dicksonadams: He had an accident with the Matrix, so the airbag has done its job. What I know is: Steering wheels are interchangeable between the 2003-2008 Corolla, Matrix and Pontiac Vibe. What I also know is: the airbags are not all the same for the Corolla/Matrix/Vibe (not sure a Matrix airbag will work on a Vibe and vice versa) To find out which is which contact Aunty Rad or Gazz for professional advice as some airbags employ just one connector while the same three spoked wheel steering has two connectors. |

dicksonadams: They’re readily available. A brand new Delphi compressor (Vibe) is cheaper than a Denso compressor (Matrix) - I know this because I've bought one. My initial comments were based on the fact that my colleague exported Matrix AC components to his Vibe. He had an accident with his Matrix, and bought a naija used Vibe that just 'needed gas' - we ended up learning a lot after we topped gas . I won't advise anyone goes this route, we only took this path because we had the matrix parts already. |

dicksonadams: No chief. I mean if you want to use Matrix HVAC components on the Vibe you need a professional who will carry out the surgical f.vcke.ry. 1 Like |

HeavenlyBang: Make mistake put three KINGreignn: Unnecessary grammar. Hit a pothole at any speed that affects the shocks' positioning slightly and be ready for messages of impending doom on the instrument cluster's malfunction screen. Me I no send, found a way to remove the Airmatic fuse, even that didn't completely disable the warnings especially if it runs a self diagnostic test during spirited driving. |

dicksonadams: A lot of things except many exterior body parts are interchangeable, side view mirrors are interchangeable. A colleague at my former place of work had one, coming from a wrecked Toyota Matrix, he had his own personal junkyard. I know for sure that door handles are the same on his Matrix and Vibe. As for HVAC, we learnt this the hard way when we thought we could just remove, insert and inshallah! Denso Compressors are plug and play on the 1ZZFE, but that's all where the good news ends. If you try to run a Toyota compressor on the vibe, you must export things like the expansion valve, AC lines, blower motor harness or something, evaporator, resistor, I think the Matrix's condenser might work but we didn't get that far during the surgery last year. And oh, you need a competent mecho or the vibrations will end your tinkering career. |

Weyreypey calm down. That car is very reliable, way more reliable than my Benz W211. This particular IS was gotten from calc.ulu.sx on here last year. Only time it visited a workshop was when it had immobilizer issues, would have spent way less if I was in Lagos. You and I know we learnt DIYs or reading of fault codes because of our dalliance with German money pits.The engine for this Is250 is 90-100k, the M112 is 80k or so. Suspension components prices are almost the same bar 4matic rates. Yes the leather is sh*t, only thing the Merc wins here is interior design. Exterior wise, I'd choose the IS every effing time. 3 Likes

happydude: Those are 16's right? They won't be hard to find even if they are 15's. Now to the cheaper option, find someone who welds/fixes AC condensers, they will reheat and reshape your alloys eliminating the bumps as much as possible. Won't cost more than 2-3k per wheel. |

Philadelphia: You will derail with impunity when it suits your purpose, when someone else does, you cry wolf. If the cars are bought won't they be transferred? The OP sometimes ships cars with replacement parts and even services the engines atimes, you think he doesn't know that he's supposed to sell cars "as is" alone? As always if you're ready to go down the name calling route, mention my moniker on a dead thread, let's have fun. 13 Likes |
