Atlxmatrix's Car

[atlxmatrix]

ok guysi have to say i love this little car and i cant wait till more aftermarket parts for the 1.8 to come out. Anyways i havent really had a whole lot of time on my hands for my sonic build. Tax money should be here in a few days! When those funds are avaliable i will be crossing some things off my wish list, but here is what i have so far:

Mods:
Custom exhaust 2.25" pipe, magnaflow res, and obx muffler (for now)
HID Blue 11k
Plasti Dip Rims, emblems,and front bumper

Coming soon:
DDM works shifter bushing
17" Zen rims
Trifecta Tune
Weapon R Intake
Window Tint
Pedders Coilovers
Plasti Dip whole car(maybe) not matte black

Repainted Bumper

Nice car

 

[atlxmatrix]

thank you

 

[atlxmatrix]

weapon R intake ordered today!

 

[firstorbit84]

nice. where in GA are you?

also i don't understand why so many 1.8 owners on here really want to add performance parts.

I'm pretty sure everyone that has installed the Weapon R intake on the 1.8 without a tune have gotten a CEL for the MAF.

also i don't understand why so many 1.8 owners on here really want to add performance parts.

Why not? I have added performance parts to my NA Sierra.....

Looks nice

 

[Scuba24]

I like the whole front center section blacked out. Looks like an evo

I guess because most people bought their sonic new and I'd think, why not just get the 1.4t if they cared at all about performance... But nevermind. This has been discussed ad nauseum in other threads

Nice looking car, but what's up with the pink lid on your garbage can?

 

[atlxmatrix]

rdss we shall see what happens weapon r says that as long as you disconnect the batt before install all should be good

well im in hall county and to answer your question and the 1.8 was the only one on the lot that was 5spd. besides there will be a turbo kit out sooner or later for the 1.8 anyway.

and seanp1 the garbage can lid is for breast cancer

No.

 

[seanp1]

Breast cancer research is a great cause!

 

[atlxmatrix]

smit what do you mean no?

 

[Eric Smit]

it won't be fine if you disconnect the battery; the Sonic is not a normal car.

 

[atlxmatrix]

Just out of curiosity what would happen if the aforementioned was done? Also what will happen if it throws the maf

 

[atlxmatrix]

Also what would be the best intake for the 1.8 that won't cause the car to throw any codes?

 

[Eric Smit]

for power or economy?

Former, wait for K&N's intake. Latter, Injen.

 

[atlxmatrix]

def want more power

 

[atlxmatrix]

also ultra guage order today!
