Here recently my 03 GT has been sputtering, bad. Press the pedal down and it doesn't increase in power at all. There are so many theories that people have given me that I am at a loss. Everything from the ignition coils to injectors. Next on my list to try to weed out my problem are the coils. Does ...
I know that it's an older thread, but i was looking at your thread and saw the tien s-techs. Just a couple questions:
-How much did you end up getting them for?
-Were they hard to put on?
-Where did you get them?
and lastly,
-How do you like them?!
From what i have read and seen with both my '03 GT and my sisters '06 Base, the high idle is normal for these motors especially in cold weather. It's just their way of warming up! If you just let it warm up a bit and come back out when your car is nice and toasty in side, you should be able to turn ...
Everything that flip-side said was dead on the money when looking at a new '03. There were things that he said that I didn't even know to look for, then I went and looked and listened to everything! Along with everyone else, I also agree that 7k may be a little too high of a price for an '03. I have...
I know that there has already been a post about this, but i was wanting to know a few more specifics if anyone has any ideas! How hard were they to put on? What kind of struts go well with them? and lastly, how much were they with everything? Thanks for the help!
Love the manual and love the color. Vibe's and Matrix's are basically the same cars and i love that you came to GenVibe over the other forums. Welcome to GenVibe!
$280?!?!? I'm not sure where you have been looking, but i found mine on Amazon.com for $140. Here's the Link to it: http://www.amazon.com/69-1009TR-Typhoon-Air-Intake-Short/dp/B000C407TS/ref=sr_1_12?ie=UTF8&qid=1344351589&sr=8-12&keywords=k%26n+typhoon+cold+air+intake" onclick="...
I don't live in to "hilly" of an area, i just live in a flat Indiana town. It seems like it only happens when i go between 60-65 mph. But even today it did it again and every time i went to reset it it would kick on like normal, then right back off again til finally i just used the good ol...
I'm not sure if anyone else has had problems with this, but when i turn my cruise control on it will work for a while then you will see the "cruise" flash off then back on. Causing my cruise to "cancel" and i have to re do it. But lately its been happening more than normal. I'm n...
I figured it had been a while since i had updated what all i had been doing with my Vibe and i wanted to share my mods with you guys. Nothing big, just little things :D New Stereo http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d154/hhsswimmer9/radio.jpg Cold Air Intake (K&N Typhoon) http://i35.photobucket.co...
Check out the intake we've been talking about. I love it and i'm positive they have them. Check out the K&N website to check and see. I don't see why they wouldn't have one for an '07.
A suggestion i would try is a Cold Air Intake. It gives the engine a more deeper, throatier sound. And it gives you more benefits than just a better sound. It gives you anywhere between 2-3 mpg, and 10-11 more horsepower. It may vary with your 2010 GT because of the motor, but all-in-all it would be...
Thanks for all the help! That's exactly the info that i needed. It seemed like everyone i asked didn't know what i was talking about. So i figured i'd ask the people who know Vibe's best.
I just installed mine last Monday. Mine is the K&N Typhoon and i love it. In the box it show's a dyno-chart of the Toyota Matrixs' motor (which is basically the same motor.) on how much horsepower was gained and it gained between 10-11 Horsepower and it is a lot more responsive than before. As f...
I'm looking to get HID's for my 2003 Vibe GT and needing to know what sort of specs i should know. I'm not sure if i need 12V or what. I'm a pretty big newb when it comes to electronics and wiring. This is what i've found, 9003 12V 50/55W H1 HID Conversion Kit. Can someone confirm that this will wor...

Love the Vibe! I highly recommend the K&N Typhoon. I just got my hooked up last Monday and it changes the whole feel of the car. (In a good way) It gives a throaty sound, almost like you would when you get a muffler tip. And it gives you roughly a 10-11 HP with more responsiveness. Best of luck ...

The 03 automatic GT wasn't worth it. The drivetrain really sapped out the power. Which is why it was only offered for the 03- to the beginning of 04 model year. They are not completely worthless, but the negatives out way the positives. I also was under the impression that there were no automatic G...
Can we have another Indy meet? I missed the last one and i don't live far from there. I'd love to meet more people who love their vibes as much as i do!
LOVE what your doing to the car. it was kind've ironic, I was looking for new rims for my vibe yesterday and then when i stumbled upon the Koning rims that you have, i realized they were the exact ones i had had my eye on earlier that day! Good choice there. Also, just out of curiousity, how much HP...

tgferg67,I wasn't saying that the 6 speeds and later years didn't have any problems, i know they do. I was just saying that from experience from talking to many people and reading countless posts that the 5 speeds tend to have more problems. Any car you buy will have problems with it at some point i...
It all just depends on the year in which your base vibe is. 03-05 5 speeds had some serious tranny problems, but after that they've been really very solid. My '03 GT is the 6 speed and still has the original tranny (with no problems) and the original clutch. So overall i'd say i've had miraculous lu...
I have a 2003 Vibe GT and i love the fact that its a 6 speed manual. I would so much rather have a manual than an automatic because to me, its just that much more fun to drive! So now i want to know, what does my GenVibe Family prefer?!
