still have the 03, but thanks to a youngster and his lack of shoulder checking it has 04 body mouldings added this week.Other than that still going strong. and I still love LIFT.
Wife just got her vibe back after a minor scrape where another car turned into the side of her. Cost almost $7000 in repair. Crazy that it was all cosmetic, and there was nothing structural. The car is an 03 and not worth more than $10K.Parts and molding is crazy expensive.
The saddest part of this is that we know that there are many out there that are thinking.....How can I do that to my Civic??!!!?!?!?Bring on the next set of stupid home made junk.
The GTA was never a good place to get the Viber's together, I think there has only been one or two meets that actually were planned and happened over the years. I know that many of the meets ended up getting cancelled due to politicing within the forum. Good luck with putting one together,
Wife and I were out looking for a replacement for one of our cars and have come to the following crossroad.Do we order a G6 GTP convertible and wait until they can get one with the specs that we want. Do we take the solstice that is sitting on the lot that we can live with ORdo we wait until the &qu...
My centerforce clutch is finally seating properly, has taken this long for breaking, and HOLY improvement BATMANMADBILL - missing the regular updates on your car, can you start a new thread, with up to date pics and a run down of the "projects"
According to a friend that I have at the CRTC, there is a really long way to go before we get XM radio in Canada. As I understand it, there are huge issues with liscencing and Canadian content laws that will keep it away from here for years to come.Sucks, but it is what it is.
I have one, but have never used it, and have never really thought about it before, but I have no idea what they do. Can someone give a fast lesson on what they do. Is it as simple as keeping the oil a few degrees warmer????
I was out looking for new wiper blades and came across these blades called reflex.They have no linkage that will freeze in the winter and are make of a material that will contour to the winshield and have next to no drag at speed.Has anyone ever seen them before and do they REALLY work?I think I am ...
I think that there are the vibe has started a look in cars that is going to last for a while. Funny that most makers have somethnig similar. Here is another versionhttp://www.mercedes-benz.ca/index.cfm?id=3849
I don't know if this may help, but at the beginning of the summer, I had a similar problem that was diagnosed as the fins within the Rad had collapsed, and as a result the rad was holding more coolant than normal. I had to get the rad replaced, which was about a 5 day turn around because GM is not s...
If anyone is looking at hotels for the meet, i found a site that has the most common ones in the areahttp://listingsca.com/Ontario/...ality/the hotel listings are under travel (bottom right of the screen)
It appears that zedtim has gone AWAL again, but here are the plans as I know themMeet and greet at GM Canada head office parking lot early afternoon.Go for a run through the scenic areas that Durham Region has to offer (no gravel, or dirt roads, everything will be on black top)This could involve a r...
Just starting to get a feel for how many cars are going to be at the meet in Oshawa. I think it will be a great day. Nothing is carved into stone yet, but a meet and greet, poker run/rally and a BBq are all planned and in the works.The more people the better, and for those who are concerned, YES GM ...
It really does not matter if Gm is shut down because we are just using their lot for a gathering place. I know that Zedtim has a guest hooked up for the day that should be interesting( Sorry not a SC Vibe) . From what I understand the plan is to have a meet and greet, then hit the road for a cruise ...
We looked at theHyundai Tiburon Tuscani -- Fun to drive, nut no rear spoiler, so it looked like it was lacking something.Mazda 5 -wife did not like that the 5 speed shifter vibrated badly in 3rd. (honestly that is the only reason that we did not get that car)Mini Cooper S - could not get the finance...
I was thinking about leaks, and have never seen anything resembling a coolant leak on my drive way. Just went out and checked and nothing there. I wonder where it could be going.I would think that if it was going into the engine I would have noticed something right(he asks with a sheepish grin)
I have been having a problem with the heat in my car. It seems that when the car is running about town there is no heat from the HVAC, on the highway it is fine. Took the car to the dealership today regarding the problem, and when the service advisor looked at the coolant level, he said that there w...
Goddyears are not that great in the bad weather, wet roads are the worst. If you can get them to go with a really good tire and split the difference rather than the goodyears.
Ant other info on this problem. Mine started to do the same thing a few days ago, I also noticed that the temp guage started to climb this morning after about a ten minute drive where the guage was normal, when I stopped the car at an interstection, the guage started to climb. By the time I had the ...
WEEEEEELLLLL guess who showed up on my doorstep. One friend along with a torn up for sale sign. I thought that I was going to die when I opened the door, but to my surprize, I was met with a great big smile and a laugh. Turns out that there were nine offers on the car today including one guy with a ...
is the black chrome process similar to the regular chrome process. I Don't recall ever seeing it before. It would be really cool in the right application.
Since today is Apirl fools, I have taken the liberty to put my friends car up for sale. It is a 2003 Vette Z06. He went to work early this morning and I took the libety of stopping by his house and pulling it out into the drive way. (He lives on a realy busy street). The 4Sale sign reads that the ca...
used this while shopping today. I was looking for a camera, and the salesman was giving me line after line about how great these cameras were. I stopped him, asked this question, then walked out of the store.I hate when you get someone who sucks up to you when all you really wnt is information.
My 2cents worth.Just remember that we are sitting here complaining about the price of gas while drinking our $1.00 per 500ml bottle of water or $2.00 per grande coffee. Gas really is not that bad when you compare it to other things that we buy.
How long did it take to start to notice the discoloring and sandblasting.I am still waiting for mine to change. I want to change my cladding to the monotone but am waiting see if I can get the 04 look before painting everything
Not to turn this into a huge event, but Why bother to smoke this stuff??Never done it, so I am asking. No preaching please.(Unless it comes from the Rev. Poopypants)
Looking for more fun factor than the mazda 6. Two door and faster than juice through a goose. Another factor is that I don't want something that everyone else has or has had. Things like the mustang, camaro and the vet are like belly buttons. Everyone has one, and if they son't have one then they kn...
This car is going to be fur fun only. The last thing that I want is practical. THe new z350 and rx8 are out of the price line mainly because I am going to have to get a winter car if I get something like that. The mr2 is an interesting thought. Maybe even its big brother the supra Twin turbo. i have...
