I read on the list:

REEEEALLY?  A burbly exhaust TIP adds 10 hp?  Wowsers!  And a rear spoiler -
not a part of the engine - can add 15 hp to the engine's output? Holy Geez,
I've found the long-fabled "Fountain of Horseypower!"


    Well the key to the spoiler adding that horse power is the neccesity for
it to be a different colour to the rest of the car.  Stripes are a big HP
addition as well, BTDT.  Check the link for my Jetta in the sig below.  The
Jetta lent itself to HP upgrades, especially with a little known secret
upgrade, the Fuba antenna.  Because on the Jetta it was real and functional,
I beleive it added 15 HP instead of the standard 5 you get with the glue on
kind.

Quote Recently heard at my moms house: "You know what your brand new Toyota
Echo needs?  Some stripes."
