It all depends, if you want to keep the car for a long time, then go ahead. If you plan on getting rid of it in 3-4 years I would be cautious and just do things you can undo.
Not driving the car for 2 years also is only good if you are keeping the car because it won't help the resale at all.
I think:
-Suspension kit (shocks/springs or coilovers) $1000
-Stereo ~$1000
-Good rubber for stock rims ~$600-$800
-Exhaust ~$500
That leaves you with about $1700-$2000 give of take, the problem here is that you can spend 2k on engine mods like intake, cams, header etc. but if your ultimate goal is to turbo/supercharge I would save the money until you can buy a kit. Just because it's kind of a waste.
Unless you can find used parts then it's much better since reselling them you don't lose as much money.
So if you can find used I would get:
-Header
-intake
-cams
-PCM tuning
You could probably squeeze all that in the $1700 but I'm not sure how the market for used parts for the 05's is.
IMHO if you do the above you'de have an all around great Focus that you would enjoy.
