Well, to start I got the car for free! so cant beat the price lol. Its a 1994 mazda protege dx 5 speed with a grim reaper and green flames on the hood and fenders. Now you know why it was free! lmao. Anyways, Im going to turn this car into a enth TA car for practice mostly. My plans include, KYB gr-2 stuts, H&R springs, ST or addco swaybars, MS struts brace(s), miata rims, conti tires, and all other suspension components freshed up. After this I plan to aquire LX seats, and rear disc brakes. After all this PAINT for sure jet black During all this im going to pick up a BP and G trans from the junkyard and start building it out of the car. I get the hook ups for machine work and engine internals so im going to build it up to be turbo ready about 300hp or so. Nothing crazy really Ill post some pictures of the car when i get a good photo of her if one exsists atm. I have the struts and springs on the way ill post pictures when i install them as well.

Ok I have many questions i went and scouted pick and pull today. found a mercury capri xr2 i believe has a B6T that looks like its in pretty decent shape all the filters where new and the oil was brand new! Not to mention clean spark plugs . Anyways im planning to pull it on half off day with a BP. Now would that b6t be a good swap in a protege? i know its the same trans but how does the rest line up? Ill prolly just hold on to the engine and clean it up. Anyways for the BP search I found 1 auto protege 2 auto egt with decent looking engines. what are the differences on the auto bp? odviously the ecu is a no go. what about the rest harness and connector wise? are the fords any different? everything else i was looking for i found including mx3 seats i just have to go remove it all. Thanks in advance1994 Protege DX - Where it began

Bp is 125hp and b6t is 130(IIRC). Not much of an upgrade.
Ford bp is mostly small nose crank with no mbsp
Auto harness I'm not 100% sure on but I think its not worth the time1993 Protege LX-Midnight's shadow SOLD
