Unless Ford ganked it from Mazda, that's unlikely. The 2.0 in the Protege is the FS motor, and it has been used in a few Mazdas since 1993. Check this site: http://members.aol.com/solomiata/MX5Engine.html for a table of Mazda 4 cylinder engines and the cars they've been used in.

 

just found out that with a chip the gti goes to 220 hp... basically equalling the audi tt... sorry mazda but i think vw wins

 

hey just get an fd. then you would have money left for mods

 

Get an FD or crank up the boost on the MazdaSpeed protege! Gonna react similar probably!

 

lol i wish i could get a fd... would kick my gtu's ***. but i have to get a new car and be able to afford the insurance. im defintely going to go look at the speed protege b4 i make my final decision... it supposedly handles amazingly

 

that chip just blew my brothers motor

 

i would get that mazdaspeed protege, the one w/ the turbo. And then sell it later for and FD h34r:

 

Just had to throw this in... but for 20g's you could also find like a 2000 or 2001 Mustang GT!



I know a guy selling a sweet *** one that is dark blue for 18 Grand! With like 30,xxx miles on it. All kinds of steeda **** on it and he takes damn good care of it!!!







lol guys I already said FD and he turned it down so I have to go to one of my other favorite cars!

 

Asses- he has to buy a new car that he can afford the insurance on, he isnt getting a $20,000 check from his grandpappy to spend as he pleases, now if he was getting a check for $20,000, that would change EVERYTHING!

 

I think with a stmt like that all you should get is a swift kick in the ***. why does everything have to be given to you? Be a man and earn it and i dont want to hear about school and **** like that. I know a lot of people that earn thier own stuff while in school.



And dont get me wrong its not the fact that your getting money, its the attitude that you feel like if they dont give you a $20K car they are cheap ******.



They need to give your *** a bicycle so you can get your *** up to a job.



Dont go off saying I'm jealous either, my parants could have given me anything I wanted (and still could) but I choose to work for what I get and always have. It just kills me to think people feel like they are due so much in life
