          I realize this is an old thread, but I figured it was the best place to ask.

          A friend of mine wants to swap a BP into his '98 Protege. Currently he has the Z5 auto and would like to keep the auto transmission. Will the Z5 auto tranny bolt onto the BP?

            Yes, but,

            First question: why is he swapping in the performance engine, and keeping the automatic transmission?

              I believe it's for his daughter. The 1.5L has internal problems and he wants the car to have a bit more power for merging onto the highway and stuff.

                He should teach his daughter to drive stick.

                Seems like a waste of $$$ but whatever, it's his car.

                  I agree, but oh well. His money, not mine.

                    i have a 1.5 auto tragic;

                    and i'm thinking i might just end up buying a different car.. instead of going 1.8 manual.
                    seems like such a hassssleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

                      That's why I sold mine. But finding a 1.8L is difficult.

                      Going to be worth it though.

                            it's funny that now that i look there's none up for sale;

                            but i saw this ad probs 4 months ago.. and i was going to get it as it was only 15 minutes from my house..but some other expenses came up.

                            if your ever lurking.. i usually see the good stuff on kijiji

                            obviously for my area it would be toronto.kijiji.ca


                            edit: theres is about 15 - 20 2nd gens on ontario autotrader right now; some of em manual.. some of em 1.8L.. hard to find the combo that we'd all be intersted in

                              Yeah, I just checked AutoTrader all across Canada.... everybody must be smoking crack because everything is either grossly overpriced, or labeled incorrectly...

                              and they're all automatic.... I wish I could go back in time and punch everybody in the head who bought an automatic 1.8L....that shouldn't even exist..

                              I should just buy a Miata. Anybody want my JDM stuff?
