It'll work fine.Canadian matrix's don't have the automatic lights,Vibes are the same all around.You should show up to a east end meet.

kevera

I forgot about that switch,there was one on mine I think.Where did you buy this,was it new or used.Regardless get ahold of unichip and make them sort this out.

kevera

Congrats man.I know you've been waiting a while for a good deal.If I got a deal like that,I'd take one.(shhhh)

kevera

Good luck with the coil-overs,but bummer about the spring rusting out.I'll probably see them in May.

kevera

That's probably the smartest thing to do.Then you have 2 options for the auto tune feature.If you have a boomslang,you can go off the analog outputs from that(splice into it),and buy an a/f cable that plugs into the eManage.Or you can go off the analog output of your wideband a/f gauge.Both steps ar...

kevera

Do you by chance have the unichip turned on,the switches that is.1 is for powering the UNICHIP and the other is for map "A" & "B".

kevera

I'm surprised as hell.

kevera

Nice!!!Outside dyno FTW!!!Did redliner9k help with the tuning.

kevera

Yep,Bluecrush is a great guy.I bought AKLGT's unichip and installed with zero problems.Now where did you buy it from,somethings wrong if 3 won't work.Is it for a base or GT.Stupid question,but did you disconnect the battery when you installed it.

kevera

If they are the ones for the cladding on the fenders,the white clips are what you're after.94848834-RetainerYou'll need 10 per panelPS.they are x-pensive at the dealer,they sell at trim places online for much cheaper.You can but a pack of 15 for the price the dealer wants for 2 clips.

kevera

I would have went the easy way and installed a bung,and use the anolog outputs with a af cable plugged into the yellow plug on your Blue.I have Ultimate and have it plugged into my optional port(yellow) to use my wideband gauge's output to auto-tune.Works great.

kevera

I have a PLX gauge.Now,just to clear things up,why did you hook this up like that.It's seems to complicate things.To me it would have been easier to install another bung in your x-haust and then use the anolog outputs from the gauge into your EMU.BTW,the controller should have the ground(you have th...

The only hard part of this project is the brackets.How to integrate them without looking like (removed).I've been toying with this project for a while now(with mesh),can't get past the bracket issue.But I'm not the greatest fabricator.

kevera

I'm somewhat here.T.O

Weak Gotta have more than that in her.Or is your foot broken.

I would wait til spring,then get the cladding and the kit painted black.Take it from my experience,the kit will come off the unpainted cladding.Tape is expensive and the time it takes to remove the old tape(have a look at how much tape is on the whole kit),it's a PITA.Don't say I didn't warn you.The...

kevera

It should fit,fenders are the same for both gens,and foglights will be fine.I know someone else working on this.I think it's a great idea,do it!!!

kevera

No offence man,but the wheels are going on your ride.Rims are a personal preference.Go with what you like,F everyone else.

kevera

There's one on the engine block also.

kevera

Put it in the compartment under the shifter.

kevera

Congrats Bro

Welcome.Can you get 03-04 headlights cheap???

You'll have to follow Whelan's C-clamp trick from now on.

kevera

As for the rattle,that's the dreaded magnaflow resonator rattle.Mine has developed that recently,it's more of an annoyance than anything.Hope the tranny problem isn't a costly one.From what I remember the powertrain is 5yrs/100k here in Canada.

kevera

Just a word of advice if installing this kit on unpainted cladding,if you have the money get the cladding painted because every few months the 2 sided tape will come off.Pulling it off and re-taping gets costly and is a PITA.

Quote, originally posted by breezd Â»EDIT: Parts sites say "Front door - Lock and hardware - Handle outside - W/o body colorW/o body color Back 2003 - 2008"So I'd assume this is correct...?Yep,that's the one you need for the black handle.

kevera

I keep a breaker bar for when those pesky belt problems arise.Keeping a toolbox is great for those odd times you need something.I fix everything myself.

kevera

I was pissed with you,just for the simply fact you bailed without saying anything.We already talked about this.We spent a few months working on the meet and then you Vanish.I know you went through some crazy things,but 1 minute out of your time,letting me or Joe know what was going on.We would have ...

kevera

I'm working on this over the winter.The ac panel "sticker" is what lights up red.So,this has to be removed to achieve the color change your after.I have a solution,hit me up with a PM and I'll let you know a few tricks I've been thinking of.

kevera

Make a template out of soft cardboard first.

kevera

Nice post Hope.I was wondering about how to mount a camera for my track days.I like cheap DIY's.

kevera

They don't as of yet.But I can suggest making them out of vinyl.I like your idea though.

kevera

Happy Birthday Buddy

kevera

True.But,haven't we all learned from past experiences that GM hasn't a clue when it comes to the Vibe.So why would they be able to answer the OP's simply questions.

kevera

Quote, originally posted by ou.grizzly Â»2. Why do you want to adjust the accelerator? If you want to, pop the hood and start wrenching. It's Drive by wire,so no physical adjustment can be done.Now,the previous version of the vibe/matrix had a reset procedure.You may want to talk to Toyota about tha...

Not really sure if they make "shift Kits" for japanese cars,at least not like the older american muscle tranny's.What they do make is an upgraded Valve body,which is reworked and comes with heavier springs.I have this on mine and it does make faster shifts,it wasn't what I expected.At leas...

kevera

Sounds like you have some interference,foam won't get rid of it,lol.I've never had a problem with mine,but it's coming out soon so....Get yourself a yota(or GM one) tensioner it'll last 6 weeks longer.

kevera

Did you install this yourself??Did it happen right after it was installed??Most times it's a reversed wire,since you have to splice these into your old o2 harness,sometimes the wires get installed in the wrong configuration.Other than that,stay away from bosch o2 sensors.

Sorry to hear about Wes.Glad your keeping the Vibe,must be fate.

That's why I take mine off every winter.Sucks though man,hope you can get it fixed.
