That's not a valve cover, it's an engine cover. However, yes, it will fit the 1ZZ base Vibe engine.

Quote, originally posted by TRD4reel Â»Has any noticed this, I know I have. I noticed on the Celica GT, the horsepower rating is at 140. Weird thing is that the same motor is in our cars. The 1zz.

NovaResource2

Yeah, why. They are sealed and like was said, should last 100K miles (or more). To remove one you need to remove the wheel, remove the caliper, remove the rotor, remove the large nut in the center of the axle, remove a few bolts (3 or 4 via a hole in the wheel stud mounting surface), remove the bear...

The Sunfire is no more a girls car than the Cavalier. GM J-bodys were great cars. I've owned 3 and all were excellent cars. My '93 Sunbird was quicker than a Vibe GT.I'm pissed that the Solstice coupe is not being produced. I'll bet the Sunfires replacement won't be a RWD car like the Solstice is.

I do 99% city driving and about 6000 miles a year. I change the oil in all my cars when they reach 2500 miles and put in standard oil. When the car reaches 5000 miles the motor is well broken in and I switch to synthetic oil. Then I change with synthetic every 5000 miles after that.

While many here dislike the Vibes auto headlights (yes, they were a little too sensitive) I liked them and missed the feature when I bought my Tiburon. Well, no longer. I found that Korean Tiburons have the auto headlight feature. Not only that, the US Tiburons have the wiring there for it to work. ...

Are you sure you got all the screws? Are you sure you got the correct screws? It should just fall out.

I voted for the Scion tC. It is an awesome car. If it was a little bigger, I would have considered it. The sunroof is awesome but limits the headroom I need (6'2").I'd also suggest the Hyundai Tiburon (I just got one). The GT has a 172-hp 2.7L V6 for under $20K. The base has a 138-hp 2.0L 4-cyl...

Quote, originally posted by Psychobroker Â»No doubt, there's a ton of potential with that 2.4L, but I too was sick of tiny 2-doors.And that is the one of the reasons Toyota is killing the Celica. Alot of people feel like you do.

NovaResource2

I like it, but it's too small inside for me. The sunroof is standard and takes up alot of headroom. That's not good me at 6'2". The only thing I dislike about the design is how far back the rear wheels are pushed on the body. It just looke a little funny but otherwise it's a nice looking car.

The Mazda 3 is basically just a Ford Focus. No thanks.

It is common for a fuel injected engine to do that. Remember, fuel injection depends on fuel pressure to spray. It takes a second or two for the fuel pump to build pressure, especially if you turn the key from LOCK directly to START. I always turn the key from LOCK to ON and pause a second for the f...

Welcome! Great choice of car.

I got to drive the Bonneville GXP last weekend at the "GM In Motion" test drive. It's a very nice and quick car. The GTO and SSR were also very nice. All are way too much money but drove great.

I replaced mine but if you want, you could buy my original one (cheap) and install it to have dual horns for a little more volume.

If anyone is interested in buying my Vibe, the dealership I traded it it at has it on their webpage:http://www.burlingtonautopark....ngtonIt's listed for $16.995 and they gave me $13,695 for it. 12,600 miles.

Quote, originally posted by drummerdude Â»looks to me like they fixed the whole M&T and 17" wheel issue... That vibe looks to have the 17"s am i mistaken... Have they fixed it?Actually, that was changed last year. You could get 17's with the M&T package on the '04 Vibe.

NovaResource2

17" x 7" are the same size as the factory 17" wheels. It's also what I had on my Vibe. However, 205/40-17 tire are way too small (23.5" tall). The factory size is 215/50-17 (25.5" tall). That's a full 2 inches. And your speedo will be off by 8.6% (too fast).
