2005 Toyota Echo Turbo For Sale (Updated with Pics)

Hola BCT'ers,

Time for me to give away my trusty reliable daily driven Toyota Echo to make way for newer opportunities. Details as below:

2005 Toyota Echo (Black Mica) 1.0 1szfe
- Manual (High Spec)
- Bought from NBT from new - Single owner (me)
- Original Everything - only aftermarket bling-bling wheel cover, Clip-on Exhaust Tip
- PIAA HID Lights (Back then it was going for $1.5K!)
- HKS Turbo Timer
- HKS Turbo Kit installed @ 10,000kms back in 2005 (likely to be the first!). Dyno proven from 68bhp to 98bhp with SHH Dyno chart available.
- Plugs changed at 100,000kms to OWS Iridiums.
- Mileage now @ 13x,000kms and running very strong. Turbo is not noisy and no side play on turbine & compressor section.
- Oil changed religiously every 10,000kms using ONLY Shell Fully Synthetic (no changing of brands, since from previous experience thats how you junk your bearings)
- Two Issues:
1) Paint job minor scratches and dings from daily roadwarrior duties (bugs/door dings) and also scratches from belahan kaca (kikik/ kite flyers) on hood and right side 'A' pillar { REPAIR DONE.... SCRATCH BEGONE!!}
2) Aircon compressor seems rather weak now as cooling is not so great for Mid-noon heat, but otherwise cool during mornings and later afternoons. As per Denso Lambak Aircon shop, compressor need replacing if u want it to be ice-cold.

My wife and i still enjoy driving this car about. Its quick, nippy and handles great! Believe me, we have other cars of 300-400bhp nature and still doesn't drive this good... hehehehehe

After careful evaluation of current prices in the Brunei Market..... 2005 Manual is selling at B$12k, i've decided to sell mine at B$14k (negotiable if interested). Don't you think this is a steal? or maybe i should ask for more

For just B$2k over current market value, you're getting a complete HKS turbo kit (plug n play), PIAA HID lights and a turbo timer! All worth around $8k when new.

Interested? Call or SMS me at 817 5561

BTW car was built up @ Sen Yeong Enterprise (Ask Allen, he knows it very well)

yes i remember this ride and also met the owner at shh pro before heh heh, well guys and gals if you're interested on buying give em a call.

If one of you buy this ride then ada jua dangan ku touge hahaha.

Bro,i'll try to post it up at the blog once my lappy is in a good mood huhuhu,by the way any picture? Engine bay,the car it self,the scratch.

Thanks.

Bro Smokey,

Hey thanks for the support there.... i'll try and get some pics of it since i just realised that i never had a photo of it in my collection.... padahal i took pics of every car i had owned and modded!! I guess it was just too practical of a daily driver.

Wah Touge around eh.... i miss those days.... maybe i can join you next time.... next compact project should be coming in a couple of days..... jeng jeng jeng...

FYI the car still pulls strong.... just a couple days, i blew away a Yaris 1.3 at 190kmh.... hehehehehe. Sedih ku liat the scratches.... stupid kite flyers.... unsafe eh... imagine, a friend of my lost his right hand side mirror to belahan.... he was driving one moment and a few minutes later his side mirror dropped off... anyways i'd probably get it patched up before i let it go.... liatlah if aku inda sibuk.

no problem since you help me few year back in shh pro,so i m returning the favour hehe.

Another new compact monster? That is awesome,yeah lets do some friendly touge soon when i m back to brunei or even better a time lap at stage zero hehe.

You heard that boys and girls nowdays kite flyer are on the loose,so watch out for those insane nylon,they already can cut those side mirrors,imagine what it can do to our body parts yikes! nauzibillah.

B.U.M.P

Price revised to B$12,000 for a speedy quick sale.... Roadtax and Insurance renewed and good for approx 1 year.

FYI, can still be financed via BIBD At-tamwil for $250 per month on maximum lease term.

bro i posted this topic at the bct blog this morning.

Cheers.
