Anyone hear anything about f/i for the new ones? I had an 03' vibe GT and when I got a new job i upgraded to the MazdaSpeed6 GT (very nice car). Now I saw they had the new vibe GT and all those old feelings just came rushing back... I miss my old GT but a new one could def. make me feel better.

drummerdude

I've had the vibe for about 3 years now, love it to death. I recently was walking away from my car and noticed that the parking lights didn't flash when i locked it. However, i heard the doors lock. so i figured there was a lighting problem... Today i noticed my front passenger door was unlocked as ...

Thanks guys for your advice. I did what Madbill said. I figured it out right after I got offline last night. I freaked out when I saw it. I had just hit 130+ racing a stupid v6 Grand Am. I'm lucky to be alive... I have a feeling that now I'll check those stupid nuts before I drive anywhere.

Alright, someone with gm part # access... can you explain these 3 part numbers.889721128897211388972114The dealer here gave me these part be numbers for the Vibe rear shocks... Can someone give me a part desc on them? Thanks!

drummerdude

Ok, as most of you know. I blew my two rear struts about a month ago. KYB and their "Authorized Dealer". KYB has a part number for the vibe. The dealer told me that he had contact his distributor then KYB directly to try and find the part number alone. KYB has the part number but yet they ...

Well Crap! I Blew it! that's right, my right rear strut!

Ok, Seriously... I don't care how you look at it having a car up on 3 jack stands with the engine racing and the wheels spinning at 147mph... this isn't a good idea.

I'll check with the dealership down here and see how enthusiastic they are about it! We'll see!

Ok, this is probably going to be a stupid question, however I've wondered exactly what it is and I've never been able to figure it out. What is double clutching? Like the quote from fast and furious in reference to the cop's driving skills... "You're not double clutching like you should be.&quo...

Quote, originally posted by RIT Â»Here is a better, and less intrusive way. From a dead stop, put on your emergency brake, and then put the car in 5th gear. Now, slowly release the clutch without giving any gas. The car SHOULD stall if the clutch is OK. If the clutch slips, the the engine will conti...

drummerdude

Quote, originally posted by vibegtdriver Â»The one characteristic of the GT is that its clutch takes some getting used to (I don't recall the 5-speed's clutch being so touchy).

Quote, originally posted by Smokin' Rubber Â»I know this isn't quite relavent to the 5 speed but I noticed that above certain speeds the GT's gearbox has some kind of safety feature that makes it hard to downshift into first gear.

Just let me know if you want me to set something up!

I might be able to hook something up at a dealership in Waxahachie... Its about 25-30 minutes south of Dallas on Hwy 35E. It would be closer for all you houston guys that would be coming up 45.

The GT is geared for accellerating at higher engine speeds (shorter gears) where as the base has tall gears which is made for cruising and fuel effeciency... i have no doubt that i would most likely be killed by develop or faultline... but just a base with a gm supercharger, whether auto or manual.....
