I'm looking at this guy as a possible replacement for my aging ZX3 as well, that's why I'm curious about it so much

I know that the suspension changed in '06, but the last time I checked (I'll admit that I'm much more knowledgeable about the '05- Focus than the newer ones) there was little to do suspension-wise. Is that still the case now?
I could be wrong, but the Ford hype-up about the car hinted at changes in the engine department, but I'm with you in thinking that it's mainly going to effect exhausts and the FS turbo and not smaller things like intakes, etc. Once I get Photoshop back on this computer I may try to give it a go, but in Cloud 9 White with the right wheels and stance, this thing may not look too bad afterall
