off. Header, cams and some X-cal tuning are on the wish list but I have to keep the sound down and it still has to get me ...

Yes that was me, and yes Steve sold me the S2 spoiler (for a smoking good deal). I auto-x it once, might go to another 1-2 events this year. I saw a sonic blue ZX-3 parked in a driveway in Lakeland yesterday on my failed shortcut tour around traffic on 94. It had the gold rally wheels and what looke...
