  1. General Technical Chat
    I've been working on a 03 LX with a 2.3L engine. This car was my uncle's who passed away last year and his son did not want it, so it was left to me. After I finally got it to pass Cal SMOG and registered (big ordeal). I had the A/C system recharged. A/C blows cold now it's starting to get...

  3. MK1 Focus
    I have a 2003 Ford Focus SE 2.3L Wagon with 136k miles that shudders/struggles to start up when cold. Any ideas for what to look for? I have 4 new spark plugs New starter New valve gasket cover New fuel filter When I put the dash into test mode, fuel pressure was reading around 40 PSI so I...
  4. DURATEC Performance (2003-2007)
    Hey everyone, I’m new around here. Just bought a zx4 ST with the intentions of modding it, any thoughts on good first mods? I’ve heard that the suspension on 06+ models of the old ST’s are pretty soft.
  5. DURATEC Parts (2003-2011)
    I have some parts I want to get rid of from my 2.3 to 2.5 swap. I'm located in Southeast Florida for anybody who wants to pickup.

  6. Want To Buy
    I'm looking for an FSWerks header for a Duratec 2.3/2.5 and the flex to go with it. If you have a wideband too that would be cool. EDIT: I already purchased the items in question. No longer needed.

  8. Engine & Transmission Swap
    I found a place around where I live that has a 04 SVT engine that doesnt have the water pump for $1000. Think it would be worth it to swap that with my 2.0 SPI? I know that I would have to get a new tranny too so I'm also looking into that.
  9. ZETEC Performance (2000-2004)
    I am confused. I have a 2003 Ford Focus ZX3. I know for a fact that it's a Zetec, because of the VIN number, however it's a 2.3L. Is this possible? I only seem to be able to find things regarding to a 2.0L Zetec. I know I have the PZEV motor, too, which I hate!! I want to rip off the PZEV intake...
