That's exactly why I bought them! I've seen M3/M5's around w/ similar rims and I fell in love.
I don't think "no mods" is written in stone, although the easiest first mod is usually an intake and this car is a PZEV (Practically Zero Emission Vehicle) so the intake is locked up and servicealbe at 100K mile intervals. Folks on FocalJet have found some nice work-arounds though

Came from Ford w/ the 2.3L. They offered it starting in '03 in CA, NY (and 1 other "green" state). Starting in '04 it was available in all states as an option. It's a really nice engine...and it has a timing chain so no belts to replace like the 2.0L Focus Zetec.

yeah basically its a mazda engine, as much as I like the zetec, the 2.3L is a better engine... Although, I HATE the way its setup in the engine bay
BUH! must be a PITA to change the spark plugs. Although im happy that car manufactorers putting the engine in the way it SHOULD be. I mean, it makes sence to have the intake manifold at the front and exhaust manifold at the back... What an awesome engine.
UGH! that would make installing a supercharger SOOO EASY!

How do you figure??? Its got coil on plug, and doesn't even have a coil cover . . . pop the coil off and put a socket on an extension down in the hole . . . not that tough.
