Febreeze.
You can try "Sunflowers & Sunshine", or "Spring Renewal"...I'm partial to "Glistening Alpine" this time of year, myself. That's more of an interior thing though.
If you're actually asking about the engine bay, you can always find a detailer or dealership that can steam clean it for you. really cleans things up nicely, and you can hang an air freshener or spritz some Frebreeze on the hood liner from there.
Depending on mileage and budget; I'd do a basic tune-up (plugs, wires, etc) and actual dyno tuning. It will change the maps the ECU uses to run; and could "wake up" a few more ponies that Ford didn't think the average consumer would miss.
Mine never ran better than after the tune. The downside is the price. It's a hell of a lot cheaper than forced induction, especially if you're not gutting it and forging it, but the SCT3 will run right around $400; then you have to strap it down and let the pro set that thing up. It'll purr like a kitten and go a tad bit better than before; and you'll already have the tuner to make changes later. PLUS you can have two programs on the SCT3. I have a 87octane tune for fuel savings, and a 93octane tune that wrings every last bit of safe power out of the setup that's on the engine.
^ what kind of extra power were you able to get off the 87 tune and 93 tune, this looks like a good kind of mod for someone looking to keep the engine stock and maintain driveability. Oh was there any increase in MPG?
John, that would be around the 116,xxx miles for the folks here
I did really good for my money using the buy-sell-trade section. If you are gonna turbo in the next year, you just need some basics for the now. Go buy a K&N panel filter and drop it in. Search around B-S-T or, go to a junkyard for a SVT intake snorkel(one of our vendors C-F-M has them new but they are about $80 US). That should put you back $100.00 to start. Then, start looking at 2.5" exhaust. Many of our members are happy with these guys, http://www.mandrelexhaustsystems.co...ord-cln-00-dsh-04-Ford-Focus-Zetec/Categories
But you will have to contact them to see if they ship up north.
Start saving because you'll be needing a 65mm throttle body and adjustable cam gears topped off with having them set on a dyno.
Then there is the suspension and other bits.
I have done, 4-2-1 header(and wrap), 2.5" flex, 2.25 exhaust, Focus sport intake, 65mm throttle body, adjustable cam gears(dyno-tuned), SCT XCAL3 tuned by our very own 1turbofocus, Moog swaybar endlinks, prothane rear swaybar bushings, SVT dampers, Eibach Pro Kit springs(1.5" drop) and and an alignment.
With an automatic; the SCT3 also has the ability to set custom shift points. So you could do an optimized stock tune; and a more aggressive tune as well.
A tune would be one of the best mods you could do for yours since it's a automatic. It'll firm up the shifts and make it overall much better to drive. After that I'd get a SVT header conversion, that with a tune is easily the most bang/hp for your buck you'll get.
I'd do a tune first, then depending on who you go with you can update the tune for the mods. If your truly going to go turbo then forget the header and intake and put that money towards the turbo since it will remove the header and intake.
A laptop isn't necessarily needed, you can data log onto the device and then load the data log onto the computer if that's what your asking him about having a laptop?
My dad has a laptop and do any of u guys ship to Canada ? And what's the tune for?
