High-Performance Ford Focus Builder’s Handbook

The Ford Focus is one of the top selling sport compact cars – and for good reason. Well built, inexpensive, good looking, and with snappy performance, the Focus is catching on fast.
But if you're a Ford Focus owner, you want more: More horsepower, better braking, flatter cornering, better looks. This book shows you what it takes to turn your Focus into a Honda beater!

Author Richard Holdener is a frequent contributor to Sport Compact Car, Muscle Mustangs & Fast Fords, and HCI magazines, and he specializes in dyno testing high performance cars and components.

In these pages, Holdener shows Focus owners exactly what it takes to improve their car's performance, from simple modifications like installing a new air intake to radical mods like installing a turbocharger or nitrous oxide injection. The author also shows what these modifications can do, with before-and-after dyno tests for each modification. In fact, you'll find 55 before-and-after dyno test results of popular performance modifications, along with five detailed engine build ups.

The final chapters include extensive info on suspension and brake modifications for better handling and braking.
