Great work, Bumper and interior looks flawless just like every other square inch of the car!

[323Permin]

Well seeing that the Car is finished for now .... ( I have plans for more power Mauhhhhh ahhh ahhh )

It was time to put it through its paces at the Auto-X , feel it out and start tweaking it for performance.

I finally got to hear what the exhaust sounds like from out side the car ... not to bad.

love your hatch lol...seems to move well too. Do you have a resonator in your exhaust system at all?

[323Permin]

Yes I do have a resonator .. it was a must . Without it I would be to loud and not be able to run at the track.

So I havent had much to update on through the summer .. just been driving her and Auto-Xin breaking in the motor, tranny and suspension.

But I am not to happy with the suspension setup. Its actually ok for the most part , but I want more suspension travel and adjustment.





In saying that I have been talking with Eric at K-Sport and Jim at Pierce Motorsports.

We have dialed in what I wanted ... I will be taking delivery of The K-Sport GT Pro Damper coil overs , with their Advanced pillow ball Camber/Caster plates.

Basically its their off the shelf GTX BG 4x4 Kontrol Pro model , but in a GT Pro version.

I did some research and it looks like the Advanced pillow ball mount they make for the 1999-2003 Protege will work in our BG's.

So I will have both caster and camber adjustment !!!

Plus I am Getting Jim to send me up a set of the tubular rear control arms :0) .

Everything should will be here by Xmas ... and I will be installing eveything over the winter ... many pictures to follow.
