McVibe

I just got the kit in and I'll only have to drill a 20 and an 8 mm hole in the fender. It's a shame but I can't get the lighting on the marker exactly the way I want it. I WAS originally going to have the side marker light up whilst the driving lights were on and blink when the turn signals were act...

Yea I came to this conclusion earlier. I was going to install today at my friend's garage, but got too distracted with the Wii Hopefully I'll get this installed before this weekend is over though.

McVibe

Okay so I'm installing some sidemarkers on my Vibe today and I could really use the Service Manual page (if it exists) on how to remove the front quarter panels on the Vibe. I would be eternally greatful to the GenVibe Gods The Panel I need removed (With Photoshopped Side Marker Location) Attached f...

Quote, originally posted by damronjr Â»Mine broke off in a car wash, so I know, it sucks! You do have to remove the headliner to get to it, then unscrew it from the inside, and you can just solder the wire back to the base, I just stripped mine a little and it was enough that it touches the base so ...

McVibe

haha it's funny because I was just looking at that.

Okay so in February we had a horrid snow/ice storm. Probably 3-4 inches of snow topped with around 1/2 inch of ice. It shut down college for a while and caused general mayhem amongst drivers who generally had no idea what they were doing (many accidents).So I had to go to work one day during this st...

McVibe

Okay so I was thinking what I could do with the Vibe's exhaust.Some ideas came to mind and I could use some opinions.1. Dual exhaust (left and right)2. Dual exhaust (Both in center as seen on mini cooper S)3. Dual exhaust (Coming out on sides before rear wheel)4. Dual exhaust (vertical in center as ...

McVibe

oh wow Raivis those are sharp lookin, I really like the chrome around em. EDIT: I went out to try to figgure out how to get to my quarter panel the best way. I determined that removing the entire quarter panel would be the best way to install the side markers. Only one problem though, I have no idea...

McVibe

Wow, it's been nearly a year since I've posted on here which makes me quite sad BUTI did get back into modding my Vibe.I just ordered some Eurolite clear LED side markers for the ol' Vibe. I'm goin for that Voltz look I'll be sure to post pics as soon as the install takes place. Hopefully this weeke...

McVibe

Sorry meistees I'm not sure of the model # all I know is it is a Schoche and I bought it from wal-mart but I have seen some other threads with the model number in them. And Jahntassa you were right, I re-installed the LOC and it works fine, but in case another problem regarding it pops-up I relocate...

McVibe

Yea they are working but I left the settings on the amp and xover the same. but I looked up my HU and fount that it isn't a pre-amp out that I have tapped into, just a line out so I guess that may have something to do with it?

McVibe

Okay well I stopped the white noise coming out of my HU with a schoche Line Level Converter and it worked famously. But a new dilemma has arose out of this. I yanked out my LOC for my subs on accident from the speaker wire and I just figgured I'll slap those RCAs right into the RCA outputs on the ba...

McVibe

okay this may have been said somewhere but what exactly is a Line-Level Converter? Does it control the amplifiers? and if I get one do I still need to bypass the stock amp?

McVibe

Okay so get this: I've had my JVC HU for like 10 months now and i've always had some white noise in the background from the double amplification thanks to the stock M&T amp. But Recently there is a horrid static noise coming from the speakers whenever I hit the dash board, start the car, hit a p...

McVibe

Nah, I'm taking the brunt of this one, insurance will skyrocket if I report it. The state trooper told me he couldn't even write a report because the damage was so small and I should pay for it myself. And I really don't have enough money to put snow tires on the Vibe, we dont get that much snow aro...

McVibe

Yea I realize after the fact that I should have changed tires before winter but I'll put the stock ones back on and then I'll have new rubber by summer.I feel kinda dumb

McVibe

Well yesterday we had quite a snowstorm and I was driving along rte 11 here in Shenandoah country Va. I was driving up to Front Royal VA to look at a 3 wheeler I had aspirations of purchasing. I was going around a slight turn and there was someone going like 35 in the slow lane, so i got over to pas...

McVibe

So I attempted to put the switch in today with little success. I found the red wire that controled the low beams and discovered that the red and yellow wire was not the high beams but rather the fog lights. I then proceeded to test every wire in the connector to the original high beam switch and non...

