'02 Protege sedan in Adelaide

bjk · 30-10-2012, 02:38 PM

Hey folks.

Greets from the humble gold protege.

Not much exciting. First car bought with help from dad (an ordeal, don't ask, haha) with 140K. Auto 1.8L (as my brother can't drive manual)
When she was new.

A while after I scraped the front bumper.

And with some goodies installed with the help of a friend. Do note, make sure you order the right intake for your transmission.

Looking to get a set of 17s when funds allow! And dreaming of an SP20 conversion.

Welcome mate!! Glad to see another Protege, especially from Adelaide!

17's would look good on it for sure, especially with the gold colour of the car.

EDIT: What part of Adelaide are you from?

I've been eyeing off a few things, tossed up between local, and then Tempe Tyres in NSW, or Tire Rack in the US. Moving out next year, so have to keep an eye on funds.

At the moment I'm in the north-east suburbs.

I'll probably see your car around sometime; North eastern suburbs are where I'm based too

I'll have to keep an eye out for a silver with the black M! Don't think I've seen you yet. I'm in Northgate, if that orientates you a bit more.

I think the official name was "Galaxy Gold". Feels very 2000's, haha.

Most immediate plans are wheels and/or exhaust. Haven't decided which I think is more important yet, as the tyres are still fairly new, but I dented the rim on one and it has a slow leak. As much as I'm hating on the stockies, I might end up doing the exhaust as it's cheaper and easier to notice for driving enjoyment!

I have noted there seem to be a lot of Sp20 Astina's.
