    New Member from KY...

    Yes. KY. Like the jelly.

    I'm Tim. 21 year-old IT Slave/autocrosser/occasional student. I grew up in a car-crazy family and my repertoire is reflective of this. I've been buying/fixing/selling/racing/breaking cars since I was 15. The most recent addition is a '94 Protege DX with 255k miles. It was a one-owner car before me, and is a very basic car. No passenger-side mirror, no radio, etc. I love the simplicity. It currently has a blown head gasket, but I've ordered the pieces to take care of that. Here are a couple of pics of the new beastie:







    For those who are interested, here are the others that are currently in my stable:

    '90 Miata prepped for SCCA autocross in STS2:


    '69 Saab 96 DeLuxe restomod project/driver:


    '87 Saab 900S Airflow:


    '84 RX-7 GSL-SE (for sale):


    '92 Saab 900S that I bought for my gf to drive when the weather is questionable:


    '87 Escort EXP Sport Coupe (soon to go to a good friend, I hope):


    There have been quite a few others in the past and there will be many more in the future, but for now, I'm pretty excited about getting the Protegé back on the road. Thanks for reading, and remember, the whistles go .

          Thanks for the welcomes. So far, the plans include resealing the engine and having the head planed, replacing the driver's seat and door panel, installing a radio, and obsessive cleaning. When those are complete, I have a couple of sets of stock Miata wheels to choose from and a new set of Falken Azenis that are begging to be installed on something. I'm thinking that a set of flat-blacked Daisys and Azenis would be a nice starting-point for the Protege. From there... Who knows? I bought it to use as a daily driver and gas miser, so modifications will likely reflect that. After the engine is squared away, I'm not sure what direction it will take. I'm looking forward to it.

              What local meets? 502SS meets? Probably not, if that's what you're referring to. I'll be at all of the local autocross events, though.
