    I once had an Echo when I was in college. Fun little car because it was 5 speed, and I kind of kick myself for selling it.

    Generally, start here before modding your car: http://www.grandprixforums.net/threa...00-Powered-Car!!

    I would make one addition to the above linked thread... Get a scan tool, either an Aeroforce, ScanGauge II, or Torque App for Android... that way you can scan for KR.... Knock Retard... it's caused by too much heat in the engine/too few mods... Too much KR and you start chipping pistons.

    Fast/cheap/reliable. Pick two
    2003 GT Limited Edition 199k - The $600 winter beater.
    2004 Buick LeSabre 172k - Top Swapped, 3.5 pulley, 1.9 rockers, SLP headers... still slow...
    MAKE AMERICA FAST AGAIN!

    Get spo grilles and cut off the ugly pig snouts off and get some chrome quad spo exhaust tips. The pig snouts ruin the whole look of the car.Get rid of the chrome pillars. They look tacky lol
