Well as much as i love my Vibe GT, it just doesnt have the amount of "Balls-to-the-wall" power that ive had in previous cars. I was talking with my Aunt about a week ago about letting her precious '99 Trans Am go. I was plesently suprised when she said she was looking to sell it. This car ...

TheDude

LoL, thats from the snow storm we had here in Raleigh not to long ago, I dont watch that station for listings of closings so i cant say if they were hacked or not, the pics taken of the TV look legit to me though

TheDude

Ok, this isnt one of those completly riced out civics you always see on ebay for sale. This is just one funny person trying to sell her car, after getting out of a bad relationship. Just read the information and see what im talking about. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...=6256

I had(took it all out to be redone) a single audiobahn Flame Q 12" sub that was quoted for 1100RMS and 2200 Peak. Powering it i used a 2002 series Rockford X6 amp, putting out close to 1000RMS. I also has a 3 farad audiobahn cap with a built in D-Block. Throughout the system i used 1/0 guage wi...

TheDude

that was awsome, and the damn cheater took the case shell and that was it, priceless

TheDude

Well i dont think 5 cars would do it for me, but anyways here is my list.1. 1988 Pontiac Fiero with the v-8 swap, yeah i want a supercharged LS1 in there2. 1993 VW Corrado VR6 with a turbo kit3. 1968 Chevelle drop top, numbers matching4. 1996 Supra or RX-7 tricked out as my rice killer5. The Warthog...

TheDude

The last episode for season 2 was a joke on the audience, It was to see how many people would fall for it. I dont think you can act like the osbourns live

TheDude

i hardly ever use my storage area, if i need room i use the back seats, i hardly have people in my car, usually take some one elses when my friends get together

TheDude

very nice, i just purchased a rockford for my system as well, i picked up the 2002 model X6, claims 850rms, but is known to push upwards of 1000rms. Im building a cheezy box right now to hold me over untill im done with my fiberglass. Im running my 0/1 gauge wire today, and im waiting on my audiobah...

TheDude

i've heard good from memphis, i do a lot of cars that have some memphis equipment on them to begin with. Not a lot of people have it so thats always a plus. If your looking for ultimate SQ go with MacIntosh(not the computer). Extremely powerful and very very little distortion. a 4x100watt amp at 4 o...

TheDude

it was said that dogs and the occasional human were parts of its appetite

TheDude

i know that yamaha makes the 2zz, do they also make the 1zz? maybe thats why there is a shorter demand of the 2zz, b/c yamaha cant keep up

TheDude

its a pain in the (removed), lemme tell you. Im doing a sub-floor, so i removed everything that i can unbolt. I have the spare tire, cover, and lift cover out, as well as that pocket behind it close to the seats. I have the mold of it all done, but im not sure where to go from here. This is gonna be...

TheDude

Im currently doing an off again, on again project right now

TheDude

its like that here too, and i work in dozons of cars a day. I tend to get used to it now. Its fun to shock other people though, kinda gets the moral of the install bay up. Its been hell with the holiday season. Everyone is gonna be getting their stereo's for christmas, which means hundreds of people...

TheDude

yeah i know how to drive a manual. There is no problem with the clutch anymore, thats what i was trying to say. For about 5 miles, the clutch wouldnt engage fully, which is why i was confused. All of my cars have been manuals, and i've never experienced something like that before

TheDude

I have the pioneer DEH-8500 in my vibe. I absolutely love MP3. since i work at best buy, i get CD's all the time...at least 10 a month, and thats not an understatement. About every couple of weeks i compile about 12-14 CD's into a MP3 CD. gotta love it!

TheDude

i got 11000 miles on it, so its still a babyok i got good news, it stopped slipping like a mo-fo. I took it out this morning to see if it was drivable to work, and i had no problems at all. I wanna know why it wouldnt engage at all last night, but worked fine today. There is still the burning clutch...

TheDude

just what i need now, oh well, at least is covered by warrenty

TheDude

LOL me and my friends were talking about homo-hobbits the entire time. We thought Sam and Frodo were gonna turn out to be lovers by the end...anyways, it was a good movie. I saw the midnight showing tues. night/wends. morning. I didnt get out untill 3:45 or so. Great movie though.My theatre was offe...

TheDude

its like i cant get any power out of the engine b/c the clutch woulnt engage....kinda like when you burn the clutch out in first by having your foot half way down, it'll move, but no power is there...give it some gas and the RPM's just shoot up with no major increase in speed...I guess thats what it...

TheDude

Now i've done a search, but couldnt exactly find what i was looking forNow then, my transmission is slipping through every gear! I've stopped the car, shut it down and let it rest for a moment before going, yet it still slips really badly. Anyone know what the problem is, or has had the same problem?

