I would super recommend the Short Ram Intake for the Vibe from Cosmo Racing, I've had mine in for close to two years now and have no issues with it. Saves me a little bit of gas, sounds good when you want to hear it and isn't obnoxiously loud when you don't.

mjowen

Still have these? Need them shipped to Nova Scotia though.

mjowen

If you still have them in a couple of weeks I'll likely pick them up, just don't have the cash on hand at the moment.

Looking to swap my interior lights out for LED's but while I'm at it I think I may order a few other for footwell lights and possibly the cup holder LED as well. Just wondering if anyone can point me to a thread on how someone rigged up the footwell lighting I searched and can't find anything. Wirin...

A 3rd gen would be great, but where my budget is kind of tight with school I'm going to stick to the older two.

mjowen

I've been looking at picking up either a first or second generation MR2 or a similar small t-top/convertible 4cyl for next summer just wondering if anyone has had experience owning one of these cars or similar and can share their input to help me decide if it's worth the purchase. Thanks!

mjowen

Yeah, I looked into it and it's main purpose would be the look of it, which I agree it would look nice.
Being as I'm on a tight budget for school I think I might set my priorities for the winter as:

1: Strut bar, not sure if TRD or DC Sports
2: Springs
3: Rear Sway bar

mjowen

I say go with anything metallic, maybe silver? Blue would also look very nice since your intake is blue. I think that's the winner. VHT makes some engine paints in a variety of colors, a lot of them metallic. A strut tower bar would also look right at home in that bay. I'll take another look at the...

Put the larger side on the cap first then you'll need to "snap" the smaller side down into the grove. Does the make sense? I think so. In fact, I'm afraid I've already done it before, and it just keeps coming off. But I'll have another look at it (once this darned rain lets up!) Has it be...

Agreed, just not sure what to go with as of right now.

Been slacking on posting the pictures from my new deck. Got it in this passed Thursday with no issues and it works great, I love how I can see the full time on my clock again and the added usb port/aux port its a bonus! sounds and works great. Apologies for the cell phone pictures. http://i1273.phot...

mjowen

Got this in the mail today, going to install it in the next couple of days, first ever deck install for myself so I'm looking forward to it.

mjowen

Halifax can work for me too, just depends when it is.

mjowen

Im down for anywheres not too far also, Im not sure where would be best, Truros kind of in the middle of the province but way closer to me than anyone else.

mjowen

I see quite a few around town here too, weird you didn't see any on the highway, be even more strange if it was in the city where you didn't see any.

mjowen

Friday Bump.

mjowen

What type of wheels/tires are on it?

mjowen

I found a set of these laying around my house, opened but never installed comes with all the rubber grips and instructions although really straight forward. Going away for a couple of days so I'll post real pictures when I get back $20 + Shipping http://www.velocityfactor.net/ProdImages/SparcoPedalR...

Unfortunately I can't afford this at the moment so just putting it here in case anyone else is interested. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Toyota-Matrix-TRD-Exhaust-Muffler-Stainless-Performance-Axle-Back-Fast-Race-JDM-/121144444236?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&fits=Make%3AToyota%7CModel%3AMatr...

Thanks for the reply, the ones I was looking at were Hellas so in that department I'd be fine, good to know about the rust proofing. Most roads here are salted too, our Atlantic winters aren't easy on cars. If I need help with anything it wouldn't be until I get them, I'm not too familiar with wirin...

mjowen

How did the horns install/sound? I've been looking into a similar setup.

mjowen

I'm looking for a set of Tein S-Techs or a reputable Canadian retailer.

I may consider H-Techs.

mjowen

There's a sony touchscreen on sale at futureshop this week for 200 and some, reviews are kinda iffy though

mjowen

great to see fellow bluenosers! And absolutely agreed, 07cdnvibe...it'll be great to be able to pool knowledge of local resources and maybe even do a meetup sometime if there's enough folks. What mods have you got so far, mjowen, and what's on the way? :) As of right now just a Short Ram Intake and...

mjowen

My VVT-I Overlays arrived in the mail yesterday!

I'm also debating wether or not to debadge my hatch.

mjowen

Thanks a lot! When I have the time I'll take a look at it.

Plan on it in the future, not sure when I fully aim to do it.

mjowen

Cool man sounds good, I've got to get in touch with him about some otherr stuff too so ill let you know.

mjowen

Took some new pictures today!

mjowen

Have a family friend who runs the Apple Auto Glass, I think he might have given it up because people kept asking to have the windshield done but I'm sure he'd do it up for me.

mjowen

I'm not too sure to be honest I'm not too experienced with touch screens, I was looking at one at future shop and it worked great with just my finger but not sure what kind of screen it had. LEDS look great, I like that speaker, my inspections up in a few months so I think I'll hold off on the tint ...

Got bored this evening so I had a mini photoshoot with my Vibe and played around on Gimp with the pictures. http://i1273.photobucket.com/albums/y403/mitchellowen1/engineview_zpsaa075d95.jpg http://i1273.photobucket.com/albums/y403/mitchellowen1/engine2_zpse5dd61b4.jpg Decided to play around with the...

mjowen

Yea I don't need GPS myself but I am leaning a bit towards a nice touch screen, and I've been considering a Honda antenna myself.

As for meeting up, definitely just let me know when you're heading up and I'll see if I'm going to be around.

mjowen

Great thanks for the tip.

mjowen

Nice, great looking vibe too, what did the tint cost for you? I've been thinking about it but not 100% yet.

Hey guys! New Glasgow here, have an 05 with a couple of mods, more on the way.

mjowen

Thanks, I'm really happy with it, thanks for the help deciding which way to go with it.

mjowen

Just hit 141,000km on my 05

Installed my new SRI yesterday, works great and I love it. Definitely recommend dealing with Cosmo racing, shipping was only $17.00, prices are fair and it got here in 2 business days. I really like how you can't really hear it unless you try to I never liked the idea of being able to hear my car fr...

mjowen

Canada Post is saying its going to arrive today, can I get the k&n kit at Canadian tire?

Nevermind that just checked it myself and they have it in stock across town, I'll pick it up later on, thanks for the heads up.

mjowen

Great, sent you a PM

mjowen

The hydrolock prettymuch sold me on the SRI even if it is uncommon I don't want to take the chance.

We just drove around for a bit in our new (used) 2004 Vibe. We started off with a quarter of a tank remaining, drove about 40km, needle was around three quarters of the way between E and 1/4 mark, and then the low fuel warning light lit up. Isn't that a bit early? Every other car I've owned, the li...

mjowen

Still have the lights?

mjowen

Great looking Vibe, love the color, rims look great, there should be a place in Halifax that can take care of the chinese decks if you go that route, unfortunately I have no idea what would work best with that type of deck.

Costs about the same here in Nova Scotia I miss when I lived in PEI last year when it was 1.10/L

Thanks guys, tackled the painting of the engine cover using standard high heat paint over the weekend, may still add a clear coat to it but not sure what would be best.

I've had my vibe since the fall of 2010, I am the second owner the first being my mom who I bought the vibe from when she got a new Corolla. Only have the one picture on my computer at the moment, I'll be taking more this weekend. http://i1273.photobucket.com/albums/y403/mitchellowen1/IMG-20120706-0...

Ordered it this morning, shipping was 17.00