McVibe

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...ZWDVWI think we have a winner! Big and ugly but then again it is meant to stomp on, not be pretty.I can always paint it too

McVibe

So I'm probably going to attempt this install this week sometime so just to 'review' I guess I'll splice the red wire and the red/yellow wire and run some more wire down under my dead pedal and goto AutoZone or something and grab a dual pole dual throw button and see how it goes. Wish me luck!Oh yea...

McVibe

Oh man! I have this exact HU! I LOVE IT! Best mod I've done to my car, Hands Down! You're right the Giga MP3 is awesome I just wish it'd play dual layer MP3 DVDs 30,000 songs on my Computer 1100 is good enough I suppose

McVibe

Well my dad recently bought a Buick Rendezvous and he's not too pleased with it (he finally realized it was ugly). So he went to the car dealership to browse around and he saw a new Torrent and likes it a lot. This Torrent we saw was different than all others in the fact that it was the first one ma...

McVibe

Okay so I do a whole lot of backroad driving here in Va and I was wondering how one might go about installing a Highbeam switch on the floorboard like on the dead pedal. I've always liked the cars that had those and I think it is a great idea, especially because it seems whenever I confront another ...

McVibe

Yea I'm still deciding 100% if I want to tackle an engineering degree or not. My brother down at Duke is doing Bio-med engineering and he says any engineering degree is a lot of work. So I may down-size to Computer Science just to be on the safe side.

McVibe

Well Well Well It seems I'm going to college soon. I was just accepted to the University of Kentucky and will start attending in August of this year. I can't wait to go! Let me know if there are any Vibers around that area Also I may be able to attend some rallys now that I'm a little closer to Mich...

McVibe

Oh man I havn't been on in a while but anywho here is a picture of me and my signifficant other.It's a great relationship, I'm 6'3" 180lbs and she's 5'2" 98lbs. I enjoy it.

http://www.gs-screens.com/home.html I got my LCD from there, really great, high quality, great price. Plus it's an individual, not a company so you get personal service. Also you get a $10 rebate if you e-mail him a pic of the screen installed.

McVibe

I guess a dark or light gray would have probably worked better... Maybe I'll look into that...

McVibe

and the HU...

McVibe

So anyway, since school started up I havn't been on so much and I've had no time for Vibe projects, but now, I've finally finished installing my New JVC Headunit my 2 Subs, and a rocking LCD. The Subs look awesome with the fusion on the Vibe and The HU is absolutely beautiful! The Hu plays DVDs and ...

McVibe

So yea, sound is coming thru the speakers now but I have found another problem...There is a noticable hiss coming out of the tweeters that wasn't there before. I tryed messing with the equalizer but the hiss was still there. And it's not engine noise either, as I played the CD player when the key wa...

McVibe

Works great! Thanks a load!!!

McVibe

I just got a really nice HU from JVC and installed it but when I did, the only music I could hear was out of the Subs in the back. This is obviously some problem because of the Moons and Tunes set-up but I don't really know for sure. Can someone tell me what I need to do to make this work? You know,...

McVibe

http://www.gs-screens.com Thats where I got mine, it's owned by an individual who is very nice. I got a 7" Sharp LCD from him for $160.

McVibe

Okay, I had a good Idea. Is it possible to make the reverse lights light up when you press the lock/unlock button on the remote? I'm not sure if it is or not...It would be hella-tight if it would work.

McVibe

Since I'm a high school student, I dont have much to give, but I did give $10 to the Red Cross. And in my creative Writing Class, we wrote letters to pin pals in the Astro Dome. That made me feel warm and fuzzy

McVibe

It probably plugs into a 240v dryer outlet it's so rugged. Now if it was reallt rugged, they should avertise a Hummer running it over, that might convince me more. But for now, I'm sticking with my Alienware Laptop and my self-built Desktop. Although a Hummer desktop may be kinda cool...

YES! A gamer thread !!! I am actually an avid gamer and I have been ever since the great old Nintendo! I've had all sorts of consoles and whatnot, but what I find is the best is good old PC gaming.

I'm a fan of Aluminum rims, beacuse I don't like chrome but still like the shiney But seriously, I like the gunmetal look and they would look great on DaVibe My ADR GT Sports look kickin, especially with the roof rack, it almost matches perfectly.

McVibe

I was looking into rear disc conversion, does anyone know how much it would cost? I'd assume it would be very expensive, considering you have to run all of the lines and stuff for the calipers.
