1st gen pro'- 94'

Its a 94' Mazda Protege. Black with gray int. Black and Blue seat covers, very clean int. almost perfect. Cold A/C. 153k miles and redlines real easy (runs very strong needless to say) perfect mechanical condition. Has a 1.8L sohc. Rated at a stock 130hp. Black mostly good paint hood and front fenders need some touch up from rocks off the highway, Custom painted stock grille. No major dents just a few parking lot dings. Alpine cd player with 2 pioneer 5 1/4's up front and 2 road-master 6 1/2's in back. Two red decals on hood. Has a 4-inch neon on the back of the center console. 9004SB (super blue) headlight bulbs. For pic's go to http://members.cardomain.com/importspeed900 . Its a great daily driver, gets about 34mpg.

For any questions e-mail me at websurfer970@coconet.com.

Was planning on pimpin it out, But Im a big Z-car fan and looking at buying one as a project instead of investing all my money into this.

Sorry man but u have the sohc motor which was rated around 103 hp not quite sure the exact number. The 90-94 1.8 Dohc motor was 125-130 hp and redlined at 7000 rpm not 6000 like your sohc dx. All 90-94 LX proteges came with the dohc ..Jon

and I know about what engine were in the DX vs LX. You dont need to tell me.

Well the J-spec GTR motor which comes with 215hp stock with a restrictive intake exhaust and head design. If u P&P the head throw a 3 inch turbo back exhaust and a cone filter u will be pushing about 300 hp. But they only made about 2500 of them and 200 were in GTR-AEs which u will probly never find. So its very hard to find. Why buy a nissan i have a GTR motor ?

And to your comment of the motors sucking. First off its the same motor as the miata and they have been know to push 350-400 hp with stock internals. And the GTR motor does not have a T3/4 turbo it has a Vj-23 ballbearing turbo ( on your cardomain site) ..Jon

a 300zx will beat the hell outta a pro, besides the simple things, much more driveable, more fun to drive, and no more ricers that wanna race.

I actually check with my ins, I pay every 45 days and I would be paying a little over what I am now, $200 per 45 days. And Its not that hard to find one that cheap you just have to look around. Sometimes they need some work but not too bad unless its real low mileage.
