Looking good bro. Sounds decent too. lol Too bad you can bring it out when you come visit.

Nice man. And are you still wanting to do like a gathering some time in April?

Yeah may 19 is when it got rescheduled. Maybe we can do something before then. Have like a little meet or something.

Same here man. But I still might go even if it does snow.

Yeah I seen that. Hopefully the weather guy is wrong.

I have a silver protege. Lol it'll be nice to actually meet some people from this forum.

I'll be there and maybe a couple of my buddies. I'm just going to look around. I won't enter for the show.

Which is your opinion, turbo or swap?

Did you notice any change in performance?

2000 Protege LX 223500. starts on the first try everytime.

I think i might go for the engine swap. What changes would I have to do to drop one in?

Yeah I went ahead and replaced the alternator for like 26 bucks with a 13 month warranty from a local salvage yard. :) I was pretty stoked about that. Definitely fixed the problem. Although I don't think I'll go back to autozone to get an alternator tested. Lol

I figured it was the alternator but I just didn't understand why it would pass the test at autozone. Oh well thanks for the help.

The other day my car died on me. Gauges were flickering and the everything died. I had the battery and alternator checked out and everything was good but still my battery light comes on at low rpm and off at high rpm. This also happened before it died. Any ideas to what is going on?

Thanks but isn't the MAF sensor on the 1.8 different from the 1.6? Or is it the same? I was thinking about building my own from autozone is that a good idea?
