Roll-Call...Original Pro People
 

I waited long enough, i had to post SOMETHING here, i couldn't bear for this 1st Gen subforum to remian empty........and this is the best i came up with....sad but true...slow day....anyway, lets get underway....I guess i'll start...

Darryl
1990 (the very first year of the Protege)
LX 1.8L DOHC
some niffty mods
I have a pretty extensive hands-on website about the car, complete with install how-tos, plenty of photos, high quality audio and security products and other cool stuff. I also have a small window tint/alarm shop in HB, CA.

Anyway, check out the site and if you have a first gen it's very helpful. There are links to plenty of other Protege sites, all gens, vendors and manufacturers.

BTW, the subject title...it just happened that way.....:rolleyes:

well the only thing on the outside of mine that gives any indication that it is fast ..... is the 'factory' "turbo intercooled" stickers .....:p

I got a 93 DX 5 speed with 17" rims wrapped in 205/40ZR17 kumho rubber, a hayame muffler, jvc kameleon stereo, 1 farad cap, 1000 boss amp, 3 jl 12" w6's, 2 audiobahn 6x9 (i hate these), a Ractive heat shield cone filter, sprint springs with 2" drop, and am currently working on getting some tokicos for the springs. i'm in the middle of custom molding a 99-00 civic black widow front bumper to my car too! :D

Jesse, I initialy went through Zane, but ended up going through Corksport in the end.

Since Jesse just told me about this board this morning, I thought I'd drop by and have a look.

Welcome to the board David!

Nice to have your input here, i'm positive it will be a great asset to the list. Also great to have a fellow 90 LX in the ranks :D

BTW, i am trying desperately to get to the 28th event at Buttonwillow. Will you be there?

I'll be there both days. I have a points lead (1.1 points) to maintain.:D
