sounds to me like a internal tranny problem. clutches dont usually make loud noises when they go. as for the hood. my cable rusted and snapped right at the hood latch. its kinda hard to explain but you can put a screwdriver into the grill and hit the latch to the right to open hood. i havent bothere...

i bought a billet aluminium fuel rail with extra ports.most people cut the fuel line use hose clamps and a tee right before the fuel rail.www.newcelica.org has plenty more info and pics. http://www.newcelica.org/forum...27456his tee is the red fitting by the battery. your battery wont be there but t...

wasnt there a post about this already . you can do this with 20 bucks. buy a power door lock solenoid.(preferably heavy duty) . and a switch.and some wire. and do a search.

satur9

top 4 screws. i installed both of mine. its easier to leave it on. than to try and cover the holes. but if one has to go. the top would be less visible and easier to cover.

satur9

i used rattle can glue when i did mine. worked fine

satur9

check which fuse is the hatch release. if not installed. put a fuse in then check voltage at the connector. usually car manufacurers will install the wiring for accessories weather you have them or not. saves money not having to make diffrent harnesses. .if youre handy you can buy a universal power ...

for some reason i was under the impression you were putting on stock scion headers. i will now assume since you got a cel. that they were infact aftermarket. do they delete a cat or something.do a search for cel fix exhaust . you can try a spark plug defouler 18mm mod it. put it on. it might fix you...

satur9

im not sure they will fit. but if you are .then no, you shouldnt get a cel as long as the o2 sensor(s) is in place . and there are no exhaust leaks.

Quote, originally posted by beemerphile1 Â» Actually, that is three questions.1. should i keep the original Cosmo filter or 2. should i buy a new filter, if so, 3. which one do yall recommendthe "or" makes 1 and 2 one question. i 2nd the dryflow though.

satur9

not me? i even manualy typed it instead of my bookmark. cant even get the homepage. got a link?

satur9

i dont have a 09 but ordered the 2 spoiler package for my 03 and put it on myself. its not hard. measure twice drill once.i doubt its over an hour of labor.it took me 3 hours for 2 spoilers and i never did it before.and i checked my measurements about 4 to five times.

the factory cooler is in the radiator so less heat there might equate to cooler engine . also the ac condenser coil is on the radiator. but i doubt youll or your car could be able to feel that difference. my guess is tranny less hot. less heat being tranfered to cabin of car.

satur9

mabey try gatorback belt with slightly less belt tension. or fab up a bracket to hold the nose up

satur9

if he gets a whole hub with new bearings its pretty much undo reattach howerer you will have to undo the brakes. fair bit of work but not hard. besides proper torque specs anyone fairly capable should be able to do it.

satur9

i doubt the coilovers have been on long enough to notice tire wear. but i got an aligment done and its all good now.

satur9

what i dont understand is that is a 2003. even barely driven i didnt think stuff would be rusting and falling off breaking so soon. ive had 20 year old cars where the hood cable still works.its just one thing i woudnt have thought about. heat shield i could care less about. just seems unusual for a ...

satur9

totaly roadworthy. just a few little things that (removed) you off. but in reality things could be much worse.my motorcyle gets all my attention now. vibe gets lonely in the cold dark garage rusting away.

satur9

weights first thing checked.it was shakey before that.

satur9

wow blast from the past. i was doing a search didnt find anything about toe. i got megan recing coilovers on a few weeks back. and after all these years i got zero camber(pillowballs). anyway how do you adjust toe.theres a small steering wheel shake above 70 mph. and if i take it to aligment shop i ...

satur9

well i guess its partially my fault for letting it sit so much.. barely 3000 miles in the last year. but anyway i go to lube stop. and they are like you only put 1000 miles on your car in five months. i knew it was a while since oil last change but i thought i drove more than that. anyway first they...

satur9

megan racing coiloveres also come with pillowball mounts. its what i have.

satur9

flyers and or stickers. see a torrent put a flyer on it. put a sticker on your car like the genvibe.com stickers.and lastly INFO. most people stumble on forums looking for info bout their car. get a fixit manual on cd and put it on the site. only registered people can view it. ive seen this done a f...

satur9

you gf might not like them.

satur9

yeah . i have the premade poly inserts from es .just pop em in. they still have them on their site for 25 bucks under toyota matrix.

