I was talking to phen and a cp-e parts rep and he said be would be interesting in producing and selling protege parts at a reasonable price. Let me know what you'd want and he will respond and we work from there. We are only gauging interest here
I would start with intake, header, and exhaust.
TB spacer that has some decent r&d behind it
There are a couple companies that make TB and IM thermal spacers. I have the set from outlaw engineering.
Intake and exhaust are pretty well covered for this platform (not much money to be made there). The only currently produced header is the obx and we all know it's crap. If someone (cpe, corksport, cr3, etc) would produce a decent 4-2-1 header like the awr or Mazdaspeed and sold it for around 300-400, on an ongoing basis, they would get every NA protege sale ever lol.
Don't know if you guys know that you can get this to but there in Australia

just use google a little more, and browse used for sale parts on here and other forums. youll find a lot of stuff you didnt know was out there.
that being said, im down for a header. one that was a little thicker and tuned for 6000 rpm peak power and not 10000 like the obx. it wouldnt hurt having one that didnt give filthy rasp.

Interesting. Any further information on it? Wonder on price as well.
As far as interests......
I pretty much agree with a good quality header that is made to fit out the door first time.
Cam Gears is one. I don't see many making them but then again not many need them.
They are a good header, you can buy them off ebay too
try and see if they will send them to the US
