Pontiac Vibe Toyota Matrix supercharged
Changed the Magnaflow race cannister to a knock-off Magnaflow Performance XL (oval, 3-chambered) to lessen cabin drone. It worked, but now it sounds more "raspier" and "tinny".
Pontiac Vibe AWD test / Review
Couldn't find a video really demonstating that these awd systems actually work. They're not the greatest, but offer far better traction than a fwd.
2009 Toyota Matrix 1.8 Stock 0-100 (0-60) Acceleration
Stock automatic base Matrix, with the 1.8 132hp engine. Pretty standard economy car acceleration, about 10 seconds to 60mph. I found the transmission to be very reluctant to kickdown at highway speeds. I ended up using the shifter to manually downshift rather than estimating how deep I had to dip into the gas pedal to make it downshift.
Corolla TRD supercharger
This is a polished Supercharger for a 1zz-fe (9th gen 2003-2008) corolla/matrix/vibe. Posted because I am trying to sell this polished Supercharger. As far as I know, it is one of a kind. I have not seen or heard of another one.
2004 Pontiac Vibe Cold Idle Problem
2004 Pontiac Vibe standard 5 speed manual transmission. Problem with fluctuating RPMs while idling in cold weather. Idle speed varies between 1800 and 2500. Seems like the engine cuts out until the RPMs fall back.

I, Jordan, assume no liability for anything you choose to do to your car, before, or after watching one of my videos, including this one. All DIY repairs, or modifications, you perform to your car are made at your own risk. Sometimes, even if you've done everything the right way, you can destroy, or damage, a piece, or part. You must understand this; part of doing a repair, and/or modification is messing up sometimes. Also, if for some reason, I do give incorrect instructions, and something breaks because you followed my instructions, I still will not reimburse, or pay, in any way, for whatever cost that may be incurred.
