Re: Exhaust question

What mufflers have people used on their Vibe's? Buddy of mine put a 3" Thrush on his WRX and it was one of the best sounding exhausts I've ever heard, regardless of engine displacement or brand of exhaust... At least until I installed my SpecialtyZ 2.5" resonated x-pipe cat-back on my Z lo...

Re: Poor Man's Complete Performance Mod Guide for the 1ZZ-FE

Most of those links in the OP aren't working nowadays lol

Anyone care to update what are some good places to get moderate bolt on's like these?

Re: Anyone Had Front Struts Replaced?

ProDemand is showing 2.6 hours for remove and replace both front struts. 3.2 hours total if you include the time it takes to also remove the existing springs and put them on the new struts, if you're wondering. I had absolutely no idea that Monroe now offers Quick-Struts for the Vibe/Matrix. Just c...

Re: New member wanting a Vibe

Looks good inthat pic, but now needs a paint job lol

Needs a lot of work to be showroom, but I have her setup reliably as a daily, just have too many projects planned for her, and 17-19 mpg's isn't cutting what I need out of a daily driver

Re: New member wanting a Vibe

We have lovebugs down here in FL that mess up front bumpers regularly. Their blood is acidic apparently, so front bumper blemishes don't mean much to me lol I also would get tired of that color after a few years, and already envision repainting the Vibe a certain color. As long as the body is straig...

Re: New member wanting a Vibe

I want an auto slowpoke MPG machine lol The Z is fairly quick, but only gets 17-19 mpg's. Couldn't get rid of it if I tried, but honestly need something a bit more conventional, so I'm super interested in a Vibe. They're a good price too. The one in Tampa is the one I'm most interested in, even thou...

Re: New member wanting a Vibe

The Z... Although it's a project for the most part, this was taken when I was leaving campus last year http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/ee108/kowboydmac/IMG_20120724_184709.jpg A few of the specs are: 1pc driveshaft, emissions deletes, headers + magnaflow high flow cats + SpecialtyZ exhaust (not i...

Re: New member wanting a Vibe

Vibe sounds like it can handle itself on the highway, which is all I ask. I could care less about zoom-zoom. I'd rather pass more fuel pumps than cool kids in v8's :P Thanks for those links fellas! The NGK BKR6's are eerily close to the plug I want to try out in my NA 300ZX. I think the oil I'd like...

New member wanting a Vibe

Hey, been browsing Matrix/Vibe stuff for a few weeks now. Like this site enough to sign up :) For starters, I have a 1990 Nissan 300ZX that is my baby, but the poor baby has been bruised for the last few months via spinning out and wacking a curb hard enough to bend a control arm. Not a total loss b...
