Bassslayers Echo

[bassslayer]

as it was when I bought it.

Dirty Interior

stripped out

silver sportivo bumper and mags

painted with cans!!!

sportivo h/l's and bumper fitted

Door card swap and tints

S1 interior swapped out for S2

Garage Vary front lip

HKS Coilovers vs standard

stance!

C-ONE strut brace, I was all "I'm gonna polish it back to mint condition" after an hour it went in as is!

No name cannon, straight from Japan, direct bolt in replacement. Has a bit of low growl just before 2000rpm then starts getting noisy again after 3500.

Decent photo of the rear coily install.

LED tail lights and HKS pod.

Awesome echo!

Respect on the front bumper job with cans !

Is it me or the "stance" photo isn't loading ?

P.s. I told my friend his echo has potential,he don't believe me, now he will!

Not sure if I'm sold on the wheels and side skirts, otherwise, hell of a job.

Id be tempted to avoid the car for the interior alone.. since the work required to put in the new dash is more than Id be willing to deal with to change the colour! (Id insead just wait for an Echo with the ideal interior) Your hard work paid off though, it looks great!

The pics of the suspension look like the driveway, not a mechanics workshop. Did you install them yourself? was that a difficult process? I may have to do something similar with my rav4 sometime soon.

Sweet Echo! Has come a long way from when you got it. Digging the pocket rocket stylez

[bassslayer]

I've done everything myself, I've had someone check my work, first time I changed the front suspension over to other stock ones I did something wrong but it got picked up during alignment. Easy little cars to work on, dash change over took 3 hours, coilovers 3 hours as well, pod filter 20 mins, strut brace an hour (gotta take the wiper motors and linkages out) just patience is the key.

You must be really good with your hands since it would take me at least 1.5-3 hours longer to do that sorta stuff due to me double and triple checking for missing screws bits n' pieces as well as taking photos along the way just in case.. of course it helps if the car isnt so old that you are fixing someone elses "handy" work or damage from the previous owners.

how the hell do you *rate* or *like* in this forum?

if i knew how id have done so on this thread by now!

keep it up man! from 1 diy'er to another :P

[bassslayer]

someone elses "handy" work

I found neons under the dash and cut an alarm out of the loom in that time too, started it each time I cut a wire so it wasn't too hard to backtrack.
