Prodigy's Protege [before reverting back to stock]

[PRODIGY]

I thought I'd finally post some pics up here.
I never posted pics due to the number sketchy people that used to be on here.

Now, I'm reverting the car back to 100% stock in favor of keeping the parts for the race car.
That and I want a miata as a DD.

What does IA think? :thinking:

Chris man I've always loved your car. I can't wait to see your track monster come together. the sleeper was fun but the track demon will be better. Always loved Fefe man.

[Revmaynard]

After this many years? You should post shots of it from back in the day when we would cruise in it! Lol.

[Revmaynard]

Btw, mind if I post some old old old pictures I have of it?

[cactusEG]

[PRODIGY]

:cheers: I loved the MSM rims so much! I had more but my old computer crashed. So this all I have left of the 100 or so before.

[vkash1208]

makes me miss my old es 2.0 protege...that was my very first car.

[WalkS]

wow i'd never knew that car was turbo charged from the pic in your sig.
But your new project will be interesting, keep us updated :goodjob:

[Logan]

hey man, if you want to sell that corbeau let me know.

I've been trying to find one that matches my driver side one for awhile.

Nice car even stock, and sick project.

[JITB]

nice as always... didnt u have a 1st gen before the es?

[Revmaynard]

Nah, this is his first car since like 14 lol. The '02 is an LX.

[Revmaynard]

Fa sho! He's always been a Mazda lover at heart. He just wants rwd goodness. lol

[Marta Mike]

One word..........Sick! Nice work man!

[PRODIGY]

Yeah, they're fun cars to drive through the twisties but painfully slow stock.

I guess the sig worked! :ninja:
Thanks.

It'll be up for sale relatively soon. I'm getting a set of Kirkey's to replace the corbeau + mazdaspeed seat.
I'm going on one last Dragon's Tail run at the end of the month before I part it out.

That would be Danny... but he totalled his boosted red ES.
The s13 needs some lovin... all $2008 of it. :doh:


Fa sho! He's always been a Mazda lover at heart. He just wants rwd goodness. lol

Sad thing is that I didn't know WTF a mazda was (with exception to the RX7) back then.
RWD FTMFW..... That'll be the only drawback to the race car.


One word..........Sick! Nice work man!

Thanks man!

[JITB]

oh yeaaa danny, what ever happened to that dude?

[PRODIGY]

oh yeaaa danny, what ever happened to that dude?
He's still posting.. look for AZDriftR.

[puregroove]

for some reason, I think your car is sick, dude.... It's a breath of fresh air. Nice, nice work. You definitely have reps from me. The first two pics are super fresh. If the first pic had less angle and a straight-on view of the car, it'd be an insta-save.

[blackshine007]

No VTEC, No cares. :tongue1:

[Random Hero]

Dope indeed...nice job man!.

[PRODIGY]

Thanks again guys.


No VTEC, No cares. :tongue1:
I'll put a few vtec stickers on the race car for ya. :D

Thanks.

Sorry about the angle...The picture was taken from inside the Cougar Ace (the failboat that brought the mazdas to the US). :D

[Sport1.3]

He's still posting.. look for AZDriftR.


Nah tiz me here


Chris i always liked your LX, still reminds me of my ES...Garnet mica 4 life!! lol. I was gonna call shinanigans on reverting back to stock, but that chassis would be sick to work with :goodjob: you ever dyno your setup? i remember when i was murdering Kevin when he had your same kit.....poor bastard and his 4.2139802139 psi :lmfao:

I'm in the process of finding another gen1 again, might be seeing me alot more on mazda247

[Fox351]

I really like it with the Miata wheels on it man. On the engine side...The turbo is sick...much respect for doing something different.

[PRODIGY]

Thought I'd give a preview of the race car... painted!

the boosted engine + built trans will be going in next week.
it won't be driving for some time until I build a custom wilwood big brake kit for it

[matthewAPM]

Nice Emod car. What are your plans with the new one?

and are you going to autocross the miata?

[Revmaynard]

Nice overspray. Lulz, I may need to use yer tools to change out that axle this Wed if you're free.

That shit was hotter back when we rode around in it in '05. LOL ;)

[JITB]

looks great. haven't been looking at your thread...lately.

[PRODIGY]

I'd keep the miata strickly as a DD(still haven't found one cheap enough yet) mostly because I don't have the funds to start/support a second race car.

The caged chassis will be a overkill autox car --> hill climber --> time-attack racer.
All depends on cash on hand since it'll increase by a good margin at each step of the way.

It was also faster before... the roll cage won't help reduce my overall weight.
The overspray will disappear when the interior gets some paint next week. :D

i'll be free assuming I have the engine/trans swapped outta the red car by then.

Thanks man.. I haven't done much for awhile.
(kinda hard to work on a car 130 miles away)

[87 Turbo II]

Dude Chris! We need to chill sometime, andthe FB has come a long way, no mo cardboard, and anew interior swapped, It's also sitting on stickier rubber and the brakes are redone. Yo'd be so proud of me, instead of asking for your help every step of the way I've actually done a lot of the work on my car myself! Seriously though, give me a call, we need to hang, and DEF come to zoom fest this year.

I know how it is. Once I stopped autocrossing in STS and moved to time attack, my budget doubled and that included running pro solo's and National Tours...having fun gets expensive
