Time to say Goodbye to my Vibe

My vibe was my favorite car - strolling around florida with my green lights and HIDs or struggling through Alaska as the cold tried to kill it and then driving 4k miles to texas and then driving to WA years later and finally driving to Colorado - its last trip with me. With a family now - I have to ...

Re: NavyRican - 2009 Vibe GT in Alaska (Proven Ice Warrior)

Basically now the door wont open if the window is lowered at all. (Driver side door) 2 - I think i may have forgotten or just not have installed an inte...

Re: NavyRican - 2009 Vibe in Alaska (testing it in the cold)

so thats why that was in the instructions lol so i guess it wont do any harm to do it after the fact right? if i just disconnect the negative battery cable and reconnect it, it will still reset it.

Re: NavyRican - 2009 Vibe in Alaska (testing it in the cold)

After installing the intake, did you have to get a remap done? I have been told by several people i work with that it is necessary in order for the car to get the right air/fuel mix in.

Also coming next will probably be new exhaust system. I'm not a car guy, just a network engineer trying to make his vibe into a spaceship lol so if anyone has any suggestions, it would be appreciated. i saw online earlier while googling a magnaflow kit for the car any thoughts?

Hey thanks a lot for posting your mods and the parts numbers. I went ahead and ordered and installed the K & N cold air intake and purchased the AEM filter. I did run into a problem, most likely my fault, but the AEM filter rubber hose part seemed too large for the K & N pipe, did you use so...
