I cant have another mustang as a daily, snows too much here

Perks of working for Ford

Ford Focus ST?

We'll I do work at Ford now

Losthookah

You would get a supercharger from TRD that would fit, but its much better to go a turbocharging route since they arent factory charged. GM also makes "aftermarket" superchargers but I am not 100% on if they have one for the 1.8 Yota engines

Losthookah

Back when I was thinking of doing mine on my '10 GT the fronts were $55 from autozone. If I were you I would replace them and not turn any of the rotors as they make factory rotors pretty thin to begin with. But thats just a mechanics 2 cents

I need to go drive a slew of the little cars to see how they perform. Will wait until nicer weather sets up. Alphabetically... the Cruze, Fiesta, Focus and Sonic, to start. Might try out the Vibe Clone, Ford C-Max. That particular one is too expensive and heavy, but I want to see what an updated hy...

I still have it, awaiting the insurance call. But mom will be taking her off my hands so I will still have access to it. I am upgrading to another hatchback though ;) Well, glad to hear it's staying in the family. The suspense on what your new vehicle is is killing me :P! I should be able to post p...

Well just thought I'd come back since it's been a few months. I finally finished my schooling and got a new job that has been pretty time consuming so that is why i have been gone. In the past few months ive learned alot. It has come time for me to part with my Vibe although it will stay in the fami...

I wouldnt suggest a full flush and fill on the tranny. Especially if it hasnt been touched since you bought it. Just check the fluid level and add as needed. If you flush and fill any slippage that is prevented by debris will come into play with a flush and could actually damage said transmission

Losthookah

not a bad idea to pull the engine apart if youre taking it out anyway. you can grab a rebuild kit for under 500 which will include almost everything including pistons. If it died due to overheating most likely the gaskets and rings are shot and possibly the bearings. http://www.apmengineparts.com/.....

Thanks for the info tpollauf, but knowing that this happened to someone else just adds to my worries. Today I took the wheel to school and we dismounted it from the rim and discovered that they arent made all that well, and after taking hours scouring the area that it blew out and finding no pothole...

Losthookah

Had an accident about 3 days ago now which has totally changed the future of my ride. GM wants $600 PER wheel for new rims and seeing as this one is toast and another got a small bend, I think its time for some new rims

Losthookah

So I havent been on in a while due to work and school, and during my time away I had a little accident. So i now have 2 rims in great condition, one with a very minor bend (no noticable leak) and one that is 150% eFFed.Also if someone could let me know for 100% what the lug pattern and offset are so...

Losthookah

Use a screw driver to poke a hole big enough to push the LED throughThen run the wires to you desired location I did mine right above the gauge clusterAdd you switch and wire it's power to the cig lighter and your good to go

Losthookah

sorry havent been on in awhile Kitt but ill take some pics of the setup got everything I needed at Pepboys costs around $20 depending on the switch you get. Should only take you about 20-30 minutes to install

It's an experiment!I would suggest you go back to regular, using a higher octane gas than what the engine is designed to use can damage the engine and it doesn't improve gas mileage:...

"There are 1 2010 PONTIAC VIBE FWD 'GT' vehicles (0.141%) matching your exact options list. There are 1 (0.141%) with at least as many options"wow fun little VIN search http://www.compnine.com/vid.ph...05261

Losthookah

damn Ive got the 10 GT and I get "girl car" and "GGG"(grocery go getter) but I like it so i dont mind

Losthookah

im 6'4 with seat all the up and its mid sliding position i fit fine but yes i have the slushbox

Losthookah

leds are better but i already had the neons so cost is my factor

Losthookah

yes cool in the 90s but isnt that what customization is about? being different than everyone else. lol hello thats why we have vibes. anyway the sides are 48" and front and rear are 36" i think i do like the bracket idea not to fond of cutting up my car

Losthookah

i do but apparently theres no hitch for to 10 GT that doesnt involve cutting the bumper

Losthookah

I have my neon tubes but not quite sure where to mount the back one due to the muffler. Has anyone done this?

Losthookah

not if using the right paint

Losthookah

Just added LEDs in the vents like I had in my 03 will edit picture in once its dark.

Losthookah

I'd say sand the cladding so it isn't rough I had planned on doing that on my 03 vibe but since my accident it did not happen.

Losthookah

Yessir good ole Miserable Ridge. Besides Deceiver you don't wait for a manual tranny when looking for a Vibe they're hard enough to find

I'm looking to replace my factory HU and wire in new subs. Does anyone have a list of harnesses and such that I will need and where to get them so I can figure out how much I need to save?

Ill post some pics of the new Vibe in the morning after I take some

Losthookah

So I have been lurking in the shadows for about a month now and have decided to finally post. I bought a 2010 Vibe GT in June, slightly used, and love it. Though this was expected since it is NOT my first Vibe. My first car was a gift to me, 03 Vibe with 120k miles but it was free so who cares. When...
