Yeah! That's fresh out of Discount Tire. They won't shine them for you.

No room for side walls here! The rear was so close to the strut that they had to use sticker weights. The clamp ins actually were hitting something.

I think so to. Makes me want to keep her...

Anyone know where to get a swap done for a reasonable price? Thinking a built FSDE with turbo, or a KL swap, stand alone, and converting to manual if I do keep her...

That's a lot...

Input or suggestions are very welcome.

I wish I knew more about the protege and I would help you out but I don't know where to begin!

Well...ProjectBlack has a new home. It was a good 10 years with her.

Now I'm driving a 2009 Cadillac CTS4 3.6l. I like this car too.

Thanks everyone for all of your help and advice.

CTS4...nice car. Hugely different from the protege in every respect I imagine. How is it handling for you so far?

I love it. The CTS4 is AWD so I don't have to worry too much about winter, and this particular one is very well equiped. It is a different world, but something that I've wanted for a while.

My wife drives a 2007 Cadillac SRX AWD, and we really like that too. Not a lot of space, but there are only three of us.
