MaSlade - 2010 Vibe

MaSlade · Post by **MaSlade** » Thu May 09, 2013 6:04 pm

Major Update: The Finale

Hey everyone.

Just wanted to update you with some bittersweet news. A week ago, I traded in the 53,000 mile Vibe for a 2014 VW Jetta GLI with 12,000 miles. The deal they gave me was just too good to ignore. I've gained +7mpg, +56hp(+102hp with tune), and of course, another loan

However, I'm happy that someone else will be able to enjoy it.

2014 VW GLI

See ya around!

Hey there GenVibe community!

The name's Slade and I have owned my Vibe since March 2013. Many upgrades/mods have been done to my Vibe these past couple of months, and I'm definitely having a lot of fun with it!!

The day I took her home:

After all of the modifications I have done:

*Update: 12/29/2013*

What the Vibe looks like as of today:

I'm absolutely in LOVE with the yellow fogs

I bet that looks GORGEOUS comin down the road.

Antenna is cool too, think I may jump on one of those soon too.

Always been a huge fan of yellow fogs, and the yellow light really helps light up the road when it's nasty out. I went to visual garage.com for the shark fin. It definitely beats the stubby antenna and I even get better reception!

Glad to see you started a Garage thread Slade! I had no idea that your Vibe was lowered and that you had the TRD front strut brace! It's nice to see the strut brace installed against a silver 2.4L engine bay as I am planning on replacing the OEM front strut brace on my GT with the TRD one. Do you have any plans to get the TRD rear sway bar as well? Keep up the good work with your Vibe and I definitely look forward to seeing more updates from you

Thank you very much! I was thinking of you when I was writing it up

I had no idea I was going to install them to be honest with you

I already had the parts hanging around my garage, and I kind of just started working on it the other day. I'm VERY impressed with how well things went!! The drop wasn't as low as I thought it was going to be, but the spring/strut bar upgrade makes it drive like a totally different car! I would have gone with the Eibach lowering springs for a 2" drop all around, but I figured TRD was tuned for the chassis and I didn't want to blow the stock shocks/struts. Proud to say it was my first suspension install that turned out to be successful. I definitely feel like the Vibe is leaning into turns now instead of feeling like it's about to flip over like before

The strut brace is a nice addition, the only thing I don't like about it is that the TRD emblem gets covered up by the windshield cowl. Aw well

Now how could I go full TRD suspension without the rear sway bar?

It's on my to-do list; without question.

vibenvy · Post by **vibenvy** » Sat May 11, 2013 11:47 am

Glad to hear the rear sway bar is on your to-do list as well! Unfortunately because the 2009-2010 Vibe GT has IRS (Independent Rear Suspension), the only TRD suspension part I can use is the front strut brace

. As I said though, seeing it installed on your Vibe definitely convinced me to go ahead and get one for mine! The goofy looking OEM front strut brace has always bothered me and the red of the TRD one will add a little more color to the mostly black engine bay.

Glad to help you with your decision! The strut brace will hover about 1/8" until you completely tighten it, so don't worry about it. That, and the washers that came with my strut brace were far too small for the suspension bolts. Just had to get washers that would fit the bolt and everything worked out.

Congrats on the upgrade! :]

Hey, how do the TRD's ride?
I've seen reviews saying they're kinda stiff.
I mean I know all lowering springs compromise ride comfort,
but I see many reviews online saying the Tein S-Techs tend to be soft (occasionally bottoming out)
and the TRD's tend to be more stiff with less of a drop.

They definitely ride better than the stock springs. Not AS stiff but I actually feel like I'm leaning into turns instead of feeling like I'm about to roll over. If you can afford a good pair of aftermarket shocks/struts that can handle a drop of 2"+, then The Tiens are definitely the better choice as far as drop and performance, but I went with TRD because they're optimized for the stock shocks. Yeah, the drop isn't significant but you can tell the difference. If I didn't have a child in the backseat, then I wouldn't have to worry about ride comfort

Since you have a first gen, you shouldn't have a problem researching the best setup for you. It was a safe call with the TRD setup since I figured I would spend $400 up front instead of $1000+ in blown shocks and damaged chassis.

Plus they're painted red like the front strut brace and rear sway bar

*Update 5-16-2013*

Caved in and bought the Typhoon K&N intake for my birthday

. I'm guessing they consider it a Cold Air Intake because of the extra plastic piping that runs from the bottom right of the filter shield. The pipe probably catches the air at the lower grille/kidney grilles and gets sucked in next to the radiator.

I like it so far

It's definitely louder than the factory airbox when you go above 4000 RPMs, and it does feel more responsive. I may have to invest in an aFe dry filter because of my oiling paranoia.

A Psycho Martyr · Post by **A Psycho Martyr** » Thu May 16, 2013 12:14 pm

looks great man.

Tell me,
how difficult is it to stay off the pedal now that you can hear the intake?

