Looking for a new car to mod?	Mon, 17 June 2002 22:05

Those who are after some cheap performance should take note of this... I was driving home the other night when I happened to stop at the lights beside a new Toyota Echo, still adapting to the new clutch and flywheel I am having to give it a few revs off the standing start so as not to stall the car now that the brass button is in. Anyway the guy in the Echo must have thought that I was wanting to race so he started to give it a caneing, doing my usual trick I let him go a bit holding the engine at 4500rpm waiting for him to change before I floored it past him...... but he just kept reving so I put the boot right in, it was a very close thing through all the gears and it was only after breaking the speed limit a couple of times over that I finally pulled him back and got in front. Im sure the bloke was having a good laugh because he very nearly pipped me, which would have been a little embarassing had I not had Rod in the car with me...we just looked at each other not believing how much power these little cars had. So in the near future I can see a whole lot of these cheap little cars getting a few minor upgrades and being quite competitive in the class range, they are definately not something to dismiss quickly from a traffic light drag [Report message to a moderator]
