I've never seen those rims before, imo it would look better in a darker color, but overall

 

[Vei1Side]

they are 19" Ro-Ja Formula 1's. Ro_Jas are basically the higherline to Motegi and they are designed by RJ De Vera.
THANKS!

what happened to the hood on the 1st 2 pics?

 

[Vei1Side]

thats silver carbonfiber... but i wasnt really feelin the style, so i took it off.

 

[richocet1]

thank the lord you lost the silver hood. it looks alot better now. i agree with ^^^ though, either a darker shade of rims or lighter shade of purple.

 

[Vei1Side]

lol, if i ever paint my car, ill make sure its dark.

ooo, well its a clean car

 

[ryanM]

i like the rims in the first two pics better, maybe a normal colored carbon fiber hood?

anyways, very nice box. i was kinda expecting either that or an element from the thread title

19"s

how long does it take that little Echo 1.5 to get to 60 now?

 

[itsmycookie]

it doesnt take that long. it has a greater accelration then my d15b7 civic. the 1.5 L 1NZFE is for fuel economy not for racing. and the rims are not yellow, they're gold. I dont really have a system right now because i have no funds. . There is no such thing as rice nowadays, only the rice you eat.

 

[Jezek]

I think it looks real good in the last pic

If the rims were a little darker, it would be dope....

 

[soswank]

man, you like that car? its really a box like you said. why not travel in a tube?

 

[joe7987]

not a big fan of the toaster....

There's definitely still such a thing as rice. And for the most part.. the xA and xB are kings of it. It's so hard to find performance parts for them aside from intake / header / exhaust... and even those are sparse.

but you can get some nice stuf from the factory tho for them like an optional stage 1 organic racing clutch, short throw shifter, cat back exhaust. i think its nice how much you can customize scions right from the factory.

its actually not very hard at all, lots of companies maybe performance parts for the xB and such, greddy has a turbo kit out for them not. i think it would be sweet to get that turbo kit and put it in the toyota echo (same engine) would be a sweet sleeper. anyway, the cars aren't my style but they're great for hauling stuff around, the musicians dream....the back was almost designed for hauling amps and guitars around

 

[cgpEJ6]

It's not bad, I wouldn't want an xB but I do kind of like them. What kind of future plans do you have for it? Is it a 5 speed?

 

[joe7987]

I will agree that there is a LOT you can do from factory... but aside from that there's just not much.

and yes, GReddy does make a kit for them..... but I think they're the only ones. And internals are non existant. Don't think I've ever even seen a cam or cam gear for them.

i don;t think so that;d give it like 160hp maybe and it would still lose to most cars on the road. plus echo;s are pieces of s**t
