I was just wondering if there is any cars out
there that a 2nd gen pro can beat in a race.
I have a 96 pro auto and for it to only have
92 or so hp it's pretty quick. A friend has a 94 civic dx
and his seems kinda slow. But enyways, does anyone
out there have a 95 or 96 that has won a few races?

bubbashane

ok, cool.
that makes me feel alot better.
I just didnt want to get out here
and someone try to screw with me
and then me try to race them and get left
in the dust.

ya sup guys. I've raced a couple of times usually at Darlington International Dragstrip in Darlington, SC. I've only beat two cars so far, Ford ZX3 and a Chevy Xtreme. Unfortunately,my car is running 18.5s at the track with my friend Chevis driving. The best I've had was a 19.3. I'm thinking that This could have been caused by the flowmaster I had and the exhaust leak. I'm not sure if my slow times can also be in result of my gutted cat which takes out backpressure. I'm just wondering if anyone has raced in the track. I have a 1995 1.5l Protege and it's a stick. I've got the intakea s well. One thing about the intake. On the intake manifold there is a adjustment screw to control the Air/Fuel Mixture. I'm wondering where some of the people who have the intake has the screw set at. Either completely up (open) or completely down (closed) or in between. Well Let me know when you guys got a chance.

dude he wanted to know about 1.5L's beatin people... of course you can... your car kicks @ss us lowly 1.5's are more restricted on who we can beat...

bubbashane

lol

How is it that a 95 or 96 pro is a stick but
has a 1.5 engine? Didnt the stick come with a 1.6l?
Just curious because alot of ppl have been talking
about their 1.5's with sticks.

Also, like someone had stated before, mine says
special edition on the door jamb. What's that mean?

protegeboy78

considering in the states that the only engines available are 1.8L in the se or es edition and the 1.5L in all other editions of the 95-96 protege that would explain why no one talks about 1.6L's cause they do'nt exist

pin0yi30y

i believe the 1.6l came out in 99. all 2nd gens were either 1.8's or 1.5's.

bubbashane

ok well that shyows you that im a dumbass

but as i was saying, sticks didnt come with the 1.5's did they?

protegeboy78

if i had a stick and a1.8 i'd be the happiest guy alive right now... well maybe not that happy but still...

i have a 1.5 with stick.... as does bruce and many others

bubbashane

what edition are they? es?

i've never heard of a lx or dx with them.

when you say stick do you mean manual or automatic?
some ppl get confused.

Well as we all know, the ES models of the 2nd gen all come with the 1.8l's. To my knowledge, manual tranmissions can come with any edition. I've seen 1.5l's with automatic, one of my friends locally and one with manual... Me....
Stick = Manual Drive ..

bubbashane

k. thanx. didnt know that.

how much slower is a auto compared to a stick
in the 2nd gen 1.5's? could the auto keep up at topend?

also, since i couldnt get a reply from my other post can
you or someone tell me a good muffler that i could purchase
for under $200?

bubbashane

ok thanx, i didnt know that

can the 2nd gen 1.5 autos keep up in topend vs. the
manuals?

also, i couldnt get a reply in one of my other threads so
im gonna try here. can someone please tell me a good
muffler that i could buy for under $200?

thanx.
