    *Sniffle* Where's the Zoom Zoom?

    #1. Yours is an automatic so its more like Zom Zom now.
    #2. Get lower springs so the car can Zig Zag with the best of them
    #3. Your so hell bent on making it look fast with a body kit first. I'm NOT against a body kit but, I would think it would be embarassing if someone asked you to open the hood of your BAD ASS LOOKING Protege' and find a stock engine. I suggest a CAI, Header, Exhaust, hyperwires, and without a doubt...BEATS. Get that stock audio crap out of there so you can atleast be BOOM BOOM.

    then think about that body kit.

      "If you can't go fast with 90HP, 900HP won't help you." compliments of Negatize, and i think its more like 89whp, but if you really wanna embarass people, pay attention to the auto crossers in here, all kinds of suspension parts are available for these cars, you take someone out on a curvy road, the odds are in your favor, if you know how to drive.
      According to my Anger Management Counselor, after 26 weeks of anger management class, I should be an expert when it comes to Anger Management...tell that to the guy who threw a starburst at my car in rush hour traffic...haha

        LMAO funny stuff. and I agree with adding the suspension stuff,these cars handle incredible. my next mods are allfrom GTspec...front and rear strut bars, front and rear lower tie bars and a 4 point front ladder bar.

          if it looks fast.. it better BE fast.

          the 1.6L has about 90whp. the 2.0L has 97-103whp

          But i'm with most other people.. modding the suspension this spring. and in the summer i'm gonna get a few baby-mods for my engine.. until i can afford to toss in a turbo.

          no body mods until i get a turbo in there... (except, maybe, an MP3 bumper)

                i dunno about that.. i've dragged against a few neons for kicks.. and i've never lost... and i have an A/T..

                i checked. i found the 1.6 with 86whp... dunno about the 1.5, though.

                  Idk?

                  I'm pretty sure my neon is faster... I mean... I've timed both of them and the neon was about a sec faster on the 0-60 times.... It could be because the neon has lots of engine parts replaced? idk...

                  but it sure makes a hella louder noise than the Pro' lol

                    Illeisist's neon is a 4 door '96. Lots of the original engine parts are replaced, but the stock 96 neon is faster than a stock 2002 protege LX 2.0. We timed both, if the neon was in better condition it would have beaten the pro by much more. The neon is only a 3 speed too.
