I've had several years of trouble free driving but the other day my CEL came on, the 1st time since it came and went when I installed the CAI about 3 yrs ago. I just got back from Autozone where they read the code. It came back with P2440 which is defined as:Secondary Air Injection System Switching ...

I'm 38

Roadpig

Just broke 35K on my Vibe.

Roadpig

Steelers suck (I can't stand the coach, he looks like a real @ss)! Go Seahawks!

Roadpig

23K and going strong.

I have an Injen CAI on my GT and the CEL was on for the first hour or two of driving (over a period of about two days) and it hasn't been on since.

Roadpig

I don't think I have seen this question anywhere in this forum. Does anyone know the type of screw, size & thread, of those tiny little screws that hold the MAF in place? I 'm asking because I recently installed a CAI and the super well engineered Injen CAI had paint in the screw holes where the...

Roadpig

Well I finally did it, I installed the Injen CAI on my 04 Vibe GT. First of all, I want to thank the people on this site who took the time to do a write-up (with pics) on the CAI install. The job looked very intimidating at first, with all these vacuum hoses and sensors etc. Not only that, the Injen...

Roadpig

If I remember correctly, it's after the sensor.

Hey Raivis! I'm in VA, Williamsburg to be exact...never seen your GT around but I have seen that envy colored Vibe you mentioned driving around here.Good to have another GT owner in the area...there are very few of us.

Roadpig

Blue Crush, this mod you installed, the Voltage system sounds pretty neat & I'd like to get it for my car, but, honestly does it really give you that extra power that you think it does or would you chalk this one up to the placebo effect? Of course you can't trust the manufacturer, they always p...

Roadpig

Thanks for everyones input. I think I will go ahead and get one.

Roadpig

Found this interesting discussion on matrixvibe.net. In the thread, they specifically BlueMatrixXR makes some good points why a CAI is a waste of money and that a stock intake with a high flow air filter is all you need. I thought I'd throw this out to the experts here and see what you all think.Thi...

I have about 6K on my current oil, guess I'd better change it.

Roadpig

OK, I'm ready to buy a CAI for my Vibe. I see that Ptuning has them for $255 & $263 (polished vs black). Now, is there a cheaper place to buy one? My internet searches aren't turning up anything useful.My last purchase from ptuning was the Magnaflow exhaust and that was rather expensive....Not o...

I get about a 29-31mpg average in my GT. This is about 75% highway driving, hitting lift less than once per day.

Roadpig

I recycle it. I take it to the county recyclig center. They have a tank for spent engine coolant.

Roadpig

front bar made the most impressive changeWell that's good to know. This will be my next mod for the Vibe, both front & rear. Now where is a good place to buy the front & rear sway bars. I'm asking because ptuning really isn't that cheap since I feel like the Magnaflow was a rip there, plus I...

Roadpig

Saw this on ebay and busted out laughing...so I posted it in the humor section A true ricer is not complete without this mod! http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...42610

Roadpig

....brake pads are pretty easy to replace,I agree, brake pads are much easier & cheaper to replace vs a new clutch. Plus, GT's are known to have premature wear on the clutch, so anything I can do to minimize wear.

Roadpig

Magnaflow is the way to go Base or GT.

Roadpig

Man that's tough! I suck at it....but it's fun. Definitely a good time waster

Roadpig

I average around 29-31mpg with my GT, which consists of about 60% highway (although I hit a traffic jam at least once per day) and 40% city. It has been very consistent through the summer, with my mileage dropping a little in the winter. I have the Magnaflow catback and have not noticed an increase ...

Roadpig

I don't have them, they came as an option...

Roadpig

I'll back trdvibe on that....CAI, exhaust & Unichip is all we have since a turbo or S/C is highly unlikely for the GT. Next for me is CAI, and then faaaaaaaaaaar down the road, when I have same cash, the Unichip.

Roadpig

I agree....I have the Magnaflow TRUE Cat-Back and when I cruise on the highway or regular roads for that matter, I don't even hear it, only during quick acceleration is it noticable. I'd say a little louder than the stock exhaust all around. Of course once you hit lift it screams I don't have a CAI ...

Roadpig

Good! I hope they do the same here in VA.

Roadpig

Hey welcome! I just did a weekend trip to Chicago last weekend (our 3rd annual) What a kick *ss town!Welcome to genvibe, finally another GT in the area...maybe we'll run into each other one day.

Roadpig

Excellent! Swirv, I'm glad you got CAI to work on your o4 GT. I have renewed hope in the whole thing & will save up cash to buy it Just as an interesting side note, I emailed Injen the other day to ask if they have a CAI for the 04 GT, and their response was that they did not but hope to have on...

Roadpig

All this CEL stuff is making my head spin! That CAI was going to be my next mod, but now I'm not so sure...Swirv, that CAI, where did you get it from? Ptuning?Good luck with the CEL, if you solve the problem - I'll buy the CAI. It's all up to you man

Roadpig

wine? Try some bourbon

Roadpig

I hate the humidiry....it get brutal here in VA.

Roadpig

Manual, the only way to go, especially with these small engines.

Roadpig

injen has one available for the 04 GTThey do? I know there is one for the Matrix XRS, it's on ptuning, but I haven't found one for the 04 GT.

Roadpig

I'd love to hook up..but I need a little more notice. Weekends are usually pretty busy.

Roadpig

Bad *ss!

Roadpig

Hey SWiRv, I noticed you have an 04 GT....are you putting a CAI on your Vibe as well? Which brand? Does this mean that a CAI is available for the 04 GT?

Roadpig

Yep, sounds about right

Roadpig

I havent even touched the spare and the jack. Just seen it.LOL...me too!

Roadpig

I finally did it, I installed the Magnaflow exhaust last Saturday. My brother came down help and we installed in about 1.5hrs. The hardest part is definitely the cut. I used a Sawzall (with a fresh blade), with me holding the exhaust & my brother cutting it.Removing the old exhaust literally tak...

Roadpig

I bought my Magnaflow exhaust from ptuning & it was a rip! Having said that, I'll probably still by the CAI from them....if I can't find it cheaper elsewhere.And yes, delivery is overnight in VA

Roadpig

I also thought that the runner up gets $100k, so does that mean between the both of them they got 1.1mil?Actually Rob got 250K, so together they have 1.25 million. Not bad!

Roadpig

Good God that sig causes some lag! Please get rid of it!Sorry I cannot assist on the question at hand, but the sig has bogged everything down lol._______I had no problems...must be the Cable the Modem

Roadpig

That is cool. I want one!

Roadpig

the 26th floorCool, what a great view that must be. Ahh to sit on the balcony and drink beer.......

Roadpig

The last Oldsmobile is scheduled to roll off a Lansing assembly line this weekIt'll be for the better...I hope.

Roadpig

Check this out. I bought a Magnaflow exhaust a few weeks ago & will install it as soon as my brother is back in town.Anyway, check the link...it is an excellent "how to" http://www.matrixowners.com/mo...18546
