Thanks!,Yea the enclosure is sweet. Its actually a carry over from the Expedition I had before the Vibe, couldn't let it go. I figured if it was enough to give a fully loaded Eddie Bauer roof flex it should do nicely in the Vibe... lolI need to update the pic tho as now its facing the back and all the wires are cleaned up. It gets pretty f***ing loud especially when it drops low. I was actually fairly impressed when I moved it over to the Vibe.

Only towards the top and middle. Although my rearveiw is unusable and my phone holster (uppermost left corner) shakes uncontrollably. My beltronics display also gets fuzzy and some times it does a little dance on the dashboard lol. But my favorite is the added benefit of free massage chairs

I love the look...That being said, I do have some thoughts. What is the purpose of a giant sub box in a hatchback. You can't haul anything, unless you take it out. Do you have a second vehicle?

You can't haul anything, unless you take it out. Do you have a second vehicle? The sub box takes all of 5 minutes to pull out, and I didn't really buy it for the space. I mainly bought it cause I got a pretty sweet deal on it and I was able to turn it in a pretty fun car to drive. Plus my folks only live 30 minutes away so if I really need to haul something I just borrow one of my dads trucks.

Well Guys I took the plunge and ordered the NST Pulleys for the Scion Tc. 20% Underdrive Crank, Lite WP, and 20% Overdrive ALT. I am anxious to see how they perform once they come in and I can get them on the car. I'm starting to run out of performance mods this might possibly be the last one. lol

Quote, originally posted by joshuaeb09 »To do the map lights I actually removed the whole assembly and wired in my own LED's. However the bulb size is 194 and you can remove the clear lens with a small flat head screw driver. Just gently pry around the sides until it starts loosening up then you should be able to pull it off. The bulbs are a pain to get out but DO NOT twist them it will cause the whole socket to come off and it will get stuck up behind the housing. To remove the bulbs i would recommend wiggling them side to side until they give. So I just found out the hard way about *not* twisting the dome lights to remove them. How did you remove the whole assembly? I seem to have a loose dome light floating about up there now and we can't figure out how to get the assembly to come out to retrieve the light.

It basically pulls straight down but the clips can brake. I got a broken one and it rattles a little now. Grab it from the front(side facing the windshield) and try to finesse it down. The clips are on the 4 corners and a PIA to get out.

UniChip Update: Retuned for 2009 Scion TC I/E @ 91. I slammed the gas with T/C and A/C off and I didn't move for a second . Not sure what was louder bouncing off 6.5 K or the tires Also my Pulleys came in save the Alt pulley . Anxiously waiting so I can install em.

The glow are just some cheap imported 30 led strips off of ebay. The ones in the map lights are 2 3x2 Arrays in each that I put together. The other dome lights are some cheap 4x2 5050 SMD boards off of ebay as well.

I do not recommend grabbing the underdrive pulley or the alternator pulley. The underdrive pulley, while it fits, has some serious belt tracking issues with out 2AZFE belt configuration(I tired a large number of different sized belts). The OEM alternator pulley is a decoupler pulley so installing the overdrive alt pulley(solid piece) gave me some belt squealing at shift points . If you do want to go with a pulley I would recommend the CR-LITE pulley from NST it is the same size as the OEM crank pulley so you shouldn't have any belt issues. I have yet todo so as with my recent promotion may be passing the Vibe off my my bro and getting a new toy.I am also fairly happy with the I/H/E tuned @ 93 Octane. It is definitively more powerful than stock, as my tires can tell you

Well its official the Vibe is passing on to my bro. Found a sweet deal on an 05 Expedition Limited fully loaded. While I will miss the Vibe nothing rides quite like a 2.5ton luxury SUV .

Hello, did the Unichip address any CEL's you had from the header install? What p/n was the header or what year TC header did you use that worked?

Unfortunately, this member passed the Vibe on to his brother a few years ago and hasn't posted again since, so I wouldn't expect a response :|.
