Everything as you would get a new car?<p>No, seriously.. [url=http://www.protegetech.com,]www.protegetech.com,[/url] or www.protegeclub.com

what do you mean "look out for"? You mean problems or what kind of specs it has?<p>The 95 DX has a 1.5 liter 92hp motor that has ZERO aftermarket support. I think it is pretty unfortunate that mazda decided to put this engine in the 2nd gen proteges b/c all of the ownwers I see who own the cars simply can't modify them.<p>Another problem is the engine bay size. Smaller than the 1st gen protege makes it harder to swap a BPT into the car, although it is still possible.<p>The good thing about the 95 model year is it does NOT have OBDII (its obd I) which makes swapping engines to it easier on you. <p>I know a few people doing a BP swap to their 2nd gens at the moment. I'm hoping to drive up and help one of them complete his swap sometime this summer. I like the way the 2nd gens look a LOT, but there is simply a huge lack of aftermarket for me to ever consider buying one.<p>I like my 93 protege the way it is )
