Hey Guyz, I've been reading the forum for a few days, and you all seem pretty knowledgeable. So I just thought I'd get some of your opinions on my Focus situation.
I needed a winter ride, and I decided to go with a Focus... but time was running out, and the best deal I could find was a 2001, ZX3, Automatic (sadly, I couldn't find nice 5-speed in my area). Being a winter ride, and a daily driver, I don't really want to go all out nutz on mods and upgrades ... however, I would like to make it more fun to drive, and besides, it's fun to screw around with your car! So really I'm looking for best-bang-for-the-buck parts, and upgrades. If you guys could gimmie your opinion on the following (brand, where to buy, etc), I'd appreciate it. So far the car is stock...
Ignition: would it be worth upgrading to a MSD coilpack, wires, and plugs?
CAI: Being a winter ride, I was thinking a short ram to help keep the filter cleaner... would a cheap ebay setup work fine, or what's the general recommendation?
Exhaust: OBX or sudo race header? I don't need to pass emitions. how about the rest of the exhaust?High Flow cats? Off road? I dunno...
... is there anything else you'd recommend?? [confused]
