I don't mind if people improve the performance of their cars, but the Protege is a friggin economy car. Getting good fuel economy and being cheap to own is a primary focus of the economy car class. If you want a sports car, buy a Miata.

The Protege isn't actually an economy car anywhere but America... In Japan, it's still too large and fast to be considered an econo-box. The car comes with a BP-series 1.8 turbo engine in Japan.
The Ford Escort was pretty much only an economy car in America too...
