hi everybody!!!

[jschorr]

hello,
i am the confused new owner of a 2003 vibe gt with 141k . it's red and funny looking and goes voom, not voom voom, just voom. throwing a p1693 code at me right now. i have been wanting a vvtl-i since i learned about them through my research on my last car (87 supra).

so far i like the the motor, even with the problems that i will be starting a thread about in another section, think it shifts like a old tractor, and find the handling surprisingly good. the features are great, esp the cup holders. my first car with cup holders in years.

i bought it in ohio but it lived it's life in my home town of pittsburgh. weird to drive 2 hours to buy a car that used to be right down the road from me.

i have been building cars and bikes since i was 13, 25 years....dam im old, and get a chubby when i think of toyota motors.

well good meeting you all, thanks for letting me pick your minds.

Hi and welcome to GenVibe!

I grew up in Butler, so we were practically neighbors.

Before I found my 04 base I test drove an 03 GT, but I quickly realized that I would be defeating the purpose of buying a small car in the first place. No way could I keep my right foot from having fun in that sucker. Have fun!

your not kidding there!!!

i am keeping it below 6000 because of the ce light. when i made that decision i thought no problem, why would i run above 6000?

but here it is after 2 days driving i think 3000 as almost idle and cruise at around 4000.

we'll see how this goes with mpg.....last car was getting an average of 15 so anything will be better

i got it for a song and a bj

only 3k out the door.

i am a bit worried because he was selling it for about 1000 less than the base vibes go for around here. time will tell.

as for pics, that will come this weekend. i work to much, or the sun isnt out long enough, not sure wich

edit*
nice collection in your sig.

Check your rocker shafts and make sure both have caps on them.
