So what is everybody's plans for this year, engine wise?

Mine are:
65mm Focus Central TB
Snow Performance water/meth injection
2.3 pulley
obtaining a block so I can get to building a bulletproof engine........

Performance Intake Manifold
Custom TB Spacer (yeah thats right!)
Add A Plenum To My Intake
Cams
Header (in about a week)
Raise Compression
3 or 5 Angle Valve Job
Swap My 2.25" Exhaust For A 2.5"
Visit ADC For A Tune (Should be at 200BHP).

Not engine related;
Install my BAT suspension (when it arrives)
Install Rear Drum-To-Disc Converson (parts sitting in my garage)
Get Some Lightwieght 16" Rims (probably just some SVTC rims)

Call the car done!

Non-engine related:

Installing possibly a new suspension

Some aestetic mods

Performance:

Under Drive pulley kit
Optimized Throttle Body
ATX cooler
Timing belt (

)
Intake (just like sleeper Z's setup with the stock airbox)
New valve cover
Chip (still not sure about this)
SVT exhaust
And if I get really really brave, ATX-MTX swap.

Aesthetic mods:

New paint job
16" rim's (unknown right now, prolly some rota slipstreams)
Pre-98 Lip spoiler
Fog lights
Interior paint

Audio:

Replace the stock speakers with some good ones
New head unit (as the one I have no longer works

)

Thats about it, of course my mod list will change considerably if I can find a MTX zetec with low mileage

if I were you, I would get SE skirts before a lip spoiler... or both, since you are going to get a new paint job, mide as well add a little more to the appearance, it wont cost much more to get the SE skirts painted while the car is being painted...
