This MSP is a fun, little car. It EASILY gets 30MPG every tank and is very quick with all the modifications done. It tracks straight, brakes well, and corners hard. The best thing about this car is that you pay regular Protege insurance costs without driving a regular Protege. This car has never let me down and is VERY reliable. I make hour long trips to and from Houston four times weekly and it doesn't hesitate one bit.

nice car. what kind of power does it put down?

I'm not sure. I've never had the car dyno'd.

By the seat of the pants dyno, I'd have to say it runs mid-high 13s with the stock turbo and at the stock boost level. If one was to raise it, tune it, and swap the bigger turbo on it I'm sure it'd dyno close to 350-375.

I've just lost interest in the car. Ready to move onto something else.

A few more pictures that people have been asking for. You'll notice the BBK is not included, the tail lights are now red, and the front tint has been removed.

It's not clean yet, though!

Sorry!
