Help with a build please

Hi, I'm new to the forums and I was hoping I could get some help as far as putting some parts onto my Focus. I have a 2004 ZX3 that I'm looking to throw some money into this summer, and I was wondering if you guys had any suggestions as to what I could do to it at a relatively affordable price as I'm a college student living on my own.

Cheers, Brad.

Moving this to "Zetec Performance" for the time being. What exactly are you wanting to upgrade? Performance or cosmetic upgrades? The reason I moved this to Zetec Performance for now is because you have not specified what motor you have or what your intentions are. Once you verify those, I will move it again if needed.

I would like to upgrade the performance, cosmetics aren't an issue for me right now. I have the 2.0L Zetec engine.

I would first start with a tune.

After that, I would check the BST for Zetec performance upgrades for: 65MM TB, SVT header conversion, SVT airbox with snorkel and K&N drop-in filter. Then upgrade the suspension and motor mounts so you can maximize the useability of the mods. After that keep modding!

Good luck and happy modding

Thanks for the info, Pyro. Checked out what he's offering and it sounds like a great deal, and a great place to start! Hopefully by fall I'll have a car worth posting on here! Haha.
