Damn...Owen beat me to posting pics. We had a mini battle over who would post these pics.

It looks really sick, the interior was well taken care of and the dash was cut properly and what not. I think it came out really well.
 
Update

We are running behind schedule. We are hoping the sleeving of the block will be finished this week and the turbo + other parts come in also. The street wheels have been picked up and I will take pics soon installed on the car.

Installed parts:
Rear Swaybar installed
Lowering Springs and shocks

I am getting alittle nervous because the race is 4/5/08 but hopefully, a couple late nights work + good weather to test and tune at the track will help us do good.

Update

Unfortunately, we are going to have to go with plan B instead of A because the engine builder informed us that the sleeving of the block will not be ready for the race this week due to family crisis. The built head for superprotege is ready though.

We are now building the stock engine with Pauter Rods and Wiseco Pistons. The turbo for the sleeve block is too big for stock block so we are going to use a GT35R.

We are still waiting for some other parts to come in this week but we started disassembling the engine tonight. Hopefully we can be tuning both cars at the dyno on Friday and go to the track Friday evening.

Did you get your cell back? Too much POWA in my slowtege huh.

Wow you guys got A LOT done. It was parked when I was there earlier that day.
 
Update

The work continues to try to get superprotege and supermazda3 ready for nhra sports compact racing series sponsored by Nopi this weekend.

The first picture is supermazda3 with its pistons out, waiting for the wiseco pistons to be installed

The second picture is superprotege with its head off waiting for built head to be installed.

The head below is the bigger head for superprotege. The head was ported & polished on the intake and exhaust side, has bigger valves and tighter springs.

See the comparison below between the stock head and the ported & polished head
