I remember when I had my Protege, Brian has one of the coolest purpose built Protege out there. Being only on sale for 2 years, the Protege5 did not have much aftermarket support... With custom made parts, Brian's car always found itself into a thread on the US forums... Purposely built to be a street going go kart, Brian spent alot of time making it that way. Even the gears in the transmission were custom made to specified ratios!
"I really think that Less is More if there is an extreme amount of "Less". Each and every part is selected based on, Function and Reliability, Then It Must never stand out, seem out of place, and it must be part of the rest. I do not want a bunch of parts in a car, I want a Single Perfect Machine."
Coming from the Ottawa area for this photoshoot, I got a chance to finally see all the little parts done to this car. On the outside, its a sleeper, a few might notice the 14" 8 piston brakes... A quick glace on the inside, you would think thats a screen in the center dash. Its just a piece of black cardboard covering the custom wiring for the whole car. There is no radio in this car. Everywhere you look further, everything is so purposely modified. This is a Go-Kart.
