I would like your opinions please...

[protegeman03]

I would like to introduce myself, I am Eddie Joyce I am 17 and live in N.C. I am a pretty new member and this my first official post(I replied to a pm).

I have been observing and have learned that there is some very knowlegable protege (and tuning ingeneral) people. I have a 2001 Mazda Protege LX (auto) . I LOVE IT!!! I also would love to have a MSProtege, they are bad! (Proteges are better than Civics!!!) I might could afford one this summer when I get a full-time job! I don't know if I should try to get one or mod my protege? The Wings West kit is awesome!

I have found plenty of other goodies for it too! I don't know which would be better in the long run! I don't need or want to put A-LOT of $$$ into a car. I don't want something to race, but have good performance and style.(Some of you may say rice but, I would not classify it that way.) The fs-ze engines are awesome too. (if I changed my mind about racing) How much performance can I get out of an auto tranny?

I will appreciate all opinions and Thanx ahead of time!!!

For anyone: Go to www.nopi.com and enter your car and you can get a list of everything for it!

I've found Cold air intes, headers , a BORLA CATBACK EXHAUST (can't believe it would like to see results) and much more...

eh, personally i wouldnt waste any money trying to make a 1.8L automatic fast.

just my personal opinion.

its the same thing i said to myself when i thought about modding my 92 1.8L automatic LX.
