Hi Guys, Long time reader, but only join and posting today. Have a few questions... Have a stock 2004 Echo ( had it since new so know the engine's condition - 140000km's and running like a dream, over serviced, only run Optimax in it its whole life etc etc ) Time has come for mods as the kid has grown a lil and as its my wife car, i get to drive it when i'm allowed :o), would like to jazz it up a bit... kw wise.... Now........... Is it worth the money, or the kw increase to re build the motor, add extractors, full exhaust, bigger valves, pistons, cams etc or option 2.. How hard is it to swap the 1.3L for the 1.5L Sport Evo motor, ( bearing in mind i need to keep it auto for my wife, so fitting up the auto to the 1.5L motor, will the gear box handle it?? ) with a high possibility of rebuilding this ( 1.5L ) and zo0o0p it it up a little before install and also adding the extracors, full exhaust system etc once fitted ?? I am not really a body kit person and have only placed the Altezza light in the rear so far with the front on order. Suspension and rims ( i think a light weight 15" would be best ) would be done after all this. Any thoughts, input, contacts would be greatly appreciated. Thanking You Anroco
