Get the 240 much better platform to mod. Much cheaper aswell because of popularity. I really like the proteges but with the same money you could make the 240 much faster.

it's much faster to begin with.

i got ahold of the guy again...

the car also had that one somethin somethin 20 (or whatever) motor swap
and gears were grinding like hell (when clutch an shit worked)

i guess they swapped in the motor wrong huh?

MC May 17, 2005 08:20 PM

well if its 20 it could be the SR20 or even the RB20.... both which r exerllent engines...

as for gears grindin me not have a clue hehe... i am sho other members may be able to help u out on that...

i got plenty of theories from my people at school. some say the motor mounts are done wrong or bent during the motor swap. the engine isn't balanced, the tranny is shot (no f'n duhh), and the clutch is messed up (again, no f'n duhh)
