This year, my kids are asking what I want for my 50th. birthday. They don't have a lot of cash, but, I am thinking of a performance modification in the neighbourhood of $300.00. What can be done for this amount?

I would say UDP, intake, and for a little more investment on your part, exhaust.

Voliant CAI, I think they are under $300 now, I saw them listed at $250 USD about a month ago.
I was the only member on this board with a Yellow Focus Sedan, and a 2002+ Euro Facelift on a sedan.

My Focus is a 2000, and the stock exhaust is still on it and in perfect shap (dam Krown Rust control ;) So I'm replacing mine regardless with a MBRP.

Intake for sure. More power per dollar than an exhaust, and proper intakes look, sound and perform AMAZING. Go nuts.

Well I have to agree with the majority. Do an intake on your Focus. The first thing I put on was a K&N Typhoon intake system. The sound is good and it was very easy to install. Also I will be installing some lowering springs and an underdrive pulley in the near future.