MaSlade · Post by **MaSlade** » Thu May 16, 2013 4:42 pm

Shoot. You got me

Man, I can't keep my foot off the pedal! Wondering if I'm going to get better gas mileage or if it's going to be worse because of my "spirited" driving

Just ordered a GT spoiler with some BDay money

vibenvy · Post by **vibenvy** » Thu May 16, 2013 5:22 pm

Wow, I don't come on here for a few days and you have all these new mods done! As I said in your thread in the Exterior Forum, the new lights look great

! Glad to see you got yourself the K&N CAI as well

! You're exactly right about why K&N considers it a cold air intake as opposed to a short ram. As far as filters go, we have had AEM Brute Force Dryflow air filters (#21-203BF) on both our Vibes since the intakes were initially installed and I couldn't be happier with them. No need for oiling and IMO the grey color of the filter looks better than the reddish/orangeish color of the K&N filter. You can find one on eBay for under $50.00, than turn around and sell the K&N filter to make your money back (this is what I did)

. I look forward to seeing the GT spoiler installed on your Vibe and hopefully this weekend I will have time to install my TRD front strut brace and I will have some pictures of my own to post

!

Oh, and yes, your gas mileage may go down after first installing the intake because you will enjoy the "new" sound of the engine so much, but I assure you once you get over the initial thrill, you should see a modest gain in MPGs. We've seen a consistant 1-2 MPG increase with ours.

MaSlade · Post by **MaSlade** » Fri May 17, 2013 5:17 pm

I've had a few days off

I may have to go the AEM route, so thank you for giving me the reference number

I'll just add the K&N filter to my stash (I have multiple from previous air intake installations) so I can use em for later experiments! I'm completely stoked for the GT spoiler to arrive, but I can't wait

What to do next...

You're very welcome for the AEM info

BTW... engine cover looks good

Engine cover came out great!

Nice to see ppl taking their time with projects like this.

Rushing it only compromises the final result.

Paint and masking all came out great

*Update 6-1-2013*

My GT spoiler came in

The spoiler was easy to swap out and it was a lot bigger than I thought it was going to be! It frightened me at the beginning because I didn't think it was going to fit, but it lines up/bolts on exactly like the stock spoiler. It was held on by five 10mm nuts and pops off of trim clips after that. What I discovered was in order to access the spoiler nuts, I only had to remove the trim piece that fits over the third brake light, as well as the left and right pieces attached to it. The large trim piece that fits over the rear windshield wiper motor does not need to be removed.

Also, HUGE thanks to the people at GrafxWerks. I told them about my vinyl mishap/fail and they sent me another set for free! They are the best at helping out their customers.

The spoiler looks great! I always think the Bases and AWDs look so weird with the tiny little OEM spoiler. I guess I am just so used to seeing the "big ole" GT spoiler all the time

.

I tried removing my spoiler once to see if I could tighten it up a bit more (it seems loose) and I couldn't get it off for the life of me. I removed the 10mm bolts you mentioned, but it was like it was stuck to the hatch or something. I didn't want to break it so I didn't force it. Maybe I'll have to give it another shot since you mentioned some trim clips. I'm sure those are what was holding it on. Once you removed the bolts, did you just pull on it to remove it from the clips? Any advice you could give me would be greatly appreciated as I would like to re-visit this and see if I could stabilize the spoiler a little more.

Yes... Ryan at Grafx Werks is awesome

!

So... what's the next mod gonna be

!?!

MaSlade · Post by **MaSlade** » Sat Jun 01, 2013 9:56 am

The spoiler feels loose for me as well, but I think it's because of how far it sticks out. There are two trim clips on the left and two on the right, but I wouldn't use my hands to force it out. I would get a plastic wedge to pry it off because I think pulling it off by hand would definitely break it.

Thanks~!

vibenvy · Post by **vibenvy** » Sat Jun 01, 2013 10:03 am

Okay, thanks for the info. I'll give it another try one of these days.

No problem!

Always nice to catch up with my GT counter-part

My air filter came in as well and I could tell it was going to suit me just fine. Fit perfectly and no problems yet!

As for the next mod... they tend to come in spontaneous spurts. We shall see.

LOL

! Too bad you're too far south to make it to the meet in Pontiac in a couple weeks

. It'd be awesome to get some shots of our Vibes together!

Yeah, you will be very happy with the air filter. No worrying about possibly over-oiling it and it's really easy to clean too. I tap mine on the ground a couple times, than go over it with the shop vac. It doesn't really seem to even get too dirty, except for the occasional small bugs getting caught in it

.

I definitely look forward to seeing what mod/s you come up with next

tpollauf · Post by **tpollauf** » Sat Jun 01, 2013 8:10 pm

Looks real good on your base Vibe

Did the spoiler come Pre-painted? I believe you can order them either way (primed or already painted). Make sure the spoiler is snug because some of us with the GT spoiler have had minor "rattles" from the loose/sloppy fit and it drives you nuts after awhile. Keep up the good work

Every time I pass by another Vibe down here, I always wonder if they're a part of the forum or not. It's slightly irritating

I wanna give some Vibe love!

