Hello!I've owned my Focus MKII Trend 2013 for around a year, currently on ~168,000 KMs, and I've been wondering if there's any performance parts/upgrades I can do in order to improve handling and/or power.I know car tuning/upgrading isn't like Wangan Midnight Maximum Tune where you can magically pull an extra 700hp outta thin air, but I figure there must be something I can do or look at in order to make my car perform a little better than stock.All of the parts I see online though are for the RS/ST variants, so I'm not even sure If i can get anything full stop, hence why I'm asking here.

Assuming it's a regular 2 litre petrol, a tune won't give much of a power increase for the money you're spending, and an exhaust and cold air intake system won't also add too much power (if any) for the money you spend... You can play around with the suspension, and put ST rims, etc for better handling, but my best piece of advice would be to sell the regular Focus and buy an ST, as there will already be more power out of the box, much more tuning potential, and better resale value... Also, is your car auto or manual? The Power shift automatics can't even handle stock power, and apparently the manuals aren't very robust when more power is added to them, but they're better than the autos... |
