So what do you have planned for your car in the way of modification?

Well, I haven't done much so far... LOL. I've changed the tired old stock plugs for some NGK Iridiums (TR55-1IX-7316) and upped to 94 octane gas. I'm getting a new cluster from someone on FocusFanatics because my cluster doesn't have a tach, the one he's selling me does. Going to mod the cluster before I install it too.

I'm still figuring out exactly what CAN be done. There's not that much available for the SPI. Plus there's not much point of doing too much to the SPI because if I was going to do that, might as well trade it in for a Zetec to start with.

I know I'm going to get a tune from Wayne @ Hypnotics, get the governor off and re-calibrate for 94 octane. Probably start with throwing on a cold air intake as well.

I'm still trying to find things like a ceramic clutch, a lower final output gear and a lighter flywheel, but doesn't seem like they exist for the IB5.

From what I gather and what's I've found out so far, seems like I'll have to stick to mostly esthetic modding.
