I was leaving the local Wal-Mart parking lot the other day when I saw this...

It intrigued me enough for me to circle around it...

That is a giant turbo stick out of what used to be the hood. This thing must be a riot to drive...

I wonder how many transaxles it’s gone through. I heard the open diffs were glass in the Mazdaspeed variant.

This is some Roadkill type contraption. I want it.

Surprisingly, there are tons of these around where I live. And one of them is in fact a sleeper.

I like the one non-matching wheel

This. Everything about the drivetrain is glass

It was the Protege. Now it’s the Master.

I would buy that for under $2000, put all the stock panels back, tune and make it my own, and then paint it like the one above for the ultimate sleeper

but then again, I could just do my own build instead

That is a 2003, since it has the 2003 mags and side markers.

Can’t believe it has no rust.

Bought mine April 2003, started to rust march 2004.
