The other thing to remember is after 100+ the Speedo is not very accurate. I know a few have tested it againts various GPS's and such. Something about the Vibe had a spring loaded speedo, instead of computer controlled..... I could be wrong on that part, but I know it was said that after 100 they be...

Now that is funny,

I still say you are going to be drag limited more than anything.... you can get a supercharger, or other form of power booster, but as was stated, these cars were just not meant for a top speed of any kind.HOWEVER, the governor on most modern cars is all computer and can be reprogrammed. It's not li...

Alot of Vibes had this problem, but they were mostly covered under warranty. I got mine done at about 26000 miles, and 2 years old. It started making that pop noise when I rolled it up. I was worried it was going to explode one day...... but they fixed it and said that it was a pretty common problem.

Vibr8tr

Mine did that...... I found a great fix though..... traded for my Camaro. LOL. I found a dealership that offered me what I owed on the Vibe, and they had a Camaro sitting there, and I said.... Well.... it's at least still a GM.As long as the body is in good shape they are worth the new engine. They ...

As I recall (at least on my 2004), the gov. was set at some rediculous high number like 130, or 125..... I tried a few times, and I never once hit it. The vibe is drag limited to 118 I believe, I will have to look it up to verify. I know at 110-115 it pretty much quits accellerating, and you would n...

Vibr8tr

I think I have the headrest to my 2004 vibe still laying around here somewhere. I will look tonight. If I find them, I don't need them any more and could let you have them

That is sad. I brew at home all the time now, and love it. It is sad that home brewers get targeted like that.

Vibr8tr

Thank you thank you. You are right V, it needs alot of love. The interior is horrible, and the T-tops do leak, but I am working on it. The main thing is it runs, and it's what I want.

Vibr8tr

It should.... The way it works is it isn't actually looking for the CD player any more, it is tricking the stereo into thinking there is an EXTERNAL disk tray, and playing from that.... that is why your display will show something like "Tr 03".....However, since I only had the 1CD changer,...

Vibr8tr

That is 100% correct. I had one in mine. It was EASY to install (took me about a half an hour, I did it AT work in the parking lot at lunch). Sounded great, and worked great. You just hit the button for CD/AUX. It will act liek it's playing a CD (it shows a CD symble, and I believe it shows a random...

That sounds more like a fan issue than a problem with the Recirc door.I remember when mine did that, and it always does it when you need it, lol. Mine wouldn't defrost the windows (since the intake to the recirc is the vent that defrosts). So I had to struggle through with foggy windows for a few mo...

Vibr8tr

I would say at this point your best bet is some trial and error. Get some paint, and try to see if you can salvage them..... worst case, it dosn't work, and you pay $40 and have a basically new stereo, and learned something new.That's the fun part about owning a car, never be scared to try something...

Vibr8tr

I am curious on the interior, and engine. That is where they are going to try and "sell" it. I am sure they will try and cram some V-6 or beefed up 4 Cyl in there. Be pushing some rediculous 250 HP or something.....

Vibr8tr

And this is my 2002.... with my dad's 01 Firebird..... both are only V-6's, but she is my Daily Driver, and still has some get up and go..... just not ALOT of it, lol.

This is my 91 Z28..... It has the 350..... not in the best shape, but I love that body style, and I love that engine.... so I took a hit on condition for the combination of what it has.

Awwww..... thanks, lol. I will post some up tonight when I get home. I have to admit, I miss the days of having my vibe..... esspecially when I need the cargo room (come to find out Camaro's don't have cargo room).

Vibr8tr

Hey all.... wow has it been a while since I have been on here. I miss you guys. How has everything been? As for me, still in NC, I believe I posted on here when my Vibe did die last year. It was traded in for a 2002 Camaro. Just recently I picked up another Camaro but this one is the 91 Z28. My hope...

I like that joke....How would you compare Fedora to Ubuntu? I am getting into Unix and Linux, and trying to find what's best for me to learn with. Every one I work with loves Ubuntu and uses VMworkstation to run any Windows applications at home that it won't run.

I am so happy for tonight. It's about 65 right now, should be in the low 50's for tonight, and I will be taking the new Camaro up to the track to see what she can do. YAY

I admit, it can be some work. We have 4-5 virtual servers running, but none are true production. I am schedualled to go to a boot camp for it, and get the actual VMCP cert. It is some neat software, and I am shocked that it took this long before it started to become so popular with businesses.

So instead of waiting to throw a rod while still owing $5k on it... it got traded in.... the dealer ...

Vibr8tr

Mine started doing this a few weeks ago also. As of right now I havent done anything about it, but I can't use the defrost. I will probably get a new motor soon. Do you happen to have the part number or anything from the dealer? Maybe we can find a cheap one online or even at a junk yard.

Vibr8tr

What would you gain by blocking it, wouldn't that risk hurting the car? Maybe I just don't understand what you guys are thinking of doing, but it sounds dangerous to me. Any part of ym engine that is suppost to be breathing, I would want to leave that way. But I am wrong alot
