SC XR List of mods with pics

Post by Larry »

I don't post here too often but thought I'd share what I've been up to as of late. Here are some recent picks of my Matrix XR: Videos can be seen at http://larry.neptune.com My favorite video is with the RSX. There is also some other good videos. The Auto XRS vs. Auto SC XR shows the differnece between the two different models. I do have some extra mods though!

Where did you find a carbon fiber engine cover?! I've been looking all over for one of those! Got any new pics of your engine bay?

Nice looking Matrix. I'm impressed with all the mods. I'm getting there myself with my Vibe GT. Great videos too.

Your video site is awesome. Nice mods. I love the sound of the SC whirring up.

I got it for free and am glad I did. I'm not a big fan of it. I don't like how the wires are so visible. Here's a pic of someone elses.

I get a better 0-60 time from informal runs I've done but once I hit 3rd gear in my auto, the XRS or Vibe GT barely pulls ahead. The gear ratio of the 6-speed manual really helps in the 1/4 mile. Overall I'm very happy with the power. It's nice to be able to stay with the manual guys and have the convenience of the auto for my daily commute.
