I don't plan on selling my Protege5 when I get my next car.. and I know what my project will be

i'll settle for a single turbo 13b though

wewt! First post on here since I joined forever ago.

Many of y'all probably know me.

Anyway, Kansei, @ the last autox I went to, there was an X-Prepared miata with a bridgeported, carbed 13b. Dude, that thing was a beast.
