Vibe, Matrix, Celica all the same ?

Post by hhsgiant »

Im new to this forum and also to mod'ing on my vibe but since the 03 base vibe and matrix and the celica all use the 1.8 vvt-i motor are the bolt on parts like intakes work the same cause i can get a intake for a celica cheaper than for a vibe and the motors should be the same

Vibe and Matrix are the same. the Celica's engine bay is laid out differently. Corolla's engine bay is similar to ours as well.

I have a 04 Matrix XRS and 06 Corolla XRS. The engine and bay is exactly the same between the two. The suspension is the same size too so springs and sways are interchangeable.
