thank you!

you are right about the 3.0! both my 94's have/had that engine... my silver one (that went to 238.5K) the engine was still running well but the tranny started slipping and giving me all kinds of problems... my current 94 (dark green) runs like a champ but it's starting to slowly drink fluids... brake fluid, coolant, and oil... gotta make sure i keep a watchful eye on them... it's gotta get me home someday...lol

Welcome Doug!

On a side note, seen an RS today, damn they look good in person.
And went to Farm and Barn and parked next to another focus hatch, all black and Black rims. We matched.

Yep we get some spam once in a while. Anywho Doug, are you a modding type guy or are you keeping the Focus simple? Even a K&N drop in filter would be a nice improvement, even though your current one has barely any miles on it yet lol

thanks David! sounds like you found your twin at F&F! very cool! since you are from/in roscoe, do you ever hit up that little car show circuit down there? every thursday (late spring, summer, early fall) they meet at different cafe/restaurants around the area... some of the places are Hawk's View, Roscoe Plaza, Sophia's and i think they added a new place too... anyways, they are always kind of fun, a grab a burger, some fries, and check out some cool cars... i usually hit one or two a month... personally i like the Roscoe Plaza ones the best because they are usually the biggest...

Doug

Doug you need to take out the 3.0 Yamaha and get a 3.2 in there. You get a 20 ft lb bump in torque. Gut out the silencer in the air box and 73mm mass air. Then when the secondaries open it is a lot more fun. Oh yeah the v6 SHO's were way better than the v8s.