satur9

no problems out of mine and its been thru a few drag races.if your seriously considering buying the car i would get someone to check what is EXACTLY wrong with the tranny. broken gears or just worn synchros etc.

satur9

ill be doing it in my cold dark garage so pics will suck.there are some nice pics on matrixowners of the kit and the car

satur9

if you check http://www.newcelica.org. youll find that toyotas ecu's hate narrow band emulations from widebands. they almost never work without a cel i think it has to do with the reading rate.. but on other cars works fine. it cost like 25 bucks to get a bung welded in at your local muffler shop.ke...

satur9

if your in limp mode you should have a cel . can you tell us what it is.

satur9

even if i lived in your town. i wasnt going to drive on broken springs. i exagerrated a little i have a garage(not heated) so i wasnt frostbitten. just very annoyed. i work outside in the winter sometimes so i had warm enough work clothes. but it still wasnt fun.i done mabey half a dozen spring jobs...

satur9

mine works with base and custom tune.

after sitting at home for a week without pay cause of the weather. i started my car and pulled out of my drive way to go to the bank. i hear this awful clunking sound coming from the suspension. i pull my car back in pull out the jack(mind you its 24 degrees outside) and jack it up so see what i can...

satur9

sorry never found out.i just tapped the radio and reverse wire and moved some other stuff.

satur9

i may be sounding a bit paranoid. but they could have copied your info. with you getting the items back you may be less on guard. if it was me id still change everything.mabey insurance might cover rekeying?

satur9

dynotune system i posted the link

satur9

http://www.dynotunenitrous.com. great kit at great prices.50 shot is normaly safe some have been known to do 75.(1zz and 2zz celicas on http://www.newcelica.org).not to hard to setup but you have to buy an adaptor or cut fuel lines.its not like in the movies but a pretty good gain. you can walk 2zz'...

satur9

ive had nitrous for about 5 years.try searching nitrous instead of nos.i know at least one other vibe had it aswell. 1zz 5 speed with 50 shot dynotune kit btw.click the link in my sig for some pics on my cardomain page.

satur9

mabey some foam or plastic speaker baffles will help

satur9

id probably come.

satur9

. after vitrtualy not driving my car all summer (motorcycle)the car wouldnt start. so i had to jump it.(i have ground wires and voltage regulator too). anyway im driving along and i just look up and notice fuel pressure guage going crazy. and the car is runing fine. after checking with a mehanical g...

satur9

i far as i can tell there was nothing wrong with it other than sitting in the back of my car a very long time. im interested to see what pe says. i got it from monkeywrench mabey they know if theyve seen that happen before.did it get bump around mabey and entered into setting mode or mabey the displ...

satur9

lift up the rear floor hatch and take all the crap inside out the car.spare,jack,then the tray,etc.

satur9

i did mine with the spray on stuff from autoparts store. just remove pieces and prep and spray. click the link in my sig for pics

satur9

im with you on the telescopic high beams sucking. id get the hid low/ halogen high setup. plus that way if your ballast burns out at least youll still have highbeams in an emergency. plus the telescopic part breaks often mine did.

satur9

jp midpipe is 2.25 the cat is farther back to prevent burnup(some stock cats have from the extra heat. and 1 resonator instead of 2.

satur9

oh and im not saying that dan tobin said they wouldnt host us.just the fact that if you got a party for 15-30 people and and like 6 showed up. youd be kinda pissed and might not want to do it again.

satur9

demographic? ive been to most of those meets.(notice mine and all the REPEAT names.the are the same guys just like the us the type that go to meets.im not talking about new people per say. just the people that used to come dont anymore. while the original members there still go and new people go to....

satur9

heis refering to any power that turns off when you turn the car off. ie your lighter plugs and such. if you want to be able to use the gps with the car off. you could use the maplight power which is always on.you just have to remember to turn it off so you wont drain your battery.

satur9

are you going to the vibe meet july 25 in gatlinburg

ive tried the spring blocks. they fell out of my progress springs.? then i tried the ones that look like tiny spring compressors.they worked a little better. but then i just got hotckiss springs.a spacer(the kind that go on the perch)will work better with out screwing up your spring rate.) but if yo...