As for the air filter, I have a pre-filter on top of the filter similar to this but red:

I don't need to worry about water/bugs/dirt/etc. getting into contact with the actual filter, so it's a nice extra layer of protection. I'm researching heavily into the hood damper mod, just need to find the right struts... WHAT DO I DO NEXT D:

Thanks Tim

The spoiler was already painted because of the GM part code I looked up. Just matched up the code with my color which saved me a few steps. I tried to get it as tight as possible, but it still wobbles a tad, but it's definitely weatherproofed/snug as possible. My rear finally has some "flair"

I actually have one of those filter wraps too (mine's black), but I ended up removing it because I thought it looked kind of goofy

. Definitely a good way to keep that filter clean though

Got a chance to install my rear-sway bar and it's safe to say that I've finally completed my TRD suspension upgrade. MAN, what a difference after installing the rear-sway bar! The TRD bar is a little lighter, but it's sturdier than stock. After installation (took about 15-20 minutes), I took the Vibe out for a test drive and corners are a lot tighter/neater. The Vibe doesn't roll as much and the back feels stiffer than stock.

P.S. Just for reference, TRD springs, front strut, and rear-sway bar for the 2010 Matrix definitely fit the 2009-2010 models.

Of course, I always take my pictures at night

Your Vibe is looking really nice! Great Job - your info on the TRD lowering springs is what I've been looking for - I have a base 2.4 as well with the front TRD brace & rear sway bar & have been toying with the idea of those springs - I'm looking for better handling without much sacrifice on ride quality or being too low (thats what my other car is for) - how is the overall ride quality for daily driving with the springs? Also, are those yellow fog lamp assemblies a direct fit for mounting or did you have to mod them? I have 3000K yellow HID's but I'm liking that look - Thanx & Keep up the good work!

Infinity-x · Post by **Infinity-x** » Fri Aug 16, 2013 8:30 pm

Thanks! I was wary about dropping too low because of the terrible roads around my city

Plus having a smooth ride was ideal because of the baby in the back. The TRD lowering springs WILL drop your Vibe â‰¥1", so ride quality won't be sacrificed PLUS they aren't enough of a drop to destroy the stock shocks. The springs are built differently than stock, so maneuvering feels a bit more nimble and daily driving is always excellent. I figure since it's made to enhance (and not destroy) a 2010 Matrix, it will do the same with it's sibling

Because I didn't have fog lights installed before installing my fogs, I just had to drill out holes to mount the lamp. The fogs I ordered lined up perfectly, so if you have fog lights already installed, I believe they would be a direct bolt-on. I just did a search for "yellow 2008 camry fog lights" and went for the less-pricey set. It comes with the Camry fascia, but you can toss or recycle them. If I remember correctly, I got them from here: http://www.racinglab.com/oem-fl-kit-070 ... ellow.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Since you have the same color as my Vibe, the part number is: 19171939. Really, all I did was google search the part number, but gmpartsdirect.com will probably net you the best price under $200. Good luck!

Great to hear from you again Slade! I was just wondering the other day where you had been since I hadn't seen you post in a while.

I hate to admit this, but sometimes I wish I had a 2009-2010 Base, so I could install and enjoy the TRD lowering springs and rear anti-sway bar

Thanx again for the info

- I see you plasti-dipped your manifold heat shield, how is that holding up? I tired to find info about heat tolerance but didn't really find anything - I assume that stuff must be pretty good (I used high heat caliper paint on my shield)

Finally had the chance to turn the wrench last weekend! Been so busy I haven't even washed it for a month now

I always wish I had the GT (or at least an AWD version) because of the horrible roads down here lol. I'm always hitting bumps and the transfer is annoying! But every once in a while I'll hit the freeway and I'll be blessed with a smooth ride for 15-30 mins. It is nice having a TRD suspension though ;] Might help with maintaining the value too!

No worries! The Dip on the heat shield is still holding up well. I've heard of people dipping their exhaust tips and not having a problem with heat. My wheels have met their match after driving through some dirt roads, though. Might have to go with a wilder color next time around

We'll see what happens

Update 12/21/2013

It's been a while since I've posted. I'm still alive, just busy-livin'.

I was able to score some WeatherTECH mats along with a rear Vibe cargo mat for 80 bucks! Best money I ever spent! Even more so with all the sand here in Florida. So much easier to clean up.

Finally got the chance to get a vacation from everything and got some nice country shots of the Vibe; figured you guys would appreciate these more than anyone else I know, so thank you for that!

Agree with Carrie. Looking REAL good

Too bad the LED strips you got awhile back were NOT weather proof. If they were cheap enough, get another set and weatherproof them yourself then you'll be all set. Also I wish we only had to deal with sand

Up here in the Midwest winter, it is the evil SALT that is much worse than sand

Keep up the good work!

After thinking about it for a long time, I finally went ahead and did it.

I installed projectors into an aftermarket set of headlights and finished it all after work yesterday! Aligning them were a *****, though. I almost cried after the 3rd hour

. BUT, the good news is that it's over!

The kit I installed: Morimoto mini h1 projectors, 4300k xb35 h1 bulbs, mini graphite shrouds, OEM Denso ballasts. Ran me ~$400 + 6 hours of slow and steady work.

Looks great Slade! Did you black out all the chrome and silver in the headlight housings?

I agree with Nick. I highly recommend Stealth Auto for chrome amber bulbs. A little pricey, but they are well worth it and come with a lifetime warranty.
