Alright...the Zetec and/or SPI, especially bolted to the auto is not gonna be overly powerful. Since everyone else here said having a auto foci that is powerful is a waste of your time...do this instead...
The Focus' forte is steering/handling, and decent braking...even in stock form. You can have a car that corners with ridiculous ease, and for not much money. Looking at about $3000 if you include a suspension kit (springs, dampners, swaybars and bushings), a set of rims and tires, and a strut tower bar. If you shop around, you can find deals on all of those things. You might even have money left over that you can set aside for better brakes.
This is the approach I'm taking with my car...I know it's no powerhouse, so I'm making it a good handling car so I can annoy other drivers in the twisties...lol. Mind you, I also have a decent stereo too, and the exterior is gonna be a US/Euro hybrid...
I'd just get the exhaust and intake and TB and some ignition wires, and spend the rest on handling, braking, etc.