TheDude

very nice job Geo, i absolutely hate it when people mount neons, yet allow the bulb to show. Great job hiding the neon up in the dash

TheDude

lol, this is turning into a 1zz vs. 2zz war here, lol...im just debating it, thats all. As it was put, i can lower the compression insted of the swap...i'll look around for parts

TheDude

yeah, project matrix was like 6 months ago or so, the kit has only rescently been completed...It shouldnt be too dificult in the least but, just finding a mechanic i can trust

TheDude

i've considered nos, but i really dont want to use it. I want the power to be there all the time, not limited to short shots

TheDude

i've been looking deeper into the XS turbo kit, and thanks Nervous_Dog, newcelica helped me out a lot...All im doing now is saving my cash, so i got time to debate over it. I would love to have the XS kit on the 2zz, but i havent heard from anyone thats had it for extended miles, i want to know the ...

TheDude

thats the same way and location of the antenna, that i did mine, but mine went down the drivers side...I had the direct wire XM, so i hid the box hidden under the rear seats

TheDude

i gotta see what mine is, i got full coverage on it, plus another speeding ticket to boot!

TheDude

here is their websitehttp://www.techniciantrainingprograms.com/home.jspi gotta do some reading on it as well

TheDude

The phoenix campus is the main campus, and the one i would go to as well. I was debating UTI for some time now, but im gonna hit up a technical college in my area first. Depending on what you want to get inot i'll tell you about another campus, here in North Carolina. Its recently, or soon to open, ...

TheDude

i had a small rock hit my windshield as well, a nice little divit and crack around it...its at an angle where i cant see it b/c of my rearview mirror, if i dont think about it then its not really there

TheDude

im young as well, 19 at that...i dunno with in a week but give it time you'll know though when you are

TheDude

lol right on...i was wondering about the xs-enginnering kit, but i want to hear from a celica that has had if for a while....266hp and 186tq at the wheel is f'n outrageous

TheDude

that blinky red LED is the Anti-theft light, it has no effect on the electrical of the car, its just scaring of theifs

TheDude

lol that jack one is a trip..that lady got pissed

TheDude

the remote wire is on both harnesses, so just hook them up, but its pretty much another switch power, only on when the HU is on

TheDude

Quote, originally posted by ragingfish Â» question though: would you be able to use a 6 speed with a 1ZZ?I was hopeing so, thats the only reason why i would do the swap and not trade the GT for a base vibe

TheDude

i install changer all the time, none yet in the vibe however. But based upon the dozons of cars that i have done RF changers in, i havent had a single problem with them. Its not gonna be CD quality due to the fact that its going through FM, but its still nice. One thing to make sure of is that you p...

TheDude

usually on the wiring harness for the car, i belive ours uses a 70-2003 metra...and the harness for your aftermarket HU, it has a blue or a blue with white wire which is the remote wire for your amp...just hook that up and it'll turn on the amp

TheDude

Allright, i know it sounds odd, but hear me out. I want to turbo the GT, however i realize the dificulty of it due to the high compression and fuel management problems, among other things.The 1zz is of course the better choice for the turbo set up, as some of our members have already done. Now i hav...

TheDude

Quote, originally posted by ChuckP Â»That is sweet! Now if G.M. could just stuff a LS1 in a Vibe hmmmm.............. AED swapped a 5.7 tpi into a new grand am...im sure they can do that, a ls1 in a vibe...begins to drool

TheDude

i've done quite a few overheads rescently, all looked good...Just go to someone who can definetly do it, not a "I think it'll work"

TheDude

i've had mine unplugged since the week i had my car...no problems yet

TheDude

here is one of me from last summer...i've changed quite a bit, lost weight, hell of a lot shorter hair, and i dont hang out in basements anymore

TheDude

i hate girls bigger than a 4x8 ply...i seem to be a little claustrophobic around them

TheDude

i had a 99 w/ the 2.4 LD9 before i had the Vibe. I liked the styling, and the 4 banger had some kick to it...to bad the motor decided it didnt like its rods anymore, damn engine blew right next to my school

TheDude

yeah i heard that thats the most sensitive for a guy too...my back didnt hurt a bit...he had me lay on my stomach so i was there reading a new car audio magazine that i had...only problem is that my back keeps rejecting the ink in one spot, i've had 2 touch ups on it

TheDude

i love toying with civics while in 3rd. I can hear them downshifting to keep up, but once i hit lift in 3rd, that mo-fo is gone! I think 5th in lift is the best, primaraly due to the speed

TheDude
