need performance parts for my 98 1.5L protege
 

well good luck... the only piece you will find will be the intake made by weapon R, ractive, and one other one... but cams and cam gears are definitly out.. trust me ive looked for about 2 yers now and none to be found... I could tell you about 30 places taht have them for hte 1.8 but not for the 1.5 sorry dude

Actually, GUDE (gude.net) makes cams for the 1.5 I believe. All you'll gain is about 10 hp for about 500 dollars which i find useless. Unless your willing to spend at least 1500 to get the head package which includes the cams, and port and polish the head. With the head package, they said its dyno'd up to a 40 hp gain. And you can find a cam gear for a 1.5l protege from Corksport. Pistons.. I aint really sure about dat. Haven't seen any around. Like the other guy said, parts for the 1.5l are hard as hell. Intake you can find either through nopionline.com . I would advise, go to nopionline for your model and corksport. That's basically the easiest place you can find parts for our car.

Someone asked a similar question on Protegetech and Vaughan replied that there are cams but they would have to be imported from outside North America.

Gude Performance http://gude.net makes throttle bodies for the 1.5L z5 engine

You can also get a cold-air intake from www.essentialspeed.com
