    Rob's '94 Protege

    This car used to be my dad's, then he gave it to my mom when he got a 2000 protege dx, and now it's been passed on to me. (It's an auto btw)


    Stock, when I got her.


    First thing I did was clean up the engine bay


    Eibach Springs




    KYB GR2 struts

            New Rims




            Picked up a new front sway bar from the junkyard. Cracked the old one right in half cornering too hard.


            Cleaned all the rust off of it and painted it using engine enamel.

                i'm pretty sure i've seen this car before now, since you posted pics of the rims. You were cruising with them last summer, right? I use to live in London til a few months ago

                  Ya, I got them during the summer. I always guned it from the stop lights, and followed people a foot behind, lol. You were probably thinking "what an asshole" haha.

                  The thing with having an automatic is I taught myself left foot braking. Almost flew through the windshield first time I tried it but now my left foot is 100 times more sensitive. I'm always covering the brake, so reaction time is quicker too. I recommend every one give it a shot if they're driving automatics.

                    I'd always see your car on Highbury, I use to live on Huron by Adelaide, then moved to Cherry Hill area...then back with the folks til summer now lol.

                    You may have seen me too?

                      Next up was the trim and more detailing...


                      Did a black coat first, it was kinda faded before


                      Masked around the middle stripe


                      Same engine enamel paint as the sway bar


                      All done


                      That caliper is looking kinda ugly...


                      Painted Red for +15 HP!!!


                      The final result

                        wow, never thought of painting the door trim stripes on before...mine are just 1/4" red pin striping on my BG lol

                        Looks good man! Did you add the red pin on the rims too?

                          Ya, that's the parking lot right by Shopper's Drug mart if I'm not mistaken. My mom still uses the car for work which is right off Highbury. I don't need it during the day since I'm in school anyways and parking there is $$$ I laugh sometimes picturing my mom driving that car, lol.

                            No, I bought the rims like that. I had the red trim stripe in mind from seeing it on the forums when I bought them (From Unauthorized Performance on Dundas St. )

                              Yep! I was right across the street from RBC in a crappy white house lol, but I'd go back there in a heartbeat! Miss London a lot, just seems like a lot of work to get back there now. Job, housing, blah blah blah.

                              Unauthorized? How are they to deal with? I use Jim's Speed Shop mostly, awesome prices compared to anywhere I've been too. Poly bushings for my front bar would have only been $28 from them, but since I moved, $53 is the cheapest locally now!
