Well, I have a Mazdaspeed Protege, it rocks. Being one of only 1500 car’s built for US production (250 for Canada) is pretty neat. Well, neat - but not quite neat enough. I went ahead and started modding it to help maximize the performance whilst retaining a few key factors:

Must be daily drivable
Must use pump gas
Must smite all relative competition into the pavement at the track
Must retain stock exterior look with regards to body panels

The following pages are my progress thus far.
