actually it depends on the hid kit.the kit i bought. had the ballast go to the battery the original headlight socket wiring just powered a relay.these kits work brn up stock wiring or burn out because of drl

i used to get 30/35 or better in my 03 5 speed. but lately its been 25/30. ive cleaned my short ram/maf ran injector cleaner(even though i only use shell v-power 93) oil change the works. i think the gas stations may be sticking ethanol in because of the high prices. otherwise i cant explain it.i wa...

i have one. not that one but similar. the daytime picture is pretty good. the night vision is adequate i guess.if your using it for parking. you should try to find one with a swivel liscence plate mount . on at least one that can be angled down so that you see part of your bumper.othertwise it will ...

springs.aligment wont be off much

satur9

dont feel bad. a lot of other intakes forget the intsruction for the gt. he is taking about that little solenoid flap door thing.if you do a search for intakes on gt's here you should find what you need. some people tie it off. some cap it.

satur9

only matrix and vibes routing is the same 03 and 04 years you want

satur9

when mine did that i got two butter knives(or dull screwdrivers.)and just kept working it back in .it kept popping out but after 20 mins of cursing it went in . try compressing the cylinder further in with a big c clamp.

satur9

i went with chrome.

satur9

cheaper to keep her.the vibe that is.

satur9

they are stamp toyota in japanese on the inside.so its a toyota of japan supplied accessory. also that grill above was availible. but shipping would have been killer.

satur9

im'ed you.

satur9

old news . however you could probably still find one if you searched around a bit.

satur9

i got a few other mods but with my unichip tuned 1 put down 135 whp and 125 ftlb torque. this is to the the wheels with heavy 18" wheels on. i think the gains are a little better on a 2zz as well

satur9

when i got my graphics done by george. he removed his off his vibe gt. yes there was holes. he had covered his up with graphics. best bet . pull them off carefully so you dont break the clips if you have them and need to put them back.

satur9

that was supposed to say 14.1 with the highbeams and heater on. i been running as normal with lights,fogs,heater,amps and stuff on been remote starting it as well. so far so good. .

satur9

the car runs fine with the new battery 2nd day no problems. i did the headlight check again. 14 volts at idle 14.1 at 1500rpm. then i turned on everything icluding my 500 watt amp with the normal moon and tunes amp. 13.5v . radios off it stays at 14.tis is with the highbeams and heater on.

satur9

you can get o2 simulaors cel eliminators on ebay for 10-30 dollars.or you can make a mechanical one for about 5 bucks.go to your local autoparts store are find 18mm spark plug antifoulers.(2 types shallow and deep get deep) drill the small hole in one of them out to 3/8 in . drill the other one 1/4 ...

satur9

well the new one(probably refurbished) from autozone is only 103 dollars. so id still just get it from them. but it was freezing cold and and they made the new guy go out and test mine. first he said it wouldnt work because of my hypervoltage and ground wires were in the way. i said just put it on a...

satur9

okay yesterday it was 9 degrrees and my car wouldnt start. so i jumped it and went to work. on the way home my car starts acting funny and dies on the street. i push it of the road in fifteen degree weather this guy helps me push and gives me a jump. i get home and decide to let it run .10 mins late...

satur9

if youre street tuning the pfc yourself you need a wideband.if a shop is doing it on a dyno then no. if unichip doesnt have a celica harness it will still work but will need to be hardwired in

satur9

i like the look and always wanted a gt. but 158 hp? im at 135whp now and the gt's curb weight is 3085. and i still get mileage in the 30's.ive ignored the previous post about the 09's for he most part. because the g8 had m attention.but know im kinda torn. performance aside. i could see myself in bo...

satur9

yep, every year. check the gallery for previous year pics.

satur9

i believe that vette uses the sts kit. the make a fair amount of kits.

satur9

mine was a pia. i had too cut off the stock rubber and purchase a leather shift boot for it. i shouldve just bought on of those stick on ebay overlay ones. click the link in my sig for pics

satur9

big rubber hammer .rotate the rotor. whack it.rotate it .whack it. repeat.

satur9

there was only one time i let other people touch my car. and that was monkeywrench for my clutch install.and even they messed upped a little. i try to do it all myself as well cause even so called professionals dont care about your car as much as you do.. btw . why are they even attempting this with...

satur9

yes. you unplug the harness in the car under the pssenger side carpet by the center console. and pull the rubber body grommet and o2 sensor off. theres is a second body grommet further back under the passengers feet.use that.you may have to undo the little clip holding the harness and it still is a ...

