1997 Protege 4 door. 1.8 liter 4 cylinder @122 HP
Well, this is my first post to what seems to be a great site!!

Well, I'll bet you all are itching to hear about my ride.
It is my Dad's car, but I drive it mostly..

It is red, has power everything, does not have A/C (bummer), has a 1.8 Liter engine that pumps out 122 Horsepower coupled with 4 speed automatic transmission with overdrive.
Has a nice factory spoiler on the rear of it too.. I like it..
It also has 4 wheel disc brakes but no ABS..

So far, I like the car. It is peppy, though it seems to be a bit slow when trying to get to 160 or 180.. What is the top speed of a stock? anyone know?
It has great seats and a sporty wheel that even flexs at the top..
Steering is nice and tight and the brakes are VERY good.. Has a nice factory stereo in it..

Ride is great, soaks up bumps nicly and it is quiet. I like it..

Well, over the next few days, I will be posting some technical questions about the car and i hope yous can help me..

Well, again, great site so far.. Ciao..
 
Welcome to the site.

Wanna trade cars. I've got the super quick 1.5L. (lol2)

You were going 160- 180 ? km right
 
LOL, Yes, it is in Kilometers..

Hey, nice car! Rims are nice, I wish I had em instead of plastic wheel covers.. At least they are the factory originals..
