Welcome! I myself have been away for some years (life, new babies, etc etc), but have had a yearning to come back

Psychobroker

Very nice GT!

Psychobroker

Congrats on a great find! It warms my heart when I hear of people seeking out these 1st gen GT's

Psychobroker

If not resolved, have you cleaned the MAF sensor?

Psychobroker

Add a TWM short shifter and brass shifter cable bushings (links below), and you've got two great DIY projects that really bring a noticable difference in shifting. No more slop and 40% shorter throws: TWM short shifter: http://www.twmperformance.com/shortshifters/pontiacshortshifters/pontiacvibeshor...

Wow, clean looking GT for it's age. Looks to have been well taken care of. Curious about the PPE header, as I've heard the stock header is pretty good for OEM. Who tinted the car? I used to tint for a shop out in Mesa before I moved back home to KS. I was going to say... the finish on mine is shot,...

Greetings All, My name is Andre, and I am from Northwest Indiana. I just bought an 03 Vibe GT with 150k Miles on it back in March after my previous DD was involved in a Hit & Run. I also own a turbo Honda S2000 for my Summer toy and as of late that project has been pulling funding in prep for t...

Psychobroker

PS Can't believe I've been gone so long LOL... still have and love my 03 GT.

Psychobroker

WOW! Awesome job... can't believe i've ever seen such a thorough interior cleaning!

Psychobroker

Welcome!

Psychobroker

torque steer is a common FWD problem, moreso with manuals.

Psychobroker

Nice, I will go that route - thanks epcIII

Psychobroker

Wolf - you are da MAN! If I don't find one at a junkyard tomorrow, I'll order the driver's side liner:http://www.partsgeek.com/catal....htmlI just need to source the fasteners.EDIT: Ok, found a view of the BASE slash guards through Trademotion/GM partsdirect, but like Carson Toyota's trademotion cat...

Psychobroker

Thanks!

Psychobroker

Thanks for the WB!In addition to the fasteners, I need the driver's side wheel well liner and whatever attaches to it. I also need the plastic protector under the oil pan.Thanks!

Psychobroker

Hi Everyone - it's been yet another long time for me away from GenVibe, but my GT is going strong and I'm taking care of her, which always brings me back To that end, the plastic underpinnings/protection that attach to the front bumper and trail back to under the il pan are going to hell in a handba...

Psychobroker

Very nice set of new blood in here

Psychobroker

Awesome! Do you have any pics of the job?

Psychobroker

Wow, and I was about to do the happy dance for hitting 100k in my 03 GT!

Psychobroker

Welcome! (although I've been gone forever again lol)

Psychobroker

Congrats on the find, but very sorry for the loss of the Vibe

Psychobroker

Nice grill!EDIT: As a taxpayer, I, too, forgot to say "you're welcome" for the 1st time buyer credit

A few install pics:Basic strut spring compressors + 3/8" 17MM ratchet+socket - would be a lot faster with an impact gun, but this is easy enough. Just be sure to alternate each side every so often. Many auto parts outlets loan these out for a ~$50 refundable deposit.:Torn dust shields/boots; we...

Psychobroker

I love the concept and idea, however, the boot I purchased (well over 3 years ago) never fit perfectly. I ordered correctly, accounting for my TWM shifter. Perhaps I should have come to you guys first, but the install went in shortly before I ended up leasing a different vehicle, so it ended up sitt...

Welcome to genvibe after all these years! Excellent choice on the GT, btw

Psychobroker

Hiya Cibomatto! It was about 3 years for me too, with the Vibe garaged while I was driving my lease. Now the Vibe's back on the road, and I just finished a strut install Nice to hear from you again.

Psychobroker

Alright, so the Tokico's are finally in and WOW, what a difference (for me). It's important to know that my front stockers were super worn - not "blown", per say - they compressed as easily as flattening a pillow Quicker acceleration, better ride quality (still firm and sporty), and of cou...

Psychobroker

Alright, so I Finally have all parts needed for the install after yanking the front struts last weekend, only to find the dust covers (aka "front insulators") were brittle and torn. I decided to order new ones from the local Toyota dealer for ~$16 each and picked them up today. I'll post s...

Psychobroker

Holy cow that's sick! My only concern would be the added weight. How much does that thing weigh?

Psychobroker

Hey guys! Major hugs all around -- nice to see you both here too The Fam is doing well (daughter now with us 50% of the time instead of 25%, so that's great and she's doing GREAT!), Vibe is doing well and will be back to my daily driver. I just couldn't sell it. I did receive some offers, but also l...

Funny how GM initiates a recall of 1.3 million cobalts due to power steering problems/failures, yet nothing in the mainstream media... hmmmmThis, and the two main triggers for the Toyota recall -- two accidents resulting in 8 deaths, if I recall -- was due to 1) a rental car company's error in insta...

Psychobroker

^^ Ahh, perhaps. I am out here in Sunny Southern California where we never use road salt, even in the Sierras.I guess I just don't want to set up shop, remove all struts/springs, only to find I need to replace the springs. The car's been used only lightly (5,000 - 7,000 miles or so) over the last 1....

Psychobroker

Heya Scherry! Nice to see you still here Hmm, was saturn9's problem something that would have happened with any brand aftermarket spring, or was that a mfg defect in the finish?

Psychobroker

So my baby is back on the road after being garaged for a while during my RDX lease. The lease is over, and I'm back tot he Vibe and excited to get to do a few more things with her. For now, I realize that with ~87k miles and a bumpier/bouncier ride than I remembered, my struts are likely worn and re...
