you can ask all you want, but its doubtfull that kinda cash is going to be seen for a protege...

i would agree, at this point, you're better off keeping it.
 
I was just trying to get an idea, but never will let these car go for 15k..

If you did ever sell it you would be better off parting out your car and returning it to stock. You would make alot more off the individual parts and then selling the car for around 13-15k
 
that was the day we were all there bbq'ing and the car hit like 45psi ? and where i killed my 1st msp clutch trying to warm up the tires in 2nd gear? lol

Actually on that run the alternator died, as you can see 10.5 at 112mph.

It was gonna be a low9 high 8 second run....

The car ran 9.8 the run before that at low boost. It was set at high boost for that run...
 
something must've happened to him that run because that charger is pretty fast too. at one point it was the fastest FWD in canada IIRC

one of VERY few guys to have done something like this with the chrysler 2.3 engine

lol what's the guy in the next lane have to be thinking when he gets beat by a protege by about a second. Here you go(second)
 
Best protege build i've seen bro, mad props.

2 things your gonna need. a tire with a sidewall.

And Bigger injectors your IDC's will be high at higher boost even with the dual pumps.

NICE BUILD THO MAN. SUPER NICE. That turbo isn't even shining at 12psi. wow man. I'm speechless.

Good luck, and happy breaking s***. I've been there.


Get some tires bro! And how high are you spinning and where you getting full boost at. Look at sending your 35r out to get the FP HTA mod, will gain you 500 rpms of spool or so. Very nice technology

Well, Pirana's was asking 26k if not mistaken.. 15k ? wow amazing !!! no way in hell i'll sell my car for that amount !!!
I guess thats a good thing..You're not selling it.....Because its likely you would NEVER see that amount for it. ($15K)
 
With the amount of time, money & care you've put in this car, I don't see how the thought of selling it willingly for any reason could ever be more than a joke. For a split second. Couldn't do it. Ummm, the ROTM that is.
 
I don't understand why would you guys want to build a car then sell
it... its no secret no one would ever pay unless you go to an upscale
aution etc...
 
Like he said though it was just a question. In other parts of the world a modified car may hold a little more value!

Total of payments +
Total including SC Longblock shipping Friday & PAR gearset about to order with income tax!

$25000+$26000=No Investment!

Just write it off as an addiction worse than CRACK! Part out at least to make some other Protege owner happy!

I already know I'm not getting rid of my baby for a long time.
 
Not even at an auction...watching BJck this past weekend...a $80k build Civic went for $10k and last year a Dodge Magnum SRT-8 build by MTX had over $50k in stereo equipment alone and went for $25k!
 
wow honestly I would rather keep it at that point... your car is priceless
with all the labor and parts you have put in to it. I guess you had your reasons for selling the parts... anyway its all in fun and having a hobbie

Iam Not Going to sell these car, i was just trying to get an idea if i ever decide to sell it how much i can ask, anyways if i ever decide to sell it, these is going to Happen In Spain since my baby its getting shipped here to my new home, not US, and after searching the market in here in europe, i can easily ask what ever amout of money i want, since there is not a Mazdaspeed Protege like these one here atleast in spain with the specs and power i have. ive seen second hand cars with no mods at all for € 18,000 Euros, do you guys know how much is a Mazdaspeed 3 in here in Spain ? € 28,550 Euros, that is Equal to $ 42,539.50.. well by just looking at these i can easily sell my car for more money than the Mazda 3 MPS here Costs , ive seen modified cars in here with 95% less stuff done to it, and with less power for lots of money... here is the Mazda Website in here in spain

Mazdaspeed 3 ( € 28,550 Euros, that is Equal to $ 42,539.50) $ 1= € 1.49 just multiply

It will be harder than you think to sell your car for more than the cost of a Speed 3 no matter how many mods it has.
 
hes not even thinking of selling it. he just wanted to get an idea of how much it would go for. they gave him an idea, yet he still is trying to prove us wrong on something that doesnt need proving.

Europe is a different market and story believe me. these is not US where everyhing you do is worthless and the value is s***, people here in Europe and in spain people really care and take in consideration about whats under the hood and for how much they can have a Unique Street Legal and legalize race car..and even more when is a car highly modified that comes from the United States.. hahah they loved Fast and the Furious, just because of the amount of technologies and hi performance parts they cant walk in and buy in a shop here. in here High Performance parts and technology are a few years behind.. i know what im talking about, these is not my first time living here in spain. ive been here before for a long time, my wife is from here, so i know what rolls in here and how they roll.. i know hi performance shops, and have friends that are into the tuning and modding world... probably in US ill be lucky to get $ 15,000 for my car, but in here i can ask what ever i want, of course a reasonable price, as you can see anybody will take these car over a Mazdaspeed 3 stock for the craziest amount of $ 43,000, these car have lots of market, and there is quite few fellas here i know with money that are just waiting to see these baby rolling on the spanish streets, but im very clear in my mind, THESE BABY IS NOT FOR SALE !!!!!
