ok smart guy, the only difference between the protege bp's and miata bps are that you guys have solid lifters as opposed to hydraulic and your cam profiles are different. Many people swap to the miata head to rev higher. A gtx swap can be EASILY found, if you cant find one you are retarded. A gtr swap is another story. I dont make the car out to be more than it is, i say the car has potential and you make it out to be a POS. I've had my mx-3 for awhile, so dont try to teach me about a car that i know every last nut and bolt about. All the swaps i listed are respectable seeing as the car runs 17s stock and all the swaps i listed about are 15sec and below swaps. Theres nothing wrong with swapping a motor. Oh and AWD has been done on an mx-3 on a few occasions, i'd be more than happy to make you feel crunchy and post the link so everyone can see it and you can look like a moron, or i can PM you the link and you can feel like a moron by your lonesome, you choose.
