Since KrayzieFox can't read, 4000 with BLOWN MOTOR and one set of wheels.
As much as I love and enjoy this car, I am ready to move on to something else (bought an S2000). Let me make this clear: I do NOT want to part out. Some one is more than welcome to buy it and then do so, you'd probably make money that way but it is not worth the trouble for me
So anyway... on to the car! It is an '02 Black Mica Protege5. Currently has 72000 miles on it. I have title in hand, car is located in Des Moines Iowa. Quaife differential, new ACT clutch, new flywheel surface, new throwout and pilot bearing within the past 200 miles.
Now the big list... mods
# MSP exhaust manifold and turbo (8-9psi, making 200whp)
# Boostsciences RDV
# Turbolife FMIC
# Mircotech LT8s
# Zeitronix wideband AFR/boost/EGT gauge and logging
# Walboro fuel pump, WRX 440cc injectors
# Turbosmart MBC
# 2 12" electric cooling fans
# Pioneer CD/mp3 player with iPod hookup, Insignia speakers up front
# DaveB rings
# AWR oil pan
# GHL 3" down pipe, GHL full exhaust
# ProtegeGarage 626 intake manifold
# Apexi air filter w/ custom intake (1" fittings for turkey killing)
# ACT Street clutch (200 miles on it, will include spare ACT)
# Fidanza 7lb flywheel
# Quaife LSD
# Cryo treated gears
# Empire short shifter, Honda shift knob, Kartboy bushings
# Pedders bushings in control arms
# AWR Bilstein coilovers (450# front, 600# rear)
# Camber/caster plates front, AWR spherical mounts rear
# AWR 21.5mm rear sway bar w/ adj. endlinks
# AWR front & rear motor mounts, side inserts
# Corksport rear strut bar
# Stainless steel brake and clutch lines
# Porterfield pads in front, Rotora plain jane rotors
# ARP extended studs up front, Turfburn wheel spacers
# 16x7 Enkei RPF1s with 205/55/16 Bridgestone RE01R
# 16x8 FD RX7 wheels
# DGM front lip, DGM grille
# JDM tail lights
# Blacked out headlights
# Momo steering wheel
# Sparco 4 point harness
# recently replaced wheel bearings, hub and control arm on one side
Included:
Stock injectors (might help with fuel related problems, but will need a retune)
Interior (currently removed)
Concerns on the car:
The AWRs are very, very stiff and loud. This can be fixed by sending them to AWR. They shorten the bodies so it doesn't shimmy.
The Microtech needs a better tune to make driveability favorable. The main problem is idling. When you are flogging it, the car drives great!
The car hates gas. It gets poor gas mileage, and doesn't like to fill up all the way. Some sort of evap system problem, can't figure it out.
Body has some dings, but no rust or major issues. No A/C. No cruise control.
Transmission occasionally comes out of 3rd and 4th gear easily. Doesn't happen all the time. Not sure what the deal is, but every thing appears to operate fine (been 200 miles since new transmission with Quaife has been in).
