I know the MS Protege has an engine thats VERY similar to that of the 1st gen Probe GTs and Mazda MX6 GTs. May be worth looking into whether or not the turbo exhaust manifold from one of those would bolt onto that car. It may allow you to build a turbo setup pretty cheap if you can get away using some parts from those.

UUhhhggg.

God i hate ricers. Why put a spoiler that severly hurts your preformace? Seat covers look kinda tacky IMO also.

Not to mention thats alot of money going into that car, maybe it would be better to save it and maybe buy something else down the line?

As I said, I don'tmind any of it.

Make sure you paint any body kit that ends up on the car. Nothing looks worse then an unpainted kit. Get it installed properly so theres no gaps. I don't like decals, whether it be stripes or otherwise. Again, personal opinion, nothing more. And I hate seat covers. If you want your seats to look different buy new seats. Thats just my opinion. And my style is ALWAYS performance over looks, so were it me I'd be doing engine stuff. But thats what I'd do with MY car.

lol understandable guys. i bought the car with the flow master on it. he said he bought it for performance,  which is fine. as for my engine, i can't afford the super, or turbo, charger right now, so i'm thinking of putting on the turbonator, www.turbonator.com it got some good ratings in the mags. give me your opinion, and if you have one, how is it?

you could save yourself some money and have a whole lot more like gps and others stuff with a carputer.
go to mp3car.com and read up.
that 60gb thing isnt worth that much, i'd rather have a 200 with tons of dvix movies and mp3s vs 60 gbs or mp3s
but thats just me
