Hey whats up? I'm new to this site, but I'm an old Zetec tuner from way back when. I used to own a 2000 ZX2 S/R (with lots of goodies from the factory and from myself!) I sold it after breaking my back last year, and have finally gotten out of my '93 Thunderbird into a Silver 05 ZX3 (manual transmission of course!) But to my dismay, I found that I have the tree hugger 2.0 that won't even let me pop in a K&N filter. I want to learn as much as I can about my Focus, and the new Mazda duratecs. First things first: Can I safely ditch the low emissions airbox to get my car up to the 136 horse that the regular ones have? Please tell me everything I need to know about the air intake and exhaust changes on my 130 horsepower "detuned" 2.0 I want to make "mazda power" or 148 horses out of my car within a couple of months.

The Duratec forum will have all your answers: Link

There's a good FAQ at the top and if you search, I'm sure you'll find what your looking for. If you can't find it, just ask.

Oh, and welcome to Focaljet.

Welcome to the jet! BTW you know between Saint Louis and Rolla (neither of which is a horrible drive for you) there's quite a few jetters to hang out with? Check the Team Midwest forum if you haven't already.

Hey cool I bought my Focus 2 days ago exactly 60 miles between St. Louis and Rolla (in Sullivan, MO). I go over there often, and will be more now for free carwashes and oil changes!!

I bought my 05 when they first came out in Tennesse and didn't get a d@mn thing but a hand shake and a knife in the back...lol. I love my focus though. Plus I don't have to worry about anything cuz I'm a ford technician so I know excatly whats goin on with my car.

Ford Technicians don't always know everything, if they did, they would resolve issues once and not repeatedly

hard to believe the computers they are giving away are $2000, wow thats quite the deal then isnt it....

I rather ford, um I dunno, made the car BETTER instead of giving away a dell to make up for the cars shortcomings. Ya know maybe bring over the C1 platform focus…

I know crazy thought, make a car that sells itself, not sells because it comes with a computer…

Now it might be cool if ford started giving away a free carputer or navigation system instead of the standard HU. At least that would be an improvement to the car not a stand alone incentive that is completely un car related.

And there is no way a celeron system is worth $2,000, oh wait I forgot it’s a “dell”
