Talking New to the blog and first mod!!!

Just purchased a Toyota Echo and starting out with solid mileage. Found this blog and been geeking out on all the cool stuff it has to offer.

FIRST MODS!

Disabled the power steering pump.
Will delete and reroute hoses with a reservoir when I change the clutch

Junk From The Trunk
Don't know if its a true mod, but I will take it! Removed the spare tire
and all associated gear


Can't wait to keep this stuff up. Its exciting and its a great excuse to get my hands dirty on a project.
