Hey guys,

I'm mainly interested in the body dimension differences.

N. Amer Echo- http://www.toyota.com/html/shop/vehicles/echo/specs/echo_specs.html

Jap Vitz - The four-door sedan shares its underpinnings with the Vitz/Yaris hatchback, including the 2370-mm (93-in) wheelbase and front 1450-mm (57-in) and rear 1430-mm (56-in) tracks. The car is 3760 mm (148 in) long, 1600 mm (63 in) wide, and 1675 mm (66 in) tall—150 mm (6 in) longer, 60 mm (2.5 in) narrower, and 75 mm (3 in) taller than the hatchback. http://www.sae.org/automag/globalview_05-00/04.htm

Would bodykits for a Vitz fit a N. Amer. Echo (aka Platz in Jap.)?

What other performance parts are avail for the Echo?

Also, if any of you have links to Echo (not Vitz) forums, pls share. Lafora?

there are a few platz body kits out there... I have a cold air intake ( from E.L. Prototypes ), Corolla injectors will fit the Echo (both are 200cc but the corolla injector is a higher velocity one), and intrax springs...
But here's a few part I found for the Echo... Ground control has coil overs sleeves for the Echo, Intrax and B+G makes springs also, S-AFC will work with the Echo also, Blitz Japan has a supercharger kit, Top Secret's supercharger kit also works, HKS Japan also has a turbo kit TDO4 turbo, Tanabe Japan also has a Tanabe Racing Medallion exhaust for it, C-WEST has a pre-programmed ecu for the echo, Theres a company in Austrialia with single individual throttle bodies for it, TOMS has a couple of stuff for it like exhaust, springs, extra...
Now if you want to go crazy you can order a bunch of stuff from TRD Japan like LSD, whole set of Gears, Racing Clutch, and coil over system.
But for now you can order the strut bar and the rear cross member for the Echo from Toyota Guys.com ... Good luck...
