hey im new here and i was looking at the scion Xa. i wanted this car b/c it looked like a vitz. and in Cali they dont make the HB one. we get the Echo sadan. but in canada there was a lot of those cars and i just fell in love with one. but back at home the only simliar one was the scion Xa. looking at the engine and all i was wondering if you could like switch some of the stuff around like a lsvtec crvtec kind of engine. and like its 1.5 economy car. i was wondering if i can resleeve and bore it out to like a 1.6 or 1.8 or go crazy and sccrew up the mpg to 20 by boring it out to 2.0 plus ahaha. im guessing the gear ratio are hella short since i been hearing at 70 ur revs are high. is there any longer gear ratios? i was into honda/acura and they have the B-series engine with interchagable parts and i been looking for other cars with the 1nz-fe engine that has better parts for this car. i want some longer gear gatio maybe better cams and pistons. im thinking like around 160-170 is good enough. with at leat 120 ft lbs. ahaha just want to do something crazy to this car but safe got to be safe. ahaha.
