Smile Throttle body

I have a 05 Echo. I enjoy playing around with engines and such. I purchased a used throttle body for 20 bucks and modified the butterfly, cleaned and painted the outside. I put it on the 05 and it seemed to work fine but idled high. I decided to put the original throttle body back on. I reworked the butterfly on the used throttle body and put it back on again, same issue. So I put the original back on again. I found an 04 throttle body from florida on e-bay and bought it. I spent the last few weeks just polishing the outside of the throttle body and cleaning the bore and butterfly, it looks awesome. I put it on tonight and went for a drive. It works very well, does not seem to be any problems, I iwill take a photo and post it. All just for fun.

Excellent. These cars have alot of potential due to their low weight.
Mine doesnt even weight a ton after some simple weight reductions.

I really want to see how a car like this feels a something like 200hp but I bought this car to be my reliable daily driver so Im not going to find out haha.
