drayday55

im relly not tryin to be a smart a$$ but if you had the s/c you wolda passed that piece of crap idiot no problem. b4 my vibe had a s/c it sucked in situatons

drayday55

4 to 8 grand !! even if it took 2 guys 2 weeks to fit everything they would be making money. i bet in the hands of a skilled "bodyman" it can be done in 8 hours tops!!!! @ 50 an hr =400 ill talk to some people jason. shulda called me

drayday55

dont listen to gm they dont want you to have any fun!! the s/c needs the cai!!! the only bad thging that can happen is the first cat melting down from high combustion temps. just get a water inj. kit along with it.

drayday55

no its a m45

drayday55

the s/c lives on in socal!! on matrixr

drayday55

yup, water injection is the shiznit!! i got it on my s/c vibe

drayday55

its a dynotunesales kit. uh, i still want it but the wife thinks the motor will die, and i never told her i orderd it untill she opend the package, it might be sold so if anyone wants it hurry,

drayday55

i bought for 240 sell for 220 compleate wet kit hp from 35 to 75, without bottle.

drayday55

when you removed or replaced the batery terminals carefull not to touch the wrench to the cai while tightening the + terminal cuz you can fry the sensor!!

drayday55

drayday55

buy a toyota s/c they are going for cheep, i installed one on a matrix and a gm on mine of course and they are identical!! unless your worried about warenty , but what i would do is after installing the toyota kit is to get all the gm c.a.r.b stickers and what not and use them to trick gm techs into...

drayday55

i worked at a gm parts department and price is in controll of the jockey. whoever you got was an ashole!! they get paid by commision at some dealers and by % at others. talk to my guy ill get his number 4 u call me at 619 857 9986 and ill try and get it for my cost which is 100 over cost. so abot 28...

drayday55

drayday55

i am using "liquid intercooling" on my trd s/c watermeth injection. it works grreat. its from snowperformance.net

drayday55

first off ballrub i love your car looks killer!!! second, uh?? nevermind, i dont even know why this thread got started!!!

drayday55

well, i took it in to pontiac today, i hate service writers at dealerships. they always act like your trying to rip them off or that you dont know anything!!! they told me the pealing was from chemicals and it is not covered, also the right light is kinda foggy in the corner and he said that they wo...

drayday55

the pully came fromAUTO SPECIALTIES PERFORMANCE13408 redfishstafford tx(281) 261 8845my vibe is fwd

drayday55

oops, thanx.. after a few days the computer adjusted to the new boost it seems like i picked up some more power.

drayday55

first 1 psi is not significant enough to create a lean condition, trd put enough fule in to the programming of the s/c computer that i bet i could add 2 more psi before id have to worry about running lean, besides i have a air fule ratio guage, and yes it is not a wideband but under full throttle op...

drayday55

i do have water/meth injection. the pully only produces 1 psi over stock, in my case its 10 psi, larry put his on and is getting 8 psi but he smokes me regardless, he has less backpressure from headder/midpipe in turn less boost pressure.

drayday55

i finaly got it and installed it, great mod , no extreeme power but definately noticeable.

drayday55

remember, he never asked 4 money we just wanted to do something nice

drayday55

the sandblasted look is the layer of uv coating

drayday55

it is pealing, the layer is super thin, kinda like a clear coat. i use car wash liquid to wash nothing fancy, i did notice similar looking problem here;http://forums.genvibe.com/zero...1.jpg that link doesnot work, but it is from nsimkins, his reply to"my vibe has to many problems"

drayday55

i think sooner or later all are gonna start pealing. trixes have similar problem

drayday55

check out my new poast on issues, my ligts are pealing!!!

drayday55

i was waxing my car and i noticed that the U.V. coating that keeps the headlights from yellowing was pealing, for a few months i noticed what looked like spiderweb looking crakling on the surface, it turns out that was the start of the pealing process. anyone else with the same? im gonna take it to ...

drayday55

pep boys has the turn signals, i think they are apc brand or something like that.

drayday55

uh??? i think i know. i used a color bulb for my runninglights/turnsignals i have blue fog light overlays taht look blue in daylight and at night when on they look like HID

drayday55

bluebatmobile.com

drayday55

blue will probably be working on that some time

drayday55

bluebatmobile.com is where i got it, it is a new item so it might not be on the site yet

drayday55

im shure, over here everybody and their granny has colored signals, if you get a moving violation then a cop will write you up for the signals also

drayday55

yup, i used to live in germany and the winters there were awsome, so i can kinda relate to the overlays holding up, i figure, if oem stickers and molding can ahdle weathering, this vinyl can

drayday55

i did my own on my vibe and also did one on a matrix here is some picks readonhttp://matrixowners.com/module...7ed52oh yah, its so easey if you know basic automotive repair, but than again i have been wrenching on cars scince i was 14

drayday55

if the overlays can handle 106 degree cali sun where my window molding melts!! it can handle snow!

drayday55

i have had my signals on for 2 years and havent been puled over yet, luky me!

drayday55

us guys and few gals at matrixowners are gonna pitch in 10 or 20 $ to help jason out with this unforseen catastrophy! maybe some of you that know of him could lend a hand?here are some links:http://matrixowners.com/module...968abh ... le...d52cb

drayday55

tail lights by law need not be amber that is a missconception, look at veets or some trucks or just look arround!

drayday55

they are racing hart c2 18'' natural machined aluminum

drayday55

yup, ime goimg for the jdm look of the voltz, you have to use soapy water to position the overlay and a hair dryer to mold it ,

drayday55

thanx trd, yup, it would mask the damage pretty well, i would reenforce it from the back and bondo and smooth out or whatever. then just mask off and paint!

drayday55

i love it way to go!!!

drayday55

i cannot express what a difference the eyelids make. totaly changes the look, i am verry pleased . here are some night shots of both the eyelids and my jdm voltz reverse lights, im gonna run a switch to the red one to use as a fog light.check out bluebatmobile.com in a few days for the new additions...

drayday55

you use a few drops of dish soap in water in a squirt bottle, clean the car first! then you position the overlay and squege out the bubles and let dry, dont use a credit card ittl scratch!

drayday55

thanx for the back op guys, psyco you r right on and sayten thanks bro, now lets get back on the subject... ill set something up with andy"bluebat" so the eyelids should be done by sunday
