well..it was really only a matter of time. I'm going through severe torque withdrawl and its starting to eat my brain. With all the time and thought i've put into my protege..the likelyhood of it ever having the performance i want, is growing less and less likely..unless someone wants to donate money to my fund for forged internals, the hiboost kit, and a LSD..didnt' think so..I've been looking around..looking at mustang GT's..(yes, mustangs..) SRT-4's and wrx's..I just need power..I might sing a different tune once I drive or take a ride a heavily modified protege though..Although 1sty's was a quick little banshee..now he drives an STi..not exactly setting the example..hmm..(screwy)

the fun is getting this little motor to really churn out the hp's. i'm going to boost theis baby if it's the last thing i do! you can't get me away from the protege, it least not until after i go with the turbo kit. i do like the subi though!!(yes)
i think srt-4 is the car for you.
If you had a p5 or a mp3 or msp then maybe the end would seem closer, but having started with a DX i can understand your growing frustration as the list probably seems longer every time you make it...
i would stay away from the wrx....never really cared for em myself

that and they are complete garbage..the SRT is right up my alley..we'll see though.. i might turn this dx into something after all..
Thats just it..I don't want to worry about blown motors..blah blah blah..and i need LSD..2004 SRT-4 is perfect..now for the money..

no doubt the srt-4 has all the right stuff when it comes to the power train, but i don't care for the look. the body style seems old to me...actually i don't think it's changed much in several years. if you got the cash then go for it!!SpicyMchaggis said:
2200$ for a short block? what?? who does this?
Yeah thats my whole concern. I want to do a safe 6psi. But honestly, its not worth worrying about. I'd like put down like 10-12psi..but knowing me..the axle and tranny wouldn't last.
