I would say, judging by the pictures of the workshop, that the customer got the job they should have expected. The 2ZZGE fitment into Echo has been discussed many times before. I've not seen or heard of either a road going, or race, version of this mod in NZ. But I have a little experience of this conversion and believe that's what barryogen was referring to in his earlier post. This is what I had to say on Toyspeed. I've highlighted the important bits. "2ZZGE swap. I think this has been covered before. There's a quite famous European Yaris which had this engine installed. (this is the red car in the pictures at the beginning of this thread) This was a show car only - not a road going car - built as a marketing exercise for Yamaha (we were told). It was arranged by a design company called Activa. I contacted them directly at the time for some information and they were happy to oblige sending me drawings and photographs of the install and particularly the modifications required to the chassis rail. Such was the extent of these modifications that they advised that it would be unlikely to pass a compliance test in any country with any meaningful design standards. " The major issue was the extensive cutting and reshaping of the drivers side inner rail in order to centre the engine/gearbox. If this work hadn't been done in the conversion we've seen here, and I suspect it hadn't, the whole thing would be off centre and this may account for the engine mount issues. The angle of the motor doesn't look right either.
