I just got the 2002 Toyota Echo. It’s a crazy machine to drive. I wanna make it more sporty and looking for its accessories. Please help me if anybody knows about that. Anybody who wanna see my new additions in my cool machine I would love to mail the pics. Will also like to share if anybody got some different one.

The Scions are based off the Echo platform so most Scion assc. should fit for engine and tranny, maybe even more! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/57.gif)

Do you mean sporty like stripes, lights, and things like that or do you mean "sporty" like suspension, engine modifications, and what not?

It's still so hard for me to get use to these "little" cars being the roadsters of today. It just seems that bigger should mean faster. It does make me think of that song that says "his horn went beep, beep, beep." about the big car trying to keep the little car from passing. Does anyone know what I'm talking about?

I know this doen't have anything to do with suspension, but I've got it stuck in my head now.

What are you talking about! Smaller LIGHTER cars will ALWAYS have a better power to weight ratio and ALWAYS be faster with the same engine. This BIG IS FASTER $hit has been told to American's by the big Three yor decades and it is total bunk. A Lotus IS FAST only casue it is small the engine is not the powerful but the car weighs only as much as a big motorcycle!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/banana.gif)

Ooh, me thinks I struck a nerve. I know that the reality is that the lighter it is the faster it will go, but I can't get the picture of them racing "Greased Lightning" at the end of Grease. Sorry. I need to get into the "Fast and Furious" mode.

well a C6 Z06 is bigger and faster...and it can be driven cross country comfortably. that Lotus is a nightmare. it's crampy, have no sound deadening, etc. strip a Z06 in this manner and it'll be even faster.

I agree, I have long legs and hated the Lotus. I thought it was just me on the sound....I thought it seemed to ride "hard" as well.

Exactly...whatever car it is, if I feel cramped, it is no good. More leg room, Lotus!

It's a trade-off though. If you want a roomier ride, you have to go with a bigger car, and that means heavier, and somewhat slower... Depends on what you want out of your ride.

I'd rather be in a heavier, less fuel efficient vehicle than a tin can on speed! Especially since you see more of them stopped by trees, other cars, and embankments because they were so light and fast.
