BLAH!

I can tell you how to lower the rear, hitch a trailer on to it. :D My interests go the other way, I would like to be able to keep the original height while towing. I honestly don't know why anyone would want to lower a car that has 6" clearance when new. To each their own though. Good luck. Ac...

there was a garage thread where someone made their own CAI with some nice parts. umm... can't remember who it was though.

Mariachi

K&N tech people are telling me that there is no CAI for the 2005 1.8 Base model. Is the Short Ram Intake worth the trouble to install? HP improvements? they are correct. Their is not a CAI for the 2005 base model 1.8L 1zz-fe. I had to purchase a 2002 to 2004 and just buy an extra hose. easy stu...

Mariachi

true but as you can see, I did have it on at just the right diameter, hence why I posted the picture. Although my car does run on drive by wire, and not the normal throttle cable, this could maybe be a problem with just the 05's and up. still good info to list up though.

Mariachi

very very nice!!!

what harness did you go with?

Mariachi

also, my car is an 06. had to get the 02 to 04 injen cai and buy an extra hose for the breather valve recirculation from the valve cover to the intake. I have an oil catch can in between the 2 now though.

I have a problem with the eBay short rams. I purchased an eBay short ram and it screwed up my MAF sensor. Due to the positioning of the MAF, it through off the air flow and also caused my car to go into limp mode after a while. The way I found out that the MAF doesn't like to be down there is that m...

ok.

I have been searching around and seems that the popular ones are Megan Racing and Tein Basics

I am also looking in to BC Racing coilovers. I should be able to get a good prices on them. most likely under $900 shipped.

Mariachi

coilovers

anyone have a problem with BC coilovers or Tein Basics?

gl on the project

Mariachi

I can relate the same way. Going from a mid 14 second N/A mitsubishi eclipse and a low 13 seconds eclipse GSX kinda hurts but my vibe has stuck with me longer than both of those eclipse's have without many major problems. My vibe still runs and has been one of the most dependable cars I have had in ...

nice abyss!

Mariachi

oh nice vibe! welcome!

Cargo cover pricing please!

would you, by chance, happen to have the license plate light cover for the rear hatch? http://i1182.photobucket.com/albums/x443/Michael_Brack/Bad%20Vibe%20Public%20Files/2004%20Vibe%20Auto%20Salvage/licenseplatelighthatchcover.jpg this one? yup. just the one. I also replied with my zip code. I am v...

Mariachi

it looks alot good & cleaner look, all the decals you had on it looked just a bit too much but its your car, you need some window tint too. yeah. i have to admit that I like this look much better. I am going to be getting a quote on re-painting my entire car. I have some dings and lots of rock ...

looks much better painted white! nice job!

Krylon fusion is great paint for plastic. Good choice and great job researching. I know this first hand as on my old eclipse, I would only use Krylon Fusion to paint my plastic interior parts.

Mariachi

i still think you should try springs.

Mariachi

good luck with your find man.

Mariachi

nice wheel setup! Now I kinda have a look of what RPF1's would look like on the vibe, since they are kinda similar in spoke pattern. that's a large spacer in the rear. How long are the wheel studs you had to replace with?

Mariachi

nice move and congrats! Was that an eBay HKS SSQV BOV on the PT or the real thing? can't really tell.

nvm. checked on the comp and its a real HKS bov. i love that sound!

Mariachi

I know that a lot of people liked the stripe but it came time to remove the stripe. It was getting ugly now. fading a bit. http://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-snc7/s720x720/576161_4155264635129_1139325166_n.jpg Next on the list are a set of wheels. confused as to which ones to get but will figure ...

Just got back this week from it's first test ride. A 3 hour drive for some camping and backpacking with the GF and her fam. Car handled it well. Updated my location. I'll snap some pics soon! and I'll check out the local craigslist postings for new wheels, sadly I don't think I'm close to any of yo...

It did a great job on mine though, It's a 2005 with 93 000 miles on it ! the problem with the restoration kits are that when you use it, you are peeling off the initial protectant that the lens comes with to protect the burn marks on the lens. Although, not saying it doesn't work great as I use it ...

Mariachi

last weekend, i put about 300 some miles on my gas tank. I hate hitting 1/4 tank

Mariachi

p0420 may end up being a sensor like kitt states. have you ran any other diagnostics on the car?

Mariachi

drool. i love neptune vibes.

nice!

Mariachi

nice vibe and trix! just need to clean up those engine bays!

welcome to the forums!

it is. I was losing my motivation towards modifying my vibe but after meeting all these people, it brought it right back up. Yeah. He is looking into some new headlights. :) Great to hear meeting up with some fellow Vibe owners got you passionate about your own Vibe again :)! Glad to hear he's look...

Mariachi

lol @ poke-a-dot vibe. haha Here is a vibe owner. Elder but still had respect and showed respect for a modified vibe, mine. :) http://sphotos-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash4/s720x720/391457_4126149707274_1063967018_n.jpg I cry when I see broken door handles all the time... http://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/...
