Post by 04chargedvibe »

Hello everyone,I just wanted to introduce myself. My names Chris and I own a 2004 vibe. I stumbled across this site and thought I'd join. Ive put some work into it. Engine wise only thing ive done so for is put a GM supercharger on it. I have the body kit and spoilers and wheels and tires all changed out. I love this car. Havent had one problem except for the transmission going on around 70K miles. But anyways i just wanted to introduce myself.

(with and without the S/C)What was your tranny problem? Was it caused by the S/C? A/T or M/T?Post some pics or it's off to the gallows...lol.

Did you buy the S/C new or used? and where from? Are you using the TRD ECU? How's it running for you?
