This is a limited edition MAZDASPEED Protege'. It came from the factory with a fully tuned Racing Beat suspension, Callaway engineered turbo system, Tochigi-Fuji limited slip differential, 450 watt stereo from Kenwood, and Racing Hart wheels. It now is nearing 300whp on the stock motor, all because of good (safe) tuning and a great airflow setup. A fully built motor with Oliver rods and CP pistons will be thrown in eventually.

Huge thanks to Mental Addiction Motorsports, BoostSciences, the other half of DX:50 Motorsports, Dave Hemsing, SpeedLab, Special Effects Performance, and Audio Connection for helping me make this car what it is today.

Stock MAZDASPEED Protege' output is ~150whp at 7psi.

Latest dyno:

277.4whp and 274.1wtq at 12psi
