Hello,

Just want to get some wild guesses from you guys..

How fast do you think my echo can do a 1/4 mile?

Its a 2003 Toyota Echo 1.3, 4 door, 69kw and about 800kg.

I wasnt sure if this should go in offtopic or not.

I will eventually do a run on the 1/4 but want to see what people think i can get :twisted:

18's sounds about right

by **Mr Revhead** » Wed Apr 26, 2006 8:58 pm

yeah 18s me thinks!

I reckon a mid to high 16 should be achievable - you people saying 18's just aren't considering the weight, or lack there of, of the thing. Of course you are also going to flame me saying that he needs more power but hey, 1/4 mile is all about power to weight basicly up to a point. It should get off the line well enough to do a 16 just don't expect a very high trap

yes im considering the weight
im also considering the fact iv driven several :wink:

IMO the 1300 is really underpowered. The 1500 is ok I guess. My mum has owned both, currently owns the 1300. In terms of 1/4 mile, I have no idea.

well yes power to weight is all very well and dandy, but at the end of the day you still need power.
My starter motor puts out more power than that thing :lol:

My liftback done a 17.2 when it still had the 4afe with noisy bearings and slipping clutch

Not sure how heavy it is but its damn heavier than an Echo. Im guessing low 17`s :wink:

by **barryogen** » Thu Apr 27, 2006 9:34 am

I say 17.3

chocy fish for the closest guess?

by **NA Drifter** » Thu Apr 27, 2006 2:45 pm

16.36 @ 82.3mph/132.9kph (that's if 800kg in total weight)

so it really depends on the driver weight

if you weight 100kg, then your new time will be..

17.01 @ 79.1mph/127.27kph

Has someone being playing with Car Test?

by **GorGasm** » Fri Apr 28, 2006 12:18 am

they weigh closer to 900-1000kb than 800.

I reckon 18's
