Hey, so my name is Charles on social media platforms I go as V_Scope20.
Throughout the years i was never really active on TeamZX2, ZX2Motorsports, or FEOA but I was more of a "lurker" but I plan on being a lot more active and hope this forum livens up. I got my first ZX2 in January of 2015 and got hooked since... over time I have owned multiple zx2's and currently own two.
The list goes:
98 black MTX
99 grey ATX (My daily)
00 grey MTX (my project)
Feel free to ask me any questions I would be glad to help out.
For those interested in my two cars I will be making a separate build log for both!

I checked their site yesterday after posting that, I can't find the zetec head anymore if i ever had that kind of money to drop i wanted one of those heads. ive never heard of anyone using one before, maybe it was more common on the focus forums, idk. but if the flow numbers i remember seeing years ago for it are correct it will be a monster. id feed it boost, all that extra flow would go unused in an NA setup, i think anyhow. i like boost