satur9

sorry but my vibe wasnt that loud .the 2zz with no muffler was louder.spark plug antifoulers is the autozone part i guess they work better on high flow cats than no cats.cause i dont get a cel.

satur9

i have the jp headers and midpipe and thermal r&D exhaust.it removes the first cat and puts the o2 sensor after the 1 cat thats left essentially. anyway. if you wanna do it right put in one cat and a o2 bung after it with a mechanical(pipe extension)not electrical o2 sensor tricker.the mechanica...

satur9

its a pia but yeah you hafta reach up under the car. its a little easier if you jack or ramp the rear up. the sockets are half turns so just fish a couple of fingers or a pair of channel locks up there and twist.

satur9

okay i did a search for bearing. i have a ringing noise from what seems like my left front tire.its a high pitched noise. that usually occurs on high speed left tuns.i would take it in but the noise is sporadic at best and usually only happens on the freeway. most of the other topics on this dont me...

satur9

with the g8its the same feeling i got about the vibe.then it was the gto that i couldnt get before it left.but now the vibe is all but paid off. im seriously considering putting myself back into car loan debt for somtething thats easily twice as much as the vibe. a gt g8http://www.pontiac.com/g8

satur9

i just read thats is most likely gonna be a g8 coupe. so yeah camaro clone. i was posting another thread wishing i had the money to have gotten a 2006 gto .so i did a little search and found out about the g8 i never seen or heard about till 5 min ago. that thing is hot. screw the 06 gto. i wanna g8 ...

satur9

i love it. but id still take 74 vibes. well 72 and try to scrounge up a new gto that didnt sell.

satur9

i dont care which car has what or which car does what.i bought my vibe cause i wanted a vibe, if i wanted a subaru i would have bought one not saying that its a bad idea but.i doubt gm would have sold more vibes if they were subaru powered. the gt "suped up version " didnt sell all that gr...

satur9

rubber mats remind me to much of vans and station wagons.this is what i did.bad pic but its a metal footplate. over the hole on my carpeted mats.yes i did all four.click the link in my sig for pics of the rear.

sorry no stock dynos. the big dip is just a dyno error.when the nitrous kicks in the torque shoots up causing a blip.just a anomaly with thier dyno and not the car.

135hp 125 tq160hp 177tq nitrous (50 shot) 2003 base 5 speed withafe shortram,jp midpipe & headers,thermal exhaust,unichip,and ground wires and crapand heavy 18"s. the nitrous was running pig rich and i could get a little more power out of it by taking the fuel down a bit. but i didnt bring ...

i have the afe intake. when your moving its exactly the same temp as my old k&n typhoon. and that was about 2-5 degrees above ambient. im not sure what cold airs are but they cant be that much cooler. when youre stopped intake air heats up quick. just slightly less quick than k&N. i think th...

satur9

that sounds kinda like you suck in some coolant. if the lines are tight. are you sure you didnt crack or damage your thottle body. this thing shouldnt be giving you that many problems

satur9

2 words1) http://www.crutchfield.com2) blaupunkt hamburgokay thats more than two words. but it has what you want and crutctchfield will give you what ou need to install it for free.

satur9

no.a ive talked with a few vibes owners that have tried it.usually it comes down to "ive tried a few gallons at the track" hey ive even tried it on my 1zz (nitrous)but make sure its unleaded i know the higher ones are leaded, i used sunoco 104 unleaded. leaded gas will mess you up big time,

satur9

i demand pics too!!v oh wait i was there. good times, good times. anyway i wanna see the rainbow pics.

satur9

are you planning on upping the boost. if not your wasting your money on forged pistons.get a good set of rings and a decent tune and your set.

satur9

i bought a keyless entry power door lock kit for my wifes caravan on ebay for 50 bucks the trunk solenoid was another 15 bucks.but unless you feel confortable ripping you car apart and wiring i woul get it professionally done.

satur9

yes you clear the ecu learnings. but ater a few drive cycles of constant clearing.the ecu knows this isnt right and sets a code. which can be cleared with the unichip switch. just be sure to turn it back on. actually the code is for the battery backup if backup power can be maintained the ecu could ...

satur9

the power switch is for the cars ecu. not the unichip. you use it to temporarily kill power to ecu to reset cel. leving this switch in the off position will cause you to get a cel ecm batt malfunction. so if that was the cel you were getting then yes you had it off all this time.the reason you proba...

satur9

the newer units dont have a red light. i talked to unichip cause i was freaking out about it.
