The xB unichip will work with xB tunes. Tc tunes are more radical and will eat spark plugs. This is from what ive been told.

so im in the market for new shocks and struts. I havent seen any aftermarket options out there for the 09-10 GTs.... probably just gonna throw some stock KYBs back in.... is there a difference in the AWD struts vs the FWD ones. i found a site that has all 4 corners for $200 and free shipping. as i r...

Well I just briefly read through the Illinois emissions site and they are going to a OBD test only. Got rid of the old "sniffer". So looks like the sim would be the way to go... Which sensor did you install the sim on? The upper(closest to head) or the lower? What pipe did you use between ...

A unichip with scion xB tunes... NST crank and water pump pulleys.... Need to get some more info on a header install. Lookin into an ultra racing upper strut bar for the rear (from 08+ corolla)... Probably brake rotors and pads next summer. Along with some maintenance stuff along the way. Gotta drop...

I know there's a Megan Racing header for a scion tc that fits our 2.4L. Has anyone installed a header? I'm curious as to the issues we gotta deal with.... o2 sensors, cats, downpipe, fit issues, etc..... I want a header but I don't want to throw codes or fail emissions.... Is it possible???

So after going through nothing but hassle, I found a shop to fix the excessive negative camber I had in the rear after installing the s-techs. I had -3.4,-3.2 in the rear. Stock specs say -.3 to -1.8 A lot of shops I called said they wouldn't touch it cause it was lowered... Autotire said it wouldn'...

I read somewhere that it's a common problem with the magnaflow mufflers... Theyve sent out replacements as a warranty issue but I havent tried to bring that up with them. I dunno what kind of documentation they would require but I don't have any of the paperwork anymore.... I saw somewhere that some...

Thanks... The drop was a little more of a PITA than everyone leads on. The install wasn't bad. Its getting rid of some of the negative camber I got from the drop. I had a shop that said they'd install shims but once they had the car, said they wouldnt do it. I had a hard time finding a shop that wou...

That's what came on the magnaflow cat-back system. It's got the magnaflow emblem etched on the tip. Nice little detail... The system has disappointed me a little. When I first got it, it was throaty... Not raspy. I dunno if something has happened to the baffling or what but it has developed a raspy ...

Thats the one....

There's a thread on this forum, I believe it's in a members garage, that confirms the xB chip is an exact fit for the vibe... He also tried several different tunes for the xB and tc. But from what the thread says, he gave his vibe to his little brother so he's probably not on here anymore.

23 views and no one has an opinion??? How about the 03-08 vibe owners??? I saw some of them with the unichip....

I take it you've never thrown yourself out of a perfectly good airplane???

Ive seen one genviber that posted stuff about using the 08-10 scion xB unichip on the 09-10 vibe gt.... Has anyone else used this for their vibe??? I'm thinkin about gettin one but I'd like to find some feedback before I drop the $400 for one......

Ill try and get one. The lighting was bad when I took this pic. I tried to get one straight on but the shadow from the bumper caused everything underneath to be so dark you couldn't see anything. I'm about 4-5 hrs from chicago. I come up there every once in a while to jump at Skydive Chicago in Otta...

I'll try and get a pic and post it over the weekend. It's crappy and rainy today. Supposed to be nicer this weekend... I'm from the Illinois side of st. louis..... About 20min away. IMO the vibe doesn't really ride that bad on the springs. It's definitely not like the jeep I used to have. With the g...

Thanks. I'm real happy with the way it turned out...

I just got done putting a set of 03-08 s-techs on my 09 gt. not too bad. I also roasted a sway bar link so I've got a new set on the way. I also didn't remove a bracket holding a speed sensor wiring harness that plugs into the hub. I stretched it and broke it. Now all my abs, e-brake and traction co...

I got a set of s-techs for my 09 GT but I can't find any aftermarket shocks/struts for an 09.... I'll be doing the install this weekend...

I am also curious as to how much the shop charged. I'm putting tein s-techs on mine and someone else who installed the springs said he had a tiny bit of negative camber and had to shim the rear....

Thanks for the info. I have posted a couple threads in matrixowners.com regarding suspension... I'm still trying to grasp all the interchangeable parts. Apparently they (matrix guys) can use parts from corollas, scion tc's (motor), and probably a few extras. I'm a liitle confused as to why they woul...

Anyone know of any replacement strut tower bars for the factory one on an 09 GT? Also anyone know of any other upgraded sway bars ( front or rear )? And what about a bar for the upper rear shock mounts???

I'll be sure to post pics once it's together. I just got the itch so I got new super white high and low beams along with matching fogs and a stubby antenna to replace the stock one. Now I just need to get a few more answers about the camber bolts. I may just get a set to have on hand at alignment ti...

well... since im a bit impulsive, i ordered a set of the s-techs. got them from autoplicity for $133 shipped. and apparently everyone just runs their stock shocks/struts cause i cant find anyone that can confirm nor deny aftermarket ones for the 09-10 models. now im wondering if i need the camber bo...

i still have so many questions..... what all do i need? -4 cam bolts -springs -shocks/struts do i need to worry about replacing the mounts? and if so, what are those? are there rubber donuts that go in them? are they sold for the front AND the rear? i havent ever taken my suspension apart so i reall...

Thanks for the link. I think you're right.... Looks cool but probably just a tad too low for me. May consider the h-techs instead now that I actually see an 09 lowered. That is my ride though. Tinted windows and everything.

Hello there. I've had my 09gt for almost a year now. I put a magnaflow cat-back on and a k&n typhoon intake. Now it's time to lower it. I can't find any info on lowering the 2nd gen vibes. There's plenty on the 03-08 models. I've seen one person say he used springs from an 03-08 with no issues. ...
