      I have a set sitting next to me, I'll measure them tomorrow
      I live my life a quarter pounder at a time. And for those 500 calories or more, I'm free. I need FRIES! Two of them. The big ones. Oh, and I need them tonight. You're lucky the double shot of BBQ sauce didn't blow the seam on your nugget box. There she is, 2 pounds of pure beef. My dad ate it in 9.0 seconds flat. Check it out, it's like this. If I lose, winner takes my happy meal. But if I win, I take the burger and the toy. To some people, that's more important.

        Won't help. It has to be Protege parts...per the rules. If I can find something though it may be worth it as a temporary fix until I can get the motor moved.

          do you really think they are going to notice? i mean i'm all for playing by the rules but... really? if you buy parts store replacement ones its gonna be exactly the same as the 3g pro just with a slightly different length.

            Probably not, but people have been disqualified after winning a national championship for less. I would rather make the car as legal as I possibly can to avoid any problems.

                I took a look at the motor position today and the way the motor mounts are situated. I should have the motor repositioned tomorrow evening. I will only need to modify the passenger side mount. The other three will work without any cutting or welding.

                Also, here is a pic of the area where my wheel and tires rub under full steering lock. I wouldn't be worried about this if it was just the tire rubbing, but you can see where the rim is rubbing on the brake hard line.

                          yea..both my car. My co-driver coned away the DS national championship this year. He is seriously quick. I wanted him to drive because I figured between the two of us we could really see what the car was capable of.

                              it would be great to get an idea of which newer protege aftermarket parts fit with minimal modification.

                              what are those fs-de engines capable of n/a?

                                The front suspension will fit without modification. The rear struts will require some mods to the bottom mount of the strut and poss a lot of modification depending on what aftermarket strut you are using. That is really the only thing that is close to just bolting on. The motor/trans swap takes a good bit of fiddling with the motor mounts to make it work, but it's not bad.

                                The FS motors have been as high as 150-155whp, but with a lot more modifications than I am allowed to do (High compression, custom cams). If I can get anything over 140whp with the limited amount of mods I can do I will be happy.
