After a few days of thinking and hunting ebay ive decided to lower the focus find some sexy alloys, and find a way of making the 1.6 zetec lump move a touch faster lol

I believe the larger throttle body from the 1.8 or 2.0 after is a direct fit. Bit better air flow but I can't be held on that

Also and I only found this out as I had a 1.8 t reg focus as a winter donkey a few year back. There's a rubber hose at the back of the engine quite thick. Feel it when it's running if it's soft change it. Honest to god the difference was immense it literally felt like it had an St 170 lump dropped in it. As a cheap fix and help get a universal filter from a,azon and also try some new Bosch super 4 spark plugs I highly recomend them. They are really good I always use them now
