Been in two Group Buys, OBX Header and AWR Oil Pan, and both went flawlessly. You kept everyone updated and we got a good deal! Thanks again!

Ken always takes care of me no matter how late I call or how stupid my orders are. Couldn't ask for more.

Just ordered some front Hawk brake pads (on 28 Feb). Great price. They showed up today. Ken gave me e-mail info on my order each step of the way. I wish all my on-line buying was this good.

I couldnt agree more. Bought a Begi Fuel Pressure Regulator and was more than thrilled with the service and shipping time. Thanks.

I haven't dealt with Ken as far as business yet, but hope to in the future. It would be great if Ken carried things for my application Protege. I (along with a lot of others) have the 1.6 liter 00 model sedan. It would be great if maybe a item or two made it onto the website for us. From a personal standpoint, Ken is top notch. Ive talked with him a couple times and he seems like a great guy.

What kind of other things are you looking for exactly?
My experience with the Thunder header showed me that there just isn't a lot of interest for the 1.6 stuff. You and Mac excluded, look at it from mine and, I'm sure Ken's perspective.
I found and imported a fairly reasonably-priced (and very good quality) piece for the 1.6ers, something that had NEVER been available, and on three different forums I sold a total of six.
That's it. Six.
Doesn't really give anyone trying to sell this stuff much of a warm-fuzzy, ya know?

Yeah, I know whatcha mean. But from my (and Im sure a lot of other 1.6ers) perspective, when there isn't a lot of product out for us 1.6 guys, it makes customizing our vehicles.....not worth it. See where Im coming from? I mean, I love modding my car so Im going to do it regardless until I get tired of it. But I will admit that on occasion, I get a little depressed because nothing is available to us. I see the 1.8/2.0 guys get all the goodies and us 1.6ers left out. I would love to have pistons, cam gears, engine mods available to me. Id love to have more than one turbo kit available to me. I would love to engine management kits available to me. Plus a bunch of other things I can't recall right now.

But I do see what you and Ken mean though. Im just saying that it would be nice to have a couple more things available. Thats all. Maybe it would be possible to produce one-offs on occasion??

kargoboy March-13th-2006 01:30 PM

It's fun to find this stuff, though.

And back on-topic, my intake mani came as ordered and looks great.
There just aren't enough good things to say about Ken.

steve_protege March-14th-2006 08:13 AM

Like right there. If I could find a better flowing IM, that would be great. But something like that isn't available to me. Thats when I get a bit depressed, when I want something to help improve my car, but its not "available" to me. So yeah..... thats not cool. But anywho, I know Ken does what he can so I appreciate that. I imagine that as soon as he gets something new or has info for us, he is quick to deliver it. Thanks for doing what you do, Ken!!

Thumbs up to Protege Garage! I ordered a set of Tokico HP's on 3/20 and they arrived 3/23. Excellent communication via email during each stage of order/shipment. Thanks Ken!

Im trying to talk with Ken about getting a hold of the MSP/MP3 rear skirt and lip, but haven't been able to get a hold of him. Ive heard from him once and thats it. Tried contacting him through here and msprotege.com and still no replies. Don't know the reason as to why I can't get in contact with him because I know that usually he is quick to respond to anyones questions or part requests.

Ordered my B&M shifter, it showed up today(a day earlier than Fed-ex's estimated delivery time). Very pleased.

Does this thread really need to exist? Everyone in the protege community knows how much Ken kicks ass. There is no other vendor in the world I would buy from unless Ken can't get the part, simple as that.

See, that's why I ordered from him in the first place. Just thought I would give a shout out. I lingered over my decision for a long time (vs. Kartboy), Ken's reputation sealed the deal.
