So Im walking across the parking lot today, and I see a guy I know changing a wheel bearing on some acura so I stop to talk to him. The guy who owns the acura says "Are you the guy with the mx-3?" and Im like "Yeah" Then he said "I have a buddy up in calgary who has almost the exact same thing done.. " "Ohh yeah?" I said, Then hes like "Yeah, JDM engine, 'stage 3' turbo, hks blow off valve and he has the whole front end converted to the protege 5 front end with a wide body kit."
Ok yeah sure.. 'stage three' What the hell does that even mean? do you know? Tell me what turbo hes using.. I want to know A/R ratios damn it! Its one of those things where youre talking to a person and you just feel like they are making it up on the spot. I should have tried to outwit him with my superior knowledge on the subject.
Has anyone heard of someone with a front end conversion on an mx-3 of a protege 5? I dont think this dude knows what hes talking about. The general chit chat seemed like he read it out of a magazine or something and was trying to be 'cool'.
Anyone know?
