hi guys, have just joined your forum and are hoping to give and recieve some helpful tips. I currently run a 1995 ba 1.8l protege as a khanacross / hillclimb car , i picked it up for $300 and have been thrashing it at the meetings for 3yrs and its still going strong [great motor so strong] . i've grafted a BA falcon throttle body onto the manifold along with BA falcon injectors this gave it better throttle response and felt more torque . i've since added homemade strut braces and extractors as well as king springs in the front and chopped the rears to level it up oh and a 2.5 in exhaust out the side. This makes for a great fun thing to drive

.photo's to follow soon

Hi mate. That sure sounds like a beast.
Im just up the coast from you. What hillclimbs and such are you into? Mix with the grafton hillclimbs much or track it at Raleigh?

Welcome, did you convert the throttle body to cable or is it still fly by wire?
