Hey guys I'm new to the website obviously because i just got my focus. Nice to meet all of you. :D I love it already. Its a 2002 ZX3 5 speed with svt suspension, magnaflow exhaust, and a k & n filter. 79,000 miles and in amazing condition. I also work at Midway Ford on snelling!! So my question is this. What are some fairly cheap and simple performance mods I can do on my engine to get some extra noticeable horses. And also is anyone selling any nice wheels for a good price??

Welcome to the site :)

As for cheap and simple performance for the focus you already have pretty simple mods. You could add a header and a tuner otherwise there isn't much else you can do to it.

You can always save your pennies and get some Boost :)

Check the Buy / Sell area for some wheels.

welcome to sizite. blah blah for sale section, you've heard it.

you could get a TB, upgrade to a CAI, header, cam (but you'll need tune i beleive), and plug wires might do a little. i hear that intake manis aren't really worth it. but of course boost and juice are guaranteed hp gainers if you're willing.

A definite welcome. do some research before you choose a CAI, a lot of the Foci ones have water issues. It depends on what you want really, we can make any suggestions, but its all up to you man. GL with the Foci! let me know if you need any help. :)
