Ok well first the car - i have a 1994 323 protege sedan(picture should be in avatar).
All it has is a set of rims aside from that its completely stock, but i want to change that.
Im am looking for anything that will of coarse increase the over all performance of the car(i cannot drive turbo cars as i still have my green p's, more acceleration would be great) but i also want it to look really good.
I have searched through thread after thread in search of a site that sells body kits etc for this model car and found nothing.
So if there is anyone here kind enough to help me that would be great, also if anyone is selling anything that you think i might want just pm me or post here.
Thanks to all who help

Wrong section, however its not in my ability to move it.
Since your on your P's and cant modify anything to do with the engine there isnt really much you CAN do to improve the performance.
Those wheels do look nice, though maybe a bit heavy, light rims and some weightloss would help, though something tells me you wouldnt agree with stripping your car :)
if you really wanted to push it and do some minor mods that you could get away with. try a simple list depending on your budget.
First up give it a FULL service and tune, do all the fluids, use the correct oil, get some iridium plugs gapped correctly and index them if you really want to. leads, cap and rotor if it has this style distributor. get the AFM cleaned correctly, clean your throttle body and intake area without letting it drip towards your engine, air, oil and fuel filters.
headers, with mandrel bent 2.25" piping all through, high flow cat, good resonator and a sports muffler (not a cannon).
If it has a points distributor (wouldnt think so on the more modern cars) go pick up something like a crane cams ignition system and convert it, ive seen some really positive results from this job done right and in the right cars (all depends how efficient your ignition system is stock really).
ie. there was a XR700 system by crane features in a mag somewhere a while ago, compared to new points in a datto 1200 (i know not a good comparison but still) it gained 20hp... though hell, dont expect that in a newer car.
a nice intake works in with the exhaust, though please dont just stick a pod filter inside your engine bay, all youd be doing is sucking up hot air from inside the bay. (even im guilty of this though)
sorry for the rant, but theres some info in there.

so it looks like crane cams got bought out so their product line on ignition stuff might be a bit iffy for a while, but I just had a look and im assuming yours is the BH protege with the B8 engine?
