ALL RIGHT!!! We finally get to see what the "old man" (said tongue-in-cheek) around here looks like.I have to say Mike that I thought you would be much older.

Congrats to you and Gambit, Stephanie.Cute kitty. She reminds me a lot of the kitty I had growing up. Best cat ever, that one.

If it's like my Mazda, the manual states that you should only activate one switch at a time or you might overtax the circuit and blow the fuse.Common symptom.

WHOA!! That is some steep driveway you've got there Alicia... and in snow country too.I can see why you would worry.

Well, I don't know about most cars w/a std trans? I figure if they want the car bad enough they will take it anyway, perhaps destroy the tranny or clutch in the process, but what do they care?However, I too have owned nothing but std shift cars for the last 38yrs (3-sps, 4-sps & 5-sps) and have ...

Keep in mind also that a bad O2 sensor can cause the code as well as damage an otherwise serviceable cat. If the wrong readings are seen by the ECU it can cause the engine to run richer than it should which in turn causes the cat to work much harder to do its job. Then it overheats and literally bur...

I would have to classify them reverse-whitewalls since they begin at the tread not the wheel. Would you say those are narrow or WWW?? Heyyyy... don't pick on the guy.

I'm not a big fan of chrome either, but with the other chrome accents on the car I think these wheels compliment them very well!

No problem, Mike. Thanks for the reply.I'm only sorry I didn't think to look for a thread like this one sooner. DUH!!

What I'm curious about, especially with all the talk on here and FB about it, is that the "powers that be" (not the Moderator's but the owner/operators) 'round here haven't posted anything about these problems or why the site was down.*edit* I suppose it could have something to do with thi...

Mmmmm... no. Is it just that thread or are there others?I usually go through "active topics" or an e-mail notification to get where I'm going and so far this is the first weird thing I have seen.

06pvibe

Since I have several e-mail addresses that conflict using the same one I use multiple browsers for different things. Google Chrome which I'm quite happy with and IE... less so.But I always use IE for GenVibe and have had no problems... lother than the site being down all day Sunday.

2006 Base = 205/55HR-16.As I understand it, OEM speed ratings are not just about what max speed a tire can safely run at but about internal construction of the tire, such as: sidewall strength and reinforcements at the bead. Also what heat cycles a tire can tolerate to keep the tread from separating...

No problem here??

I wish I could answer your question, but I don't know for sure.Frankly, I usually worry more about upgrading the rear sway bar in any FWD car I have owned. That's what will help counteract the inherent understeer.In my Mazda3, for example, I have upgraded the rear bar from the OE 20mm bar twice whi...

06pvibe

I'll +1 that. In fact they look TONS better than our winter OR summer wheels (OE steelies.) And no, its NOT just you. Now you know why I call them The BadYear's. I'm surprised BadYear even still offers them? They must be stupid, and/or thick headed.I put DWS's on our Vibe less than a month after get...

06pvibe

Of course they are, but I'm not sure where the fuse might be. If I had to guess I would say inside the car in the fuse box there. Of course you might also be looking at a bad relay, and that (I would guess) is under the hood.

06pvibe

I personally do like the look, but as I'd said, found from experience that unless you have lots of bad weather and fog where you are that yellow fogs are distracting... at least to me.I did consider doing the yellow on my Mazda the first time and when the film was replaced last year (Texas sun damag...

06pvibe

Ah. We must be twins. I did the same today and have put it off for nearly 500 miles. 5w-30 Pennzoil Ultra Class full synth and a WIX filter. I also rotated the tire and re-aired them.

06pvibe

They look GREAT!!You should know not to leave the fog lights on for extended periods of time while sitting still, such as in a traffic jamb. The film will brown/burn. This happened to a friend in our Mazda club a few yrs ago. Just an FYI.

I used to road rally a Volvo sedan and while probably a bit of overkill ensued (re: I was over excited about it at the time,) and since we sometimes ran at night, I had three sets of additional "supplimental" lighting on the car... besides having a Euro H4 Cibie headlamp set up on it. All ...

I mean they claim that it is their own shifter/product, therefore someone had to contract it, engineer it, R&D it, produce, market and sell it, but they don't know anything about it? I'm sorry but I don't believe it for a second. Something, and I don't know what, but something is wrong here.The...

I got mine for about half of that. Many places offer them from sellers on eBay to amazon.com.Why not do one, then the other? It's usually better to do one mod at a time when possible. Then you would be able to better tell the difference between them so if something doesn't work out, you don't have ...

I did the bushings on our Vibe, and you're right! They're not very expensive or hard to do. I took the time to make sure everything was as clean and rust free as I could make it, and used silicone grease (waterproof) on everything that was not directly exposed. It took me a little while to figure it...

06pvibe

I would do it just to alleviate the plasticy feel of the OE shifter. The fact that the TWM replaces the whole base mount w/a sturdy metal piece must be a major improvement. The only problem is the cost. @ $300 it was a bit pricey, IMO, but then again you get what you pay for.If they discontinued it,...

06pvibe

What they said....A heat gun used carefully or even a hair dryer (which will take much more time,) are the best ways.You need to get down to the adhesive, through the foam in order for the Goo Gone to work. A finger, rubbed raw, is usually the best, if not most painful solution.

06pvibe

There's a BIG benefit to film. It's between 12 and 20 mils thick so it protects the lenses from stone chips and breakage too. It's around $20 to do the fogs alone... $60 for the headlamp and fogs. Well worth it, IMO. Cheap insurance.It's flexible and easy to install, especially the fog lights (10min...
