I AM the random post master...bow down
Nice looking car. We've had a few come into the station for oil changes and they rode very nice and the power wasnt bad for what it was. Another customer had a newer accord and it would spin the tires taking off and it was an auto. It had a nice smooth acceleration, but I like the feel of getting thrown back in the seat better

Nice little car.. I don't know man, you just bought it and you are already saying it is a little under powered.. not a good sign... but that is just me....
It's got enough power for a daily driver, I just meant it needs a little more to be really fun. Keep in mind my other ride has over 500HP, so of course everything else is gonna feel slow. 
160HP in a 2700lb car moves pretty good tho, and it should be good for high 15's in the 1/4 if I ever race it.

Nice, car! I'm sure you'll LOVE it. I love my focus and the two share a lot in common. I like the color too!

I bought a 27" monitor to compensate for my lack o
Excellent choice, Mike! That car looks great, the color stands out big time. Just remember that stang once in a while eh!

I'm not making fun of your car, I just found this funny. Nice car by the way.
I just remembered why I use to love backroads before I got my truck! This thing is an absolute blast to drive through the curves! 
As far as mods go, when I get the cash Im gonna add a factory wing, then possibly some rims. In a year or two I'll probably do some performance mods, like CAI and exhaust(no fart cannons). If I keep it long enough to pay it off, Im thinking a small turbo should completely take care of that power problem.

I think so....I found this on Mazda's website, "Type-L3V 2.3L DOHC 16-valve inline 4-cylinder with dual balance shafts, 160 @ 6500 rpm, 150 @ 4500 rpm". It also has Variable-Valve Timing(VTEC yo!
)DaveB, that's some pretty good power from a 2.3L! That's what I would like to do with mine once I get it paid off(in 6 years!
).BrutalStang, Im not sure how much is shared between the 3 and the focus, but I've heard that the focus will be moved over to 3's platform in the next year or two.
Jesse, I've tried to get on the dyno a couple times but it hasn't happened yet. Im hoping to get a free run sometime soon tho. In fact, I'll email my friend right now to see what's up with that!
