looks great Brian I made the the mistake of having one of my ground points at the exhaust manifold, which was very stupid. After 3 or 4 months, the wire was partially melted onto the heat shield, and the end of it was all deformed. lol, should've just ran it to the tranny like u did.

tcam

So, if I understand right, this is what I should do: First install the cams, then take it to a shop and have both units installed, but set it so that the A/F mixture is only controlled by the e-manage. then tune from there on.and the reason I'd like the shops to do these installs is because most of ...

wow, and he did that with stock exhaust?!? verrrryyyy impressive MWR is incredible

Quote, originally posted by BlueCrush Â»You could do the e-manage+camcon combo. E-manage: a/f, ignition timing, injector timingCamcon: Intake cam timingEssentially these two together is what the PFC would do, with the exception of hte PFC being able raise your redline rpm.I dunno if I like the idea ...

Quote, originally posted by BlueCrush Â»There is a reason why no Vibe's or Matrix's are using the PFC.It is not available for our cars. There is no harness available for us.The PFC is similar to the Hydra in that it completely replaces the stock ECU.that is what I had thought. I just ran a search on...

tcam

Does the PFC work on the Vibe? I've heard of a ton of Celicas using it, but no trix's or vibes.I'm pretty sure the Unichip can't raise the limiter

Quote, originally posted by BlueCrush Â» The fence was probably not secured properly and when he hit it, it probably just slid up and over his car then came back down again making it look like he went thru it. that seems like the best explanation to me, but wouldn't the fence be shaking a bunch if i...

tcam

arghhh now I can't make up my mind as to if I really wanna go with nitrous or not. lol. I'm really liking the idea of staying N/A and getting the Piper Stage 2 Cams with forged springs & valves. but if I get the aftermarket cams, do I need to buy the Hydra EMS? Or could I stick with just a piggy...

Click here to see Videothis is pretty creepy. lol

Quote, originally posted by BlueCrush Â»Yay! Nitrous!!! Like Lancer said, a 50-55 shot of wet nitrous is what you want. Don't go any more than that. You must also get a system that has a rpm window switch, tps switch and an arming switch so that all three conditions must be met before it will spray....

Quote, originally posted by Lancer Â»No, not saying that I don't approve. Just saying that if something DID happen, that your parents would likely be the ones to pay the price. Droped insurance or higher rates for all thier vehicles. If it was all yours I'd say do what ever you want. Or that your pa...

Quote, originally posted by Lancer Â»Easy... You don't tell them! And have the person setting it up make it look like it's part of the original engine.Or, find a comprimise and a way that THEY can be sure that you only use it at the track. Special key to lock everything or something.If you break it ...

tcam

Quote, originally posted by Lancer Â»I agree. A fifty shot (WET!) should be pretty safe. Just have a professional set it up for you. There's been a rash of 1zz engine intake manifolds exploding from improper set up. And, if you have a pro do it and something goes wrong you can try to have them pay f...

tcam

what about the high temps of the nitrous? should I be running cooler plugs?

tcam

If you were to go with a 50shot nitrous, what engine internals would you upgrade? or would you be comfortable staying with your stock internals?I'm really, really considering a NX kit right now, but I think I should at least buy forged pistons & sleeves, and also valves & springs to ensure e...

tcam

why is there not an "I like both equally" option? I would be more than satisfied with either car. and the reason that I ended up with the vibe over the trix is simply because my Dad picked it. lol. and I would've been just as happy having recieved a trix.......but I do like the design of t...

Quote, originally posted by breezd Â»What about this one? Ebay Link I'd say that one will fit. It's very rare to find a product for the Matrix that won't fit a Vibe.I like it. Looks nice and aerodynamic lol

wow that's impressive. what other mods do u have? I thought the 4.3 clutch is like...crazy stiff. lol

lol, every time I try to use one of my chasers, I end up using all of them. It's impossible

tcam

oh go performance first, without a doubt. Bragging rights are more important than looks ps I don't think his Vibe is that much of a sleeper. It's fast and all, but he has aftermarket rims, painted calipers, spoiler, dark tint, CF hood, and a windshield banner. It definately looks like it has been tu...

tcam

I seriously doubt it. My friend has those installed on his car for getting attention at shows. But they're truly bright as @!#$. Even brighter than the high beams. You can see 'em from a mile away, and it's almost impossible to look directly at them at night. I'm sure cops would be upset if you turn...

tcam

the worst is when ur in the middle of a project on ur car, and u need to reference an old thread or get some help on something. lol. It's such a frustrating feeling.

tcam

oooo, geez. I'm sry dude. Did u go through a deep puddle?

tcam

haha, that situation sucks dude. Mine is very similar to that. I'm a junior in HS and absolutely obsess over my VibeGT. I spend all of my money modding it and keeping it in absolute perfect condition. I'm consistently performaing maintance on it. Unfortunately like u, my parents bought me the car an...

tcam

That looks nice V. But is the sticker kind of hidden when it is not reflecting, or does it still stand out? being that it's on a silver background.

tcam

I decided to go with the black chrome which will go on my back window that has dark tint. cuz I don't really like the look of stickers, so this is a more subtle way of promoting the site.

tcam

yeah I thought they were too. But when I checked my order status it said it may take up to 15 days to arrive cuz the products were shipped outta Canada I'm so dang anxious too. lol

tcam

Quote, originally posted by RedFire2K Â»i got stickers off them a week ago and they sent it with in 3 days..amazing company to deal withthat's cuz their products are shipped outta Canada.

just checked it out. but it wouldn't let me download the online catalog. the site is kinda confusing. u recommend 'em though?

Quote, originally posted by 13Vibe03 Â»Wrong.

tcam

lol, yeah probably. I'm sure he would find it very comfortable though

wow, nice job looks pretty cozy too. kinda makes me wanna try to curl up in there and take a lil' nap. haha jk jk

'03 VibeGT 55,000 miles and still kickin. lol. No major problems or replacements. Though I think the clutch may be starting to wear.

tcam

lol, it seems like it'd be kinda dangerous to have the rpm set so low. what if u need to accelerate quickly for some reason? but yeah, I'm pretty sure you'd need to spend some big$$ on a standalone ECU or something to adjust the rev limiter or governor. not worth it

tcam

one more try. pleaaasse some knowledge on aftermarket clutches. I don't know what to decide on. lol

tcam

hmmm, no input at all??

Does anyone know anything about the Fidanza clutch? It seems like a quality product to me. I'm probably going with the Stage3.2 and lightweight flywheel. What do u guys think?http://www.fidanza.com/clutches.aspx

tcam

yeah, removing the cat altogether on ur own is what Petrucci should do. cuz u can't really install a high-flow cat on ur own, and most shops are pretty strict about the EPA policies.

tcam

Phunkyvibe, "69-8601TR" I'm pretty sure that's the part # for the Short Ram.The K&N website say it will add 12.2hp@7680rpm. They dynoe'd it on a Matrix XRS.http://www.knfilters.com/searc...601TR
