My point is, at the end of the day it's an accord. Sorry, but to me that is enough to change my mind.
Fastest klze swap?

lol that is just plain hate. ive driven tons of makes and models and the accord has been one of the best. if this mazda had a better motor it would be fantastic. sadly, it doesnt. so to me at the end of the day i just drive a protege :/

I understand that. Thats why you should get another motor. 
I actually like most Hondas. Just not for my toy. They make good daily's though. It was mostly hate though. (kiss)

I like the idea of a Karma. You can go wrong with a VW. Insanely cheap to fix.

Well my phone thinks Karmann is karma. Maybe not a good sign. Lol

what can I say, i love my oldies <3. air cooled really isnt as bad at watercooled vdubs though. my god watercooled are disasters waiting to happen. my biggest worry would be rust. once heater channels are changed and maybe redo the floor pans with por15 or buy new i should be ok. from there maybe a SCAT stroker kit, engle cam, etc. Death trap to say the least but beautiful

Terrible news. Andy was leaving the house today and got T-boned while sitting at a stop sign. All parties were perfectly all right. The car needs some work now obviously. Nothing structurally thankfully but it is going to need some body parts.
Is there compatibility with the regular Protege with the doors? It will need both drivers side doors.
Also the steering rack. The tie rod as well as the rack on that side accordioned up. Did the regular Protege's have any different racks or are they all the same regardless of engine size/model?

Yeah, it's pretty crappy. She will be back though. Hopefully sooner than later.

Fantastic news. The guy that hit him wanted to settle without the insurance company. We were skeptical but Andy is now holding a fat check ready to be cashed in the morning, and then immediately after the hunt for parts begins!

take it to the photoshop thread once you get some ideas they will hook you up with visuals
just a personal favorite
falken rims are nice
also sorry to bother but can you find any identifying numbers on the compressor you have like these
the p5 fittings are too wide for both of those compressors
