Here's one of the only pics of my '94 LX I have. Hopefully I'll have more next week(maybe a few funny driving videos too).

Not bad for the price. Got a new clutch thursday, got the MX-3 leather shift boot and steering wheel center, xenon bulbs(don't laugh, they are brighter and aren't really blue, cost me nothing also), and finally found a set of floor mats.
I want to get the european Mazda grill with driving/fog lights, the Familia GT-X bumper, and some 15" wheels(MX-3 5 spoke, '99-'01 Protege 5 spoke, or '99-'01 Miata 15").

Here's my near-mint '88 SE:



Here's my near-mint '88 SE after a maelay with a Dakota:


It will be fixed though. Still runs great and becides a bit of wind noise isn't different from before the wreck.

Not bad MazKid. A few more mods and that will be an even nicer load to roll. Will the 15 inch Miata wheels work since that is a RWD car?

Hubs and bolt pattern are the same, I believe. The earlier Miatas (1990-1998) used a lot of older 323/Protege parts in their platform.

A lot of wheels will interchange in odd ways - just today I saw a Thunderbird with Taurus rims, and I'm told that early Millenia alloys will fit Nissan Maximas.

Check the offset. If they are more than 5mm then you may have a problem with fitment.

They'll fit, there's a guy with a 2nd gen Protege on the ClubProtege forum with the Miata wheels.

Ofcourse I could go with 16" Miata wheels, but they're too expensive and I'd have to go with very low profile tires, and there goes my driveability.

Here's mine...it's a bit updated, cause I got 20% tint on it now.
