My Echo's timeline
Cleaned up my pictures folder, and great memories are worth sharing!
First exterior mod! CF hood. Then came the koni yellows on eibach prokits, and other suspension bars. CarPC was the cooler thing to do back in the days of yore. I'm all about jamming stuff in, not like i'm trying to win awards. Didn't like the rear tail light pattern, had to do up something custom. And might as well overdo it everywhere else! Glare kits, shiny lips, all the rage! Then got bored of it. Retros, lighter rims, and buddy with a dslr! Somewhere I put an AEM intake on too, came off a yaris but whatever, it worked. I went through like 3 different exhausts, only snapped one which was the most awesome one. Currently just jammed on an apexi ws2 from a civic, looks like total ass but loud mufflers got boring. Threw in some el cheapo ricing seats Fun at the track, but it seems it wasn't for me. Been forever since i've last been to a yarisworld meet! I guess this was from 2008/9? 99.9WHP, won't even let me get to 100 :( Somewhere in 2011/12 I had a midlife crisis. Nothing interesting to do, lets just slap paint on rims! Ah hell, make a new carPC while i'm at it.... 2013, the year to get bagged and boosted. Lots of things I broke, and lots of lessons learned. Blingy gauges, adds +10hp each... according to butt dyno. OK now gauges are in, get this heap of metal in for some actual gains. Kit I bought had a blown turbo, took a while to find replacements that were less broken. Roof rack for snowboarding and biking! Hella bling. Air, carpc, amps. What a mess to put together. Testing those bags, those sexy bags. Sorta kinda hella not-so flush... ah screw it, camber it! Stupid looking air pressure gauge, so just build my own! Turbos melt shifter cables, gotta wrap that ish with heatwrap :( Time for new a rim color and i'm good for the season!

Hella scary moment at Mosport there. If the new seat photo was after the track pic, I'd be thinking you replaced them cause you shat yourself
Meet was 2008. That's me parked beside you.
