- 2002 Mazda Protege
So, this will be a thread where I can act cool and post random s*** I did to my car to help me get motivated and finish some things. Its not much of a build anymore, as most things have been done, then undone, and then redone (boom03). Those of you who know me, you know what I mean, those who dont, Ill just let the pictures tell the story. Enjoy
Stock (2004-ish?)
Carbon Hood, eyelids, wheels, lowered.
Coilovers
Engine coming out
Putting shiney stuff in
Back together for the first time after the build
Now Im going to skip some stuff, but basically, ran like that a while, burnt an exhaust valve, rebuilt the head with all Supertech Valvetrain, then upgraded to a bigger turbo. Oh and I started wrapping it
The final setup was:
*Steedspeed T3 turbo manifold
*Garrett T3/To4E Turbo
*Pauter rods/Wiseco Pistons (8.5:1)
*Arp Head and main studs
*Supertech: 1mm Oversize Valves, Dual Valve Springs, Ti Retainers, Bronze Valve guides, Valve seals
*Stage 2 clutch
*SSAFC
*Etc etc
Then came the PARTOUT, Why....I have no idea. Nothing was broken, car drove great. Just got BORED. So I sold everything and put a OEM block back in.
That leaves us at now. Big plans for the car but Ill get into those more in the next few posts.
