I'm doin' meh. I have a 1990 Mazda Protege LX with a 1.6 liter DOHC, fun little whip, but it's been dead since this recent Winter, and it's a to fix.
Winter is harsh here in Minnesota, but I had new X-Ice Xi3's on, and it was pretty fun while it lasted. Now that it's summer, it's overheated and it has a pretty major Oil Leak, because it doesn't have fans. I'm putting on two 12 Fans and a new Radiator, then I want to work on a new Windshield before Turbo.
She was capable of 140 for 5 Minutes on my way home
Only weighs ~2100 no Driver, and I got her for I think $2000 off of Ebay. I'll be honest, she's a little rigged, but I have lots of future plans if I can find the parts
Here's what he said he's done to it:
"2.25" exhaust
Thrush chamber muffler
Iacv delete
Ac delete
Power steering delete
Guted trunk
Sits roughly 5" off the ground on some ebay coil overs
Whole front end from steering to cv axles are all new
Had the engine striped down to bare head and block an re did all the gaskets
2nd owner and very little rust
Cold air intake
Custom hood for better air aspiration. (I would love to put the old style, if I recall correctly, Challenger air scoops that gutted a Light in place for an intake, and dumped it through the hood?)
Louder vents
Hi flow fuel filter
Rebuilt injectors
Hard line radiator hoses
It was a build for a hx55 turbo."
It's basically a whippy little Go-Kart
