New to me but old 2002 Protege DX

[misnblu]

I needed another car as my project daily driver has a broke tranny from doing a "money" shift.

Anyway I found a nice 2002 Protege DX with only 95k miles on the clock and for only $1,800.
I bought it.

No rust, the body is straight, mechanically sound for what I need to drive around while I install a new Spec clutch stage 1 into my Hyundai Accent.

So far I really like this car.
I've already installed my Konig Rewind wheels from the Accent as I have OZ Alleggeirita HLT wheels on the Accent right now.
Yeah I switch wheels like changing shoes when you feel like something different.

The Mazda will be a keeper and already have parts ordered for her for maintenance and better handling.

Some pics...

Anyway thought I'd say hi so hey.

Welcome! Nice find and looks clean...Always puts a smile on my face to see Proteges still in good condition and on the road. Looking forward to updates!

Thank you sir.
As a truck driver I see every kind of car out on the road and since I've gotten this Protege I have seen 0 on the road in the past week.

Such a rare car now and once had seen many in years past.

Aftermarket is dismal as well.
I'll be setting it up for a good driving reliable second car that handles very well and looks clean.
