COMPLETE BULLOCKS......ive read that b4 sumware......but simply the 1.6ltr fez can reach 154bhp quite simply.. just need about 3 parts from Pumaspeed.... a port and polish wouldnt go astray and a decent pod filter would help.......but it still wont be a ST or XR4....which i do belive you can get up to 200bhp....

Everycar has its fair share of problems. Focus has dodgy fuel pumps the fez has dodgy water pumps (In europe b4 the oz release)

well to tell you the truth i think 17" on either the lx or zetec is fine but i think cause the suspension on the ST you actually feel more...like the zetec and LX seem softer......obviously.....like i just got the 17" rims on my car....and i have noticed better turning....but no picking up everything in the road...and trust me the roads i drive on are crap...
