  • The new Beater-Mobile....42mpg!

    In less than one week after selling my 1.8-swapped 323, I buy another car.

    I have a disorder or something.

    Pics:






    no rust, bling bling










    Its got 127k miles, but its the base model. Only option it had was A/C

    I already added the 8-way adjustable seat in the top-of-the-line ES model, the passenger & rear 60/40 fold-down seats to match, tachometer gauge cluster, domelight w/maplights, remote trunk release (for some reason it only had fuel door release ONLY), covered center console w/flip-up lid, digital clock. Only thing it still needs is that fender...but luckily there isn't any damage on the door or the hood, just scuffs from the bumper of the other car.

    On the first tank, it got 42mpg, pretty much all highway driving. The second tank netted me 35.3 in mostly city stop & go driving. I plan to use it for a beater/daily driver, possibly some pizza delivery until I find a real job.

    The price was definitely right . I already gutted out some stuff to remove some weight, but I'm not going to mod it. I'm just gonna add some nicer speakers, swap my head unit over from the mx3 (same wiring harness kit) and possibly shove a ebay intake on it since air filters for this car cost like $22 for replacements....might as well buy a friggin intake for that much money.

      Protege's are pretty comfy little cars though. I almost bought one about a year after I got my Cavalier but my man couldn't fit in it and at the time we were a one car household.
