Nothing really special about my car yet. I just bought in mid-September at San Jose, CA at a car lot dealer and got it for $5,600. It was my birthday present from my parents!! Everything is manual like the transmission, windows, and locks. There's no option extra features, it's just a base model. It's a black 2-door coupe. Still everything is stock. The first thing I'm going to do first and the only thing to do probably is suspension. I'm going to start out with the strut front tower bar, stablizer/sway bars, under brace, shocks/springs, etc. I just want to improve handling than power. I most likely don't want to build power like exahust, intake, etc. So probably in the future though. But right now is suspension I want to do for my Platz aka Echo.

Only thing done I've done to the car was. A new deck, I have a JDM license plate in the front & just blue headlights. I'm going to tint it next and might think about some subs and speakers next. Then maybe an car alarm. I changed the oil recently last month and I'm due to 2,000 miles more to go. I replaced the air filter & cabin air filter. Basically everything is OEM. No mods yet, so that's all I can explain about my car. I replaced my tyers 700 miles ago and it's filled with nitrous air from Cosco. I burned out my tyers because I was swinging it around before and my tires got bald and had cracks already. Oh yeah I save so much gas, I average with a full tank of around 350 miles estimated.

I am disappointed, but the site where the purchase finishes being given to on Internet is not found.
May not you purchase J.D.M tuning of that place in a proud shop?
