Hi, I'm Brent and just purchased this 2003 Focus 2.3L PZEV ZX3 (base model with roll up windows and no cruise-control) from my boss at Focus Central/Central Coast Mustang a.k.a. Zzapp Motorsports in Tehachapi. I lucked out and got the "friends and family" discount! :)

This baby only has 9800 miles on it. Here's a list of the mods and some pics to go with it. Its my daily driver. Sign my guestbook and I'll sign yours, and give me suggestions. Enjoy!

This Focus is affectionately named "Cracker", my nickname at work at Focus Central (I'm the only white guy working there right now).

This bad boy dyno'd at 150whp/148wtq, not bad for a few bolt-ons, and should be good for 14's on street tires at a good track.
Well, Here are some shots of my new RS style bumper!
