Got a 91 Protege today

[jasonh]

Just picked it up today. Its got 210000Kms on it. Sadly its an automatic SOHC. It runs fairly well, this weekend I'm gonna change the plugs, cap and rotor, fuel filter...all the maintenance stuff.
I also want to get a cluster with a tach which I understand is plug and play?
The sunroof motor seems to be weak, are they easy to change? The roof needs a little push to get it to tilt, almost like its binding, but the motor is noisy and sounds weak so...I guess thats about it for now, check out the crappy camera phone pics

Welcome to Club Protege.

Looks like you have a diamond in the rough.

This guy is selling guage clusters:

And I might have a sunroof motor or two kicking around if you are interested.

The Cluster is plug and play, though it's a real bitch to swap without removing the steering wheel.

Edit: That guy's asking a lot for Clusters. I got one from a guy parting his Protege out for $20, and another from a JY for $30. Both were low mileage and worked fine. Check out the paper or your local JY first.

Yeah he is, I took the time to let him know cause he said he wanted them gone ASAP, I haven't checked back to see if he lowered the prices.

Yes, it can be done without removing the wheel, but like mentioned earlier, it takes a little patience. I have no patience, but I still got mine in!

Good luck, the car looks to be in great condition!

I'm goin to the wreckers Saturday. I wanna get the cluster and I'd like to have a clock, it looks like that whole panel needs to be replaced? Then it'll be on to the stereo install I'll get some better pics this weekend, cell cams suck...

Oh BTW my car had a bra on it when I got it. Someone can have it for the shipping cost.

[jasonh]

Welcome to the forums. If this is your first protege it only takes a little time to appreciate it. When your at the wreckers see if you see any spoilers like the one you have. If they have one let me know and maybe we can work out a deal. Good luck
