Newb from Cincinnati checking in
 

I've been a lurking member for a while and never really introduced myself. Name is Chris and I'm from a Cincinnati suburb by Kings island.

I own a 93 protege LX that is under the knife right now getting a newer motor and t3 turbo setup. As all of you probably already know, the 90-94 protege lx had the 1.8l bp before the miata.

Some other posibilitys I've been considering while the car is undergoing surgery are a 5 lug swap and redoing the interior.
