Good luck with your mods and enjoy it!
Yes, those defective clutches just had a habit of wearing out every 50,000 miles or so. And you can gather how many I've replaced with the miles I have on it! But seriously, I attribute it to mostly driving in Houston city traffic every day. And the occasional power shift. The LX is currently sitting in my garage awaiting a replacement short block. Broke the crank about 3 years ago on it. And it needs another pesky defective clutch! But I really enjoy the manual transmission much better than anything I can afford with an automatic.davedyer wrote:trb wrote:Welcome, and that's a nice looking GT!

I see you had a 5.0 LX. I bought one in 88 with a 5 spd. Came from the factory with a defective clutch. Hard to drive that car straight on wet roads.
That blue Heron was shot in my backyard (The Chesapeake). I agree with the wheels as far as look and color. They are only 16's though. Perhaps I will stay with that size for a softer ride for now. I've always went with lower profile tires in the past. Anyone know what 17 inch OEM wheels are available in gunmetal?vibrologist wrote:Dave, those Prius wheels look mighty fine to me. your Vibe is grey, so the wheels will give it a stealthy look. Sublime!
Grey is a great base color for neon accent colors. So if you feel like adding a dash of color....it can make your car stand out. Dave, is that a blue heron flying about?
There was a recall for bad rivets on the drivers side door. It caused the window to tilt and jam, which did sometimes damage the guides. To be blunt, go to a gm dealer and have them take care of all the recalls. This obviously includes the airbag system recall. Thats a nice GT in great shape, congrats!davedyer wrote:Thanks folks for you kind replies. There are a few issues with the car but minor. The drivers door window run needs to be replaced.
Well, it is basically a Toyota afterall !davedyer wrote:or just use the Toyota caps.
