Anyone know any decent sites for a few smallish tasteful (non maxpowar) mods and stuff that a friend could do to his Focus 3 door? I've already recommended a new air filter.

He's looked about on the focus owners club and all he can find is a bunch of 17 year old ****ers talking about hitting 160mph in their 1.4s :rolleyes:

I told him to post on here as yer all a friendly bunch :D

Can we keep the scrabble down to a moderate amount please :p

Cheers fellas

Used to own a focus for my sins a 1.8 Zetec then a 1.6 Silver edition a company makes a turbo kit for the Zetec S fiesta so thatll fit a 1.6 Focus cos its the same engine hope this helps:)

a turbo! :eek: thats not a smallish mod ! :p :D
i know what you mean about the focus BB, a lad i work with has a 1.8 and he has done things to it (in the modding sense not the disturbing sense) that would make a max power BBC boy blush :rolleyes:

The owner of said vehicle is me, thanks for all your help, should be buying a few bits within a few months time.

I dunno about buying and insuring a 200 when you're 20 :|

Thanks once again :)

one of my mates has got a 1.6 fords focus, he mod'd it when they first came out so far he has spent about 4 grand on it.

Cams
Some sort of new induction kit (vper/vortex or something(
zorst
chip

he's putting out quite a lot of power (for a low power car)

his 0-60 is down to about 7.5 seconds, timed and R&R'd
1/4 mile aint all that great, next addition is nitrous

Filter/zorst
Cams are a good one.
Also, how moddable are the throttle bodies on those?

Uprated springs
