That is expensive. Why not bring your own oil and filter and get a shop to change it. Usually 10-15 bucks labor.

petervivian

Just an update. Both wheels on driver side are slightly scratched by the track during an automatic car wash.

petervivian

Yes, search craigslist and ebay local (sort nearest first), you will be able to get a set of scion tc wheels for a little more than one hundred, depends on the wheels condition.

Thanks guys. I have installed the new wheels. They look really nice on the vibe.

petervivian

Are they too wide for the stock suspensions?

petervivian

Will these sizes of wheels and tires fit my 05 vibe? Thanks. Wheels: TSW Nurburgring, Gunmetal Machined Face, 17X8 5-100 35GMF, Bolt Pattern 5-100. Tires: Falken Ziex ZE-912, 225/45R-17 94W XL B[Edited] New wheels and tires already installed.

I only got a psp, Gran Turismo on this small game console has not so much fun (real). I don't have much time for the better PS3 games either. Wish I could be 10 years younger.

petervivian

Or maybe Voltz since it's a right-hand steering version.

Just found a gameplay video of the long awaited Gran Turismo 5. Interestingly, there is a two-tone vibe in fusion? color, with stock aluminium wheels. Here's the video...Edit: the original user deleted the video already.

I once planed to do a similar project for my vibe. But after considerable research, I dropped the project. Because besides the main alarm system, I still need to buy sensors, modules, backup battery, etc. to make the alarm system more practical. And if I made a mistake during the project and can not...

petervivian

I just did a swap of the liftgate on my 05 frosty too. Lucky I've found the gate from a totaled 08 white vibe and don't have to do the paint job.

petervivian

Advance_auto_parts has these Alpena FlexLED for $20http://shop.advanceautoparts.c...4____There's a battery and a switch in the package, so you can actually try and turn on these LEDs. There are also online coupons which cut the price by 40%.

petervivian

Wait, isn't the TC wheels 17"? I think these 16" scion wheels are steel.

petervivian

Just received the notice letter today. Wonder which dealer is going to fix the problem in my area.

petervivian

A car alarm hood pin switch? Maybe the first owner removed the main alarm system but forgot the switch and wire in the hood.

petervivian

Replacing the cabin air filter gives fresher and more air flow Your car looks very clean inside and out. Nice OEM wheels, leather seats, moon and tunes. How much you pay for the car?

petervivian

Some members from MO provided a solution: I use the apple steel pin to pry the plastic clips inside the harness, then I am able to remove the wires from the harness. So if I can not find a new one, at lease I can head down to the junkyard and cut an used one, then remove its wires one by one. Attach...

petervivian

Thanks. I once thought of cut the harness and solder the eight wires, but instead I believe I can do a neat job with the help from you guys

petervivian

It is a 10-pin harness.

Anyone knows the part number of the following harness please?This is a 10-pin harness, and there are quite a few of them in our vibes, though they may be in different colors. In my car, the male one of this harness is broken. It is located at rear of the car (driver side) and goes to the lift gate. ...

Donâ€™t always believe what sales person says. A few tend to lie to get you buy a car. Try to obtain some written documents than oral guarantee. You can leave a review for this dealer on Google map, so people will see it when they search for this location. Or at least you can just tell me which deal...

petervivian

Personally, I think this bar design makes it much more dangerous when the car is involved in a front impact. Most likely, the two bars alongside the car will be pushed toward the firewall and penetrate the firewall.

I remember there's a video which shows how to paint panels and fabric seats by official Duplicolor. OK, here's link to the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SRdlQkg3NOg

Here's a photo I took last year. These two white vibe belong to a Advance Auto Parts shop nearby. The manage always turns down coupons and not welcome in store pickup (they say the money goes to the company, they got nothing). So I don't go there anymore. My neighbor's vibe and mine. In front of Cos...

petervivian

The vibe you found has several previous owners, but no AutoCheck or Carfax history? I've never seen this for a 2006 car. At least the Registration and renew information should show up in the history. I input the VIN to AutoCheck, and it showed the number is invalid.

petervivian

Amazing, you hand washed, detailed and waxed the car in four hours. Hand polish the hood, 4 doors on the vibe took me more than four hours already.

petervivian

Sorry to hear about the accident. Hope you find a new ride very soon. What color is your vibe? Is the lift gate damaged?

petervivian

I live in Miami too, and I have a 05 vibe with 141k miles.

petervivian

There is another silver one for 299, but my vibe is frosty (white) http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...t_939

I had the same experience on Christmas eve when I backed into a pickup's chrome rear bumper. The paint is untouched. But I'm unable to lock the lift gate and the lift glass at the same time. I guess the deformation on the door makes the lock sensor working improperly. I checked gmpartsdirect.com you...

petervivian

It really depends on what kind of applications you normally use. Bear in mind that the software you have bought for a windows OS can not run on a Mac OS. I believe you are talking about laptops (XPS can be a laptop or desktop, but macbook is certainly a laptop). I suggest spend around one thousand d...

Hi, all. I have been looking for a cargo cover since I got my 1st generation vibe. I usually leave some staff on the vehicle overnight, so a disguise cover will be helpful. Also a cargo cover can reduce the volume of air that the A/C needs to cool down. The cabin may cool down faster during short tr...

Great work. At this time of year, it's almost raining everyday in Miami. Wish there will be a sunny weekend soon for the clean and wax.

When I sit properly, I feel my arms are too short

There is an Advance Auto Parts store near my house. They just bought two new Vibe in white color. The salesman said these cars are gas saver, very spacious for moving staffs around and delivery. But I guess their old pickups should do these jobs better except for the gas. Here's a picture: Attached ...

petervivian

Thank you for the answers. I live in Miami, and I've noticed that the CD kept in the player gets very hot. They also get scratched even I change them very carefully. So usually I make a copy for using in the car.
