Hopefully by the end of this week i'll have money, transfer done on it, and by next week be driving it. 91 Protege DX 5 speed, used to be my cousins car. I had looked at another protege earlier, but it had more problems than this one. 140,000 miles, new timing belt and water pump, runs fine, clutch is still pretty good, tranny is fine. I've been lookin around at the various protege sites and this one looks to be the best. I'll try to post some pics later. Now some questions:

1. I notice the majority of people here are into Auto-X, and not too many are into drag. Test driving the car, I was able to chirp the tires slipping the clutch pretty quickly, so what would the 5 spd run stock?

2. I've already decided that the clutch will probably need to be swapped within about 5k-10k miles, are there any good aftermarket clutches for the 1st gen Protege?

3. Any good suspension parts? I wanna put this car on rails.

Thanks for all the help

 

check ppl's sigs, and search...not to be an *** or anything...


but clutch-act, centerforce, clutchmasters all make clutches for the pro

suspension-sprint,h&r,eibach,intrax all make lowering springs, and tokico, kyb, and many more make struts...ground control also makes coilovers and daryll makes tie bars and strut bars
