how about 8500 and a 99 protege, engine runs and would only need some minor body work to at-least make it a good daily driver........?

 

how about $9500 and buying my p5 so I can go collect my new car? I'll even drive it up to Chicago and you can pick it up there.

 

i have the slightest idea about getting it to canada! hmm.

 

alright i dono what to do, p5 or p es? hmmmm what would be better to race with? im leaning to a 2003 protege es but now i need to know what i can do to make it fly! ive drove a sentra se-r spec-v lately and that is one hell of a car (its the fucken ugliest thing ive ever seen) but it goes like hell! what do i do to a 2L proto to make it do that and more? turbo or engine swap? is there any crate engines out there that will fit? like a 2.3 or 2.5L or is turbo the way to go???

 

If you're buying any kind of Protege to race ... don't buy one at all. It's possible to make it fast, with a turbo kit being your best bang for the buck (and easiest to accomplish ..) but it's still not very cost-effective. The cars are simply not meant to go that fast without serious modifying ...

Engine swaps are not very common, and there are very few options available that will simply drop in and bolt up without much modifying. Turbo is the way to go, but you're very limited without rebuilding the internals as well, so let's just say that in order to make a Protege "race capable" you're lookin at a pretty good sum of money.

 

ya im down, its worth the money to me, that car kicks ***, what else looks better then a speed protege?

 

whats the best turbo kit for the 2L anybody gone through all this **** already and know what to and what not to do.

 

which p es you talking about? the p5 is matty's, p es supposed to be mine? if so... mines a msp (w/ turbo already)

just so ya know, i used to race a girl I worked w/ all the time in her spec-v, pulled on her slightly...
