WOW...I've been on the forums since June, but I guess I overlooked this thread, and interestingly enough, my point seems to have been the catalyst for the larger discussion here, I just now read it, and I'm very intrigued by these viewpoints.

audiovibe...do you think they would sound decent? (not being in a box, etc) Perhaps rattle the panels off the car...not to mention I think it would result in that horrible exterior sound of vibrating panels.

Yes Zuben, you are correct, Lake Travis, and it's created with a dam from the Col. river, precisely. I was there a couple years ago with high waters and it engulfed the parking lot. And a nearby house.

Vibration noise in dash?

Ever since I've had this vehicle there's a constant noise from the passenger front near the airbag that makes a creaking noise over any bump at virtually all speeds, and ideas how to quell this?

I concur with the previous post on both items, 38 psi is high...but the rims look bad (removed) and go very well with the Vibe imo.

The owner prior to me had a "pump through" done on the transmission fluid and put in synthetic Amsoil brand.... Is this the same thing as a 'flush'? And, is it easy to change the oil?

Does someone know how this is all connected? Does it need to be the entire steering column that's replaced?Also, does anyone know where I would procure an oem leather steering wheel/auto shifter? I checked out a salvage link I found onf the forum but doesn't seem to have what I need.

I've come across people/studies that talk about the K&N filters letting much more particulate into your engine, given the minimal cost benefit over a long period of time I wouldn't take the risk...My last 3 cars I put the K&N filter in, never noticed a difference..

Steering Wheel / Auto Gear Shifter

I have an '04 Vibe, my gf has a '05 Corolla, I would like to find the leather wrapped steering wheel and gear shifter of her car somewhere to put in mine. Is it a big deal to swap the steering wheels?
