I wish the Echo had the Celica drivetrain!! The 108hp engine is good fun to tool around town. In the lightweight Echo it makes the car quicker than Civics and such overall, but it's major advantage is fuel economy.
The car is under warranty right now so there's no engine mods on it save for an intake and exhaust. The suspension is Tein Type HA coilovers with stress bars, sway bars, underbody frame braces and all. The car has braided SS brake lines, short shifter, and lots of aesthetic mods like the CF hood and front lip, JDM badging, HID headlamps, window tints, etc.
