Hell yeah.. the ZX2s (any year except for 98) rock.. I absolutely love mine and although I do miss my 95 lx Nothing could replace my Z... Yeah parts are out there (not cheap) and you really have to watch what you buy because very little of the parts made for the Zetec engine actually fit the ZX2 due to the focus not having the VCT that the ZX2 does (this mostly deals with heads, intakes, and engine dress products) how ever you will be able to use the same throttle bodies, headers, and most pulleys.
Anywho...Great cars, their quick, they stick, and they look pretty damn good just sitting still...
