    Very nice car, but even anyone can tell you this car in the picture is naturally aspirated. What's this guy trying to pull? Maybe he just posted old pictures. He says it has a boost gauge, so maybe? Wuddya think?

    The guy is full of ****. He says it's a stock turbo, but if you run the VIN on carfax it comes up as a DX/LX/ES Protege, so I ran a VIN i knew was a MSP, and it comes up as a Mazdaspeed Protege on carfax. Plus if you look at the pics it's obvious there isn't a turbo in there.

                        ive only ever seen ONE car dropped 6", and im not even sure if it was a true 6"... but we put matrix 6" drop coilover sleeves on my buddies 2nd gen eclipse, and the stock 14s tucked almost to the rim and he rubbed a hole smooth thru his oilpan just from driving around town and bottoming out just from ppl lookin at it the wrong way. lol... no ****in WAY is that thing 6" lower than stock... not to mention that he completely contradicts himself between questions two and three... why would he let them be viewed?? dumbass bastard...

                          I just sent him a message explaining the fact that a 5 for an engine code is not turbo. A 7 for an engine code means it was shipped prepped for the turbo that will be installed once it gets to Callaway. I also let him know that there are no factory turbo automatics. Let's see if he posts it on his auction.

                            whatever, he's a tool who has no idea. Just happens to own a Protege. If ppl where smart they'd clue into the fact he IS trying to mislead ppl. but nope, morons are still bidding.....

                              Okay heres the latest response to the message that I sent him...

                              Item: Mazda : Protege (4560479038)
                              This message was sent while the listing was active.
                              reneesmoke is the seller.
                              Ok, once again, I was going by the specs e-bay gave the car when I put the Vin # in. I realize there is a problem with this info. I am fully aware that it is not a Mazdaspeed/Turbo. I am working to resolve theses problems.

                              WTF?
