Protege5 2003
I got a new Protege5 not to long ago and the reason why I did not get the Protege speed is because of the higher cost.

If I am not mistaking I think the protege speed and protege5 both have a 2L engine. What I want to know is what does the MPS have more then the P5 that make it have all that power. Or if I put it this way, what MODs would I have to do (using MSP parts) in my P5 to get the same power as the MSP.

I had a protege 5 and couldn't handle not being able to accelerate. I got in the MSP and it was a different driving experience all together. suspension, feel of a turbo vs N/A. Its a lot less expensive to fix up the MSP, or has been for me so far. Than it looked for what it was gonna cost me to upgrade my mp5 to the same speed. I've spen like 1,000 on this car so far, and my friend that has always had DSMs(96GSX, 93 GST) said he could feel a night and day difference from the p5 to the MSP, and road with me last night and was like wtf. 14 psi rules :)
