Hello fellow Miata and BP lovers!
I'm new here to the site but not to the BP engine or to forums. I've had my 99 Miata for about 4 years and i'I've been rocking Proteges for over 8 years now. figured I would post up a picture and say HI to everyone https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1389571831 |
Welcome to the forums Adam.
|
Thanks for joining, Woody101088!

I would kill for a sweet protege like that

LOL can't tell if sarcasm or you actually mean it? This Protege is my daily beater. Only running a B8 engine |
I'd wager he's serious, and so am I. It's a nice Protege. I could say something about the black wheels, but that's a personal preferance. Many around here have a passion for old Japanese cars.
|
Proteges make awesome daily drivers. One of the few cars i'd consider replacing my MX6 with.
Welcome! |
This is actually my 4th BG protege.
Thanks for the compliments. It has it fair share or rust though. We all know chicago turns cars into rust buckets :-( the only reason they're black is because they were free and i'm to lazy to rip the tires off to powder coat them lol |
I do not understand the hardons for bog-standard Proteges, but to each their own.
Welcome! |

Welcome! What other kind would we have a hardon for? The Mazdaspeed Protege? That thing is a pile of shit. I'll take a 91-94 LX or a P5, thanks. |
Love my p5. It somehow manages to make a 4 door wagon feel like a much smaller, great handling car. I can throw it around like a Miata and it doesn't complain.

Ah so you like glass drivetrains with tons of NLA parts (BF 323GTX) and a nearly impossible to find BG bog standard hatch. :D
Wanna see my Protege? It sucks. https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1389653214 |
WTF is that, a KL swap?
I just think the 323 gtx's are cool and the regular protege sedans don't do anything for me. Whatever, to each their own. I drive a pig, remember? |
Yeah, KL swap. And other things. It's got a bit wider track than an Escort normally does at this point. It has Escort body panels and interior panels, that's about it.
Seems i may inadvertently have a "thing" for shitty FWD red Mazdas. I'm parting that car out, though. OP should buy all my stuff and put it on/in his Protege. |
would drive. why part?

Mostly stock KL. ZE bottom end, slightly skimmed heads, CZT 218 race cams, Interprep valve springs, oval port Millenia heads. Custom Gixxer 1000 ITB setup with Kinsler linkage and Factory Pro velocity stacks. (ITB setup previously seen on "The KLiata," which was most recently owned by CodingParadox on here.) I was expecting 230-240ish whp out of this motor. 300-325whp n/a out of the full bore race motor i have internals sitting around for. Spin to 10krpms or so. I didn't fuck around much with "That'll do." https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1389655262 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1389655262 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1389655262 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1389655262 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1389655262 Anyways, yes. BG Chassis Mazdas are pretty much the shit as far as FWD cars go. You should build yours. With my parts. :party:;):rofl::dealwithit: |

KL love. This thing is supposedly in the 10's now. Try not to blow your wad during the burnouts. Want. Just needs kl/fe/b6/bp and non-glass tranny, lol. Wooddaily/10 https://www.miataturbo.net/attachmen...ine=1389672864 |
God, I love threads like this.
OP: "Hey guys, I got a Miata!" Chorus: "Who gives a fuck! Check out that old econobox!" :bowrofl::bowrofl::bowrofl: Maybe it's because we all have Miatas and see them all the time. Good condition Proteges are harder to come by and not seen as often. But I'm sure that to most people, my Protege5 is just an old econobox. Some people can't appreciate art. :party: |

I love those, but finding clean ones is a colossal pain the ass. KL love. This thing is supposedly in the 10's now. Try not to blow your wad during the burnouts. All Motor Mazda 323 V6 with ITB'S 11 sec run - YouTube That's why it's hard to give up on the Escort. My motor was going to make that kind of power, if not more. Target weight was anywhere between 2000 and 2100lbs. Le sigh. I was always a little partial to this insanity, though. |
