Premature VVTL-i 4000 rpm lift?

Hey guys, long story short... I used to own a 2001 Celica GTS with the same 2zz engine and now I'm a recent owner of a 2005 Vibe GT with the same motor. When I accelerate, at exactly 4000 RPM I'm noticing a deeper pitch in my intake and a bit quicker acceleration. Then it's the usual lift at 6700 rp...

Re: 2005 Pontiac Vibe GT - Black

Very nice ! The 225s look really good on it without looking as if it has too much tire.

When I picked up the tires, I went to a used tire place in my area that's been in bu...

Re: What do you guys think?

Very nice Photoshop! Best part is that it is very possible to do this to your car. I've retrofitted my headlights, and I've seen ways online of making clear reflectors. Surprisingly, the hardest part of this job would be the side trim removal, as you'd need to fill the holes and get them painted. T...

What do you guys think?

Just bought this 2005 Vibe GT and decided to give photoshop a whirl after not touching the program for over 3 years. It's not perfect but this is the direction I want this car to go. Comments and opinions are well appreciated. Thanks! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v416/BoricuaTEK02/IMG_0515.jpg ...
