Cake!!!!!!!

star_deceiver

Have it inspected every 50000 miles. Honda valves were always easy to adjust as the rocker arm had a simple bolt and nut adjuster.... not too sure about the new Hondas.

star_deceiver

Double check to make sure none of the heat shields on the exhaust system have come loose. It might just be a loose bolt on one under the car.

Been a while Grizz. What's new out east?

star_deceiver

I had a coupon...

$1.149/L

MorbidAngel, we need a challenge!

Redline MT-90

Here's the how-to for the 1.8

Moving off the island? If your heading out east be sure you go far enough north so you can enjoy winter!

It has cost me $10000 to drive 38000 miles... https://www.fuelly.com/car/chevrolet/si ... ver/168429" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Mind you... I'm only paying $4.75/gal in Calgary...

Top Gear! Years and years later, it's still an awesome show!

Spider crawling on you while driving or Bee flying around in the car?

Yes indeed! The next road trip is already in the works.

This forum is still the best one I've been a part of... And why I keep coming back. I keep hoping to see my old Vibe driving around, one day...

star_deceiver

Welcome back!

star_deceiver

NGK spark plugs will do you well.

As for those plastic clips, take them into your local Toyota dealer. They'll be much cheaper there than buying them from GM.

star_deceiver

$1.209/L... And it didn't jump for the long weekend!

star_deceiver

Very nice! And I see that you didn't exaggerate when you said "hill"!

star_deceiver

That's really low mileage for a 4 year old car! How low did you bargain them down?

star_deceiver

Here's the challenge, fairly simple: Your vehicle and the landmark for which your city is known.

Here's the Calgary tower and Saddledome.

I accept your authority in this thread and will go out today and find something suitable to post... Unless someone beats me to it!

I used 0w20 for winters and 5w20 for summers for the time I owned my Vibe.

star_deceiver

The Vibes transmission is not the correct application for a GL5 lubricant. Your transmission does not have the sliding friction that would necessitate the use of EP additives or any of the other friction modifiers inherent in a GL5 gear oil. If you do enough research you will soon find the various t...

star_deceiver

Don't use a GL5 fluid. You will only see worse shifting. I tried a GL5 fluid when I had the Vibe... Within 10 minutes I couldn't shift into second or third without double-clutching. That got drained out right quick. Went with Redline MT90 and never again had any issues even down past -40C! Buy a goo...

star_deceiver

There are places in the US where it is more cost effective to run E85, even with the poor mileage. For the big GM Trucks and SUV's it becomes more cost effective when E85 is about 30% cheaper than regular gas. I'd test this out myself but there are only 2 E85 stations in all of Canada.... Both somew...

Snow buildup around guardrails provides a nice launching platform! There's usually a couple of accidents like this around here every year where someone catapaults themselves over a barrier or cable... At least they landed on a service road and not oncoming freeway traffic!

star_deceiver

1) Not quite... the rear cargo area of the nox doesn't fold flat and even with the rear seats pushed forward doesn't have the length capability of the Vibe. Also, I'm not convinced that they haven't got all the nasty bugs out of the 4cyl model. 6cyl models cost more than my Silverado, too. 2) You pa...

When it was time to change, I decided that I wanted something completely different.... So I got something completely different!

....well almost... It's still Red!

star_deceiver

I remember my '76 Datusn pickup... There was nothing really notable about it apart from the imaginary brakes... it did start every time, though, and would not die no matter how low the oil got. Paid $400 for it... put 40000kms on it... sold it for $400.

I ran both my satellite radio and radar detector plugged into a splitter for years. Never an issue.

star_deceiver

It was -29C yesterday and above zero today... Tomorrow will probably be t-shirt weather!

star_deceiver

Tied... with 1 day left!

star_deceiver

Plugs are fine for another 65000 miles. You don't have a distributor or spark plug wires. Antifreeze should be changed now as it's been 5 years. Air filter and cabin air filter are easy diy items that take 5 minutes. Maybe fun a small bottle of fuel injector cleaner through your next tank of gas. Is...

Well, I set the timer on the poll for 9 days. So sometime on the 24th the poll should close itself.

I know from past votes that there are many who like to wait until the last minute so they can have the deciding vote, so don't wait too long!

star_deceiver

Who's it going to be: Nick (KITT222) or Carrie (vibenvy)?

star_deceiver

KITT222 and Vibenvy so far.

If anyone has another nomination, get it in before the end of the day.

star_deceiver

Any other nominations? Last call.

star_deceiver

Been hovering around $1.089/L since the beginning of the month.

Mileage in the truck from the past year, since I traded the Vibe: Avg 16.2mpg over 23660miles worth a total cost of $5779. Not bad considering my leadfoot.... Especially in winter :mrgreen: http://www.fuelly.com/driver/stardeceiver/silverado-1500" onclick="window.open(this.href);return fal...

Welcome to the 5000 club!

Looks good to me!

First nomination, from Facebook: KITT222

That time of year again! Time to recognize your fellow GenVibe members! Who's made a difference... who's helped you out... who stands out, nominate them here or on the Facebook group! KITT222 was last years winner. The nominations will be open until the 15th of December and Voting will be from the 1...

Hankook Ventus V4. You will have a very very hard time getting these tires to hydroplane!

star_deceiver

Well... XXR520, 17's. Tires are 205/50/17

star_deceiver

You would eat the cake yourself, maybe share with friends. Just because one cannot digest cake properly doesn't mean all shall suffer.

star_deceiver

They're coming out of the woodwork today!

star_deceiver

Your thermostat is stuck open. Drain the coolant, replace the thermostat, refill. The thermostat should be in the block, right where the lower rad hose connects.
