I had mine mounted on one of the ledges near the gauges and it worked OK. Then I moved it so it's up at the top of the A pillar where the plastic meets the fabric. It seems to work better, probably since there's fewer surfaces reflecting sound around it, Mine is wired up thru the A pillar, as well....

Compact crossovers bug me. Weee, it's a crossover, not a lame wagon or hatchback! But... Lower it and you get a hatchback. But then they narrow the rear roof to make it seem taller and cut down on its practicality and ruin the hatchback look. I'd much rather wait for the Scion IM. It's the Toyota A...

We opted out as such a lawsuit was a complete crock. I will not contribute to such a thing. It only lines the pockets of the lawyer groups involved. Not to mention, I believe the whole UA fiasco was just that a freakin' fiasco. Granted, $29 may be quite a bit comparatively, but that only proves my p...

Should be no issues with the battery itself but you're saying that one battery is actually larger. It would probably still fit fine. You could double check the measurements or just go for it as you could always return it if you can't fit the battery tie down or it's too big for the tray.

I've had good luck with the Kumhos. Good tire for the price. I've used summer and all seasons. Don't recall the models, though.

I'm gonna go ahead and assume it shouldn't rattle and that somewhere the exhaust is sitting super close to something it rattles off of - just enough so it doesn't do it all the time. Now, I had this issue after replacing my Supra's exhaust once. It was a custom cat back. I eventually had to adjust o...

ImUrOBGYN

Haha I actually find the driving position a bit high. However, I rather enjoy the super low position of my lowered Supra and think our RAV sits a bit high. Though, in the RAV, I find it more acceptable.

Tomato, tomato. (You say it the right way in your head!

)

Sounds a bit too risky. If they won't let you drive it, I'd say they're hiding a major problem. The most I'd bid on it is like $500. Passing on it simply because they won't let him test drive is a bit unfair given the it's an auction. No harm in him deciding what's it's worth to him given the possi...

Ha! Crazy.

I don't think these are the same hubcap covered wheels you may be thinking of. I believe these were an option on the Prius Touring. Not sure, though.

Wheels look great! Is it just me though or do they look extra small, i.e. even smaller then OEM Vibe 16" wheels, to anyone else? Yes....I noticed that as well but all in all the most important things for me were color and weight. Perhaps next year I'll move up to 17's if I can find a nice set ...

Wheels look great! Is it just me though or do they look extra small, i.e. even smaller then OEM Vibe 16" wheels, to anyone else? It's the wheel style. The spokes curve in at the edges giving them the appearance of looking smaller than what they really are. I've never liked that spoke style on ...

It it possible for you to snap a couple helpful pics? I don't have access at the moment to the vibe so I can look.

ImUrOBGYN

Welcome. Hit that lift! What are you waiting for?

ImUrOBGYN

Where are you located? I'm guessing Canada first since you stated mileage in KM.

ImUrOBGYN

As was mentioned, some codes do not show immediately. Or, it may've stored a temporary code that will probably clear itself later before showing as an engine light. You can always have autozone or one of those kinda stores check and clear any stored or present codes for free or you can disconnect th...

Great guide! Thanks for posting. I went ahead and ordered some LEDs for my '06 Vibe's interior this week and I just installed them yesterday. It looks like things are even easier for us these days because you can just buy an LED version of the bulbs straight-up. For my Moon & Tunes '06 Vibe, I ...

Hello and welcome. I live in Columbus, OH. Post some pics of said car. Some fyi, the 1zz came with the 5speed, I believe. Only the Vibe GT came with the 6speed which would mean it has the 2zz engine unless someone did some odd swapping. As far as the sound goes, here's hoping for a simple idler pull...

I think it would increase the suspension's articulation and actually induce a bit of oversteer.

ImUrOBGYN

No can do the 4th. Gf's parents are coming from Illinois to visit us in Ohio. Doh...

Have fun everyone!

ImUrOBGYN

Nevermind. lol

I was just about to post a link to the same thread. I recalled later after posting that the earlier ones are easier to replace the lights on but I still kinda feel the same way about it.

ImUrOBGYN

Looking forward to updates. Sorry to hear about the CNC mill.

If you run the factory amp (if yours is so equipped), you will need to buy a low line converter to install between the new stereo and the car's harness or you will get static from overpowering the factory amp. If you have it installed, there's a good chance the installers may miss this, as well. Fun...

ImUrOBGYN

Same thing happened to my radio. Eventually, the whole display went dark. I asked the same question and was told there is nothing you can do except replace the radio. Ditto. Perhaps, you could pull apart the stereo. Perchance, you could find the right display, and just maybe you could solder the wh...

ImUrOBGYN

Yes, do them. Trust me, they'll need it. You definitely want to replace the front strut top mounts as they are integral to the alignment and probably need replacing at this point, too. Once you get a new pair/remove your old ones, you'll probably understand what I mean. There's more there than just ...

ImUrOBGYN

Hmm, I wonder what glossy gray panels would like like on a white Vibe as opposed to the flat gray ones. I have a GT but with the gray unpainted exterior plastics.

ImUrOBGYN

Gonna just hang out here for awhile...

Previous owner(s) tried to shut the hood with the prop still installed so the hood has a raise in the middle/passenger side. I've thought about pulling it off and seeing what I can do in the future unless I find a new hood, as well.

ImUrOBGYN

I'm in for St. Louis if only because I would visit my daughter while I was there. :D Other than that, I'd go for Pontiac, MI or Erie, PA since they're only just under 4hrs from me. My only reasons are distance/time. No offense to anyone, but I can't fathom driving any further to a meet for my daily ...

ImUrOBGYN

That definitely needs to come off without damaging the post and threads it is on. Spray the hell out of it with a good penetrant, smack it around a bit, let it sit for a good few minutes, heat it all up real good, let it cool a bit, spray it down again, smack it a bit to help penetrant penetrate aga...

You'd probably be more limited by your tires and how steep the incline begins. Have you measured the incline you've been driving on? Plenty of phone apps that contain inclinometers... You could probably find a cheap inclinometer as well. Once you know the incline degrees, you could always compare it...

ImUrOBGYN

What was your reason for switching? Too bouncy or stiff? Drop too low?

ImUrOBGYN

They are a bit pinkish, aren't they? haha I'll try to get some better pics up and some pics of the Supra when I have a bit more time.

ImUrOBGYN

Welcome. That's some low milage.

ImUrOBGYN

Hello. Do you have any of the cargo stuff still? Like the netting or slide locks? Any other optional equipment not available on the base model GT? What stereo/headunit do you have, also?

Thanks!

Hello everyone. I live in Delaware, OH and I'm a new owner of a 2003 Vibe GT as of a couple weeks ago. Bought it for a great price as a spirited and utilitarian daily. We also own a 2010 Toyota RAV4 V6 4x4 and an 89 Toyota Supra Turbo, decently modded. I've already cleaned it up, changed the plugs, ...
