so the - now 'theoretical' turbo - in those 10 months time will be something I will just do :P



EDIT: Has anyone seen an example of fender air intake for Focus?
A lower stance would give better handling.

And fender intake? You would have to do some major work, if its even possible. You would get better performance with it in the front grill area

ok, need a word of advice....

where I can get a bolt that would fit here, for motor ground



a place where I don't need to buy a bag of 100 identical bolts (LOWES) or it wouldn't cost $4,50 for a single one (Radioshack)
also need washers, a few small ones and few big ones (big ones to fix rattling heatshield)

Find a mom and pop hardware shop.

There is one by me that I go to if I need one or 2 bolts or nuts.

Mom and Pop means a small family owned business as oppose to a chain.
