Yeah I figured as much. Probably won't tackle this one haha

Doug14

Mine made this sound once and a while for about a year then became more common. Just gave up one day and just made a clicking when turning the key. replaced with a re manufactured one.

Doug14

looks good! wish i had the old grill style

Doug14

I went to the scrapyard to find those plugs and a couple that were slightly larger in size. Grabbed a few extras off the donor vibe and the guy at the counter just said to pocket them.

Doug14

Right on! love those coilovers! how much work was the rear disc conversion?

Doug14

The regular cat or the pre-cat? I know that a lot of MRS/MR2 guys with the 1zz-fe empty out the pre-cat in the exhaust manifold/extractors. Reason being that the valve overlap used in these engines to pull exhaust gasses back into the combustion chamber to further burn any leftover junk, sometimes t...

Doug14

Just gonna go ahead and ask: was this vibe part of the PCM recall? It does funky things.

Doug14

[quote="zackkickit" Thanks for the info guys, I didn't know that the typhoon would be that much trouble. I mostly wanted it because it looked a little cooler. The cosmo intake says *Fits on 03-04 VVT-i engine ONLY; can not fit on 05+ models. will it still fit mine though? [/quote] I agree,...

Doug14

Well I, for one, am not quite sure what you are referring to.

Doug14

Im sorry man I dont really know much about this so I have now idea what your saying. I know in our age of faceless internet personas that it is sometimes hard to tell but lannvouivre is a girl. She is saying that although the typhoon will "fit" the vibe it is not ideal for your generation...

Doug14

Love finding out new things ! just be careful not to shut it too hard in cold weather

Doug14

Good How to! but im curious, have you tried resetting the TPMS in your summers? IIRC the 03-08 vibes dont use sensors in the wheels but rely on part of the ABS system. anyone with more info feel free to chime in.

Doug14

Hope the Scope works! Curious to find out

Doug14

Stuck with Toyota red/pink or whatever. It is what was in there at the beginning so i stayed.

Doug14

There are 2 different Throttle body spacers, I believe the one shown on the Poor Man's Guide is for the 03-05 with the original cable throttle body. There is one for the DBW ( 05-08) Vibes, but is trickier to find. The typhoon is for the 03-05 vibes if i recall. you will either have to fiddle around...

Doug14

Yay! Good find, looks clean! Welcome to genvibe

Doug14

Yes, she's a torie! She's probably our smartest cat, too. All our other cats are shorthairs: runty female silver tabby, 17-yr-old orange/white old man, and 1-yr-old orange/white girl. We don't have any dogs (yet). I'd like to get some chickens and goats, but alas, zoning :P And I'd really like some...

Also, love your kitty. I have one just like her

Thanks, me too! Awesome, is your cat a tortoiseshell? Ours is a torty-ragdoll and have 3 other cats and 2 dogs running around right now haha

Doug14

Interested in some of the pontiac/vibe badges and the rear oem floormats, and possibly the oem headlights. Can pick up local in the next few weeks.

Doug14

via con dios, vibe Sad times, Glad everyone is alright. Goodbye to one of my favourite vibes around. I installed a Progress rear sway bar the other day, love the way it feels. I took off the "Progress" sticker tho. http://i1289.photobucket.com/albums/b501/doug1491/108f09ad-c44e-418a-aed1-...

Doug14

Installed Progress rear sway bar and gave the vibe a nice clean and hit some light scratches with a clear-coat polish. Love the way the car feels with the beefier sway bar, I still need to have a front wheel bearing replaced and need new front struts, then I have a set of Tien H-techs I will put in!...

Doug14

Functional. Doesn't need to be pretty! Well done

Doug14

lookin good! painting the rails black is one of the best looking mods I've done too

Doug14

So i was working on getting switchback leds for my turn signals, had to switch pins to get the white to be the parking lights and the amber to be the turn signals. but I now realize that i would prefer the type 2 switchbacks(amber/off/amber/off) type one is (amber/white/amber/white) but overall a go...

Doug14

I also have the DBW on my vibe, but I don't find the throttle as in sensitive as some do. Mine is a 5 speed though and feels fairly responsive to me

Doug14

According to the NGK website part numbers, those particular plugs appear to be for the 2ZZ-GE engine (vibe gt) you will need the 1ZZ-FE plugs which are part # IFR5T-11 and stock # 4996 for the laser iriduim plugs or part # BKR5EIX-11 stock # 5464 for the iridium IX plugs. Hope this helps!

Doug14

NGK iridium or NGK laser iridium(i have these)

Doug14

Happy Birthday Genvibe! My favourite site and homepage

Doug14

I'm curious whether your NON canbus leds set off the dash lights before you updated the flasher. I have non canbus LED turn switchback signals that hyperflash but do not set off dash lights. I have not installed the flasher yet.

Doug14

I'd be interested to get their blueprints or schematics and just make it myself. Have access to machine shop with CNC and welding, BUT then still need to get my hands on the supercharger

Doug14

Yeah, I went back to the 80's on the bra. I just got tired of the rocks and bugs on the front. The logo, you could say that it is a mod that I created. I just got the sticker and put it on there. Oh sweet, I thought maybe they came like that but up here in Canada most people have their license plat...

Doug14

Lame, I have wanted to go to the meets but don't want to cross the border to do so, wish it was as relaxed as it used to be like 15-20 years ago, hassle now.

Doug14

Looks good! I'm not personally a fan of bras on cars and I've never seen this one with the vvti and the mesh over the grill, neat.

Doug14

Welcome! Great first car! Don't listen to people who make fun, you will end up with many compliments as well. Also great colour!

Doug14

Welcome! NIce GT!

Doug14

I have Sylvania zXe's in mine, I like the blue reflection they make on the headlight housing, and the light on the road is pretty white, but looking at them they still seem kind of yellow. Especially if my fogs are on which are 6000k LEDs that are tinted so are kinda white-blue/grey. Anyways those a...

Doug14

$1900 ebay or $2250 monkeywrenchracing. When talking engine replacement, I would drop the extra $350 for the quality and the backup of MWR. About the JDM issues, Salsa is right.

Doug14

Welcome! Post lots of pics of your vibe! I also wonder whether your HIDs have projectors or not. The picture you posted does not seem to show projectors.

Doug14

Glad you solved your problem!

Doug14

Doug14

My intake came with one, it was a bit long so I trimmed it

Doug14

Have snow? if snow gets packed in the rims around the rotors and calipers, some crunching noises can be heard.

Doug14

Was running hids and no fender liner...wiring corroded on the bulb (I should have taped it up or heat shrank the base of the bulb) So I swapped to LED's to try them out for my business (Kitchener HID - - find us on Facebook) Ah I see, fair enough. Got a flat the other day, screw in the sidewall of ...

How come no more HID fogs?

Neat, I like the suicide doors! Not sure how i feel about the front end though.

Doug14

Sounds good! and the headlights look awesome too
