ITB 1.8L protege has an FP-DE motor, ITA 1.8L protege is BP-DE, just liek the Escort GT/LXE. we looked at weight in both classes, power potential, and got input form a member of the committee who owns and races an ITA Escort GT and the sum of that data said to leave it in ITA. I'd agree it's not a likely podium topper, but we feel it's still too much for ITB.
