So I replaced the original clutch 2 years ago with an OEM replacement from exedy. Probably a bad move on my part, as it is starting to slip if I try to accelerate in 6th gear on the highway. (removed)!!! The car has 86,000 miles on it - how could it have gone through 2 clutches already?! I'll admit ...

Puckman27

any pics of your interior DA1? I've been thinking about replacing the headliner with a nicer material. you know... to fix the rattle from the sunroof controls.

For those that have installed their shift boot, how did you get boot to stay in place? The wire and the leather is too thick to snap back into the OEM locations that held the original boot in place.

Puckman27

you should've waited for that SRT Caravan that was at the show!Chrysler/Dodge will slap SRT on anything these days!

Puckman27

I went to the show today. The Vibe there just reinforced my opinions that the new '09 Vibe is a hideous mistake. The matrix that was there was actually pretty sharp compared to the Vibe. And yes, I was extremely dissappointed that I wasn't able to sit in the G8 GT (hopefully my next car). Oh well. T...

Puckman27

That happened to a teammate of mine in high school. Thank god there was a hospital behind the rink we were at. I've never seen somebody go into shock like that, or so much blood. He checked a guy in the corner, the guy fell and his skate came up and sliced my teammate in the neck. It was something l...

Puckman27

oh no, its a GT!!!

Puckman27

anybody know of a place online that I can order the DRL relay? these kind of parts are really hard to find!

Puckman27

Thanks for the research Joatmon. Do you think that module is something i would be able to easily replace (like unplug/connect the bad and plug-in the new)? or is the dealer's assistance required for something like that?

Puckman27

Nope, DRL's and low-beams don't work, but everything else does. However, none of the lights come on automatically now.

Puckman27

ok, things just got worsegot the clutch replaced, which meant that the battery was disconnected. As i said in this post months ago, the low-beams didn't want to come on all of the time. Well, now they won't come on at all. I just replaced the bulbs, the 30amp headlight fuse and two 15amp headlight f...

Puckman27

this car is one ugly step in the wrong direction. the good looks of the current vibe are gone. its very misproportioned (interior and especially the exterior). and whoever designed the head- and tail-lights needs to be fired. they look ok from a distance, but the closeups are fugly. its also not too...

Puckman27

hot........ and if those pics don't help, go watch Goldeneye. If you still think she's not hot something is wrong.

Puckman27

i'm gonna have to say ... yikes... at least until i see more pictures of it. gm has never been the best at taking great pictures of their cars. but i didn't like the odd interior (well, the dash/gauge cluster), and that exterior pic isn't helping.

Puckman27

i'm in if theres enough peopleGO WINGS

Puckman27

just repeating what jimincalif said, MB was placed last in a consumer's report for quality/reliability about a year ago. That merger with chrysler helped chrysler out and hurt benz. yeah, i wouldn't spend 30k on a brand new car, specially a chrysler or MB. you could get a much better used car (even ...

Puckman27

so i decided to check on my radiator fan today cuz its never seemed to have been working properly as long as i can remember. well, turns out it was on crooked and partially detached from the fan motor. i took it off and found that the teeth on the 'quality' plastic fan blade were torn to shreds. eve...

Puckman27

go to ebay and get the fluance system. sounds awesome, they are built really really well, and the best part is that they don't cost an arm and a leg. course you'd still need to shop around for a powered sub and a 5.1 receiver. i got my harmon/kardon receiver on ebay cheaper than i got the speakers. ...

Puckman27

well, i can see the lines of a TL from the back. not that its a bad thing ; i really like the TL...... and Holden makes some of the best looking cars IMO, so i already love the G8and thats before i start talking about the v8 and the six speed and the interior (to name a few)

Puckman27

that silver Holden is most likely a test mule for the new Pontiac G8....... and i really want one of those

Puckman27

the grand am wagon is silver with red/white/blue pinstripes, and white honeycomb wheelsyou might not have seen us though, we only got as far south as maple cuz the worlds most insane traffic jam was causing my uncle's 75 trans am to overheat, so we went north into pontiac, which was pretty packed bu...

Puckman27

we cruised around for about 2 hours in my grandpa's 1973 pontiac grand am wagon... yeah i said wagon.... he developed it as a prototype but it never got to production...... had a 455 in it and it can movewish i could put a 455 in the vibe! that'd be a wagon

Puckman27

got 'em..... they look great!!! thanks!!!

Puckman27

awesome, thanks a lot

Puckman27

anybody know where to buy the clutches that Fidanza sells for the Vibe GT? They've got them listed on their applications sheet.http://www.fidanza.com/Files/clutchappguide.pdf

Puckman27

Payment sent... popup blocker kept me from seeing BlueCrush's IM!

Puckman27

thats horrible... such a waste... they were so young, whole (really short) life ahead of them

Puckman27

shouldn't cost too much, i'm in19U/WA546G Abyss 1 set (2dr/1hatch)

Puckman27

its nothing about being lazy, its just habit now.... i've gotten so used to not even thinking about turning the headlights on, both cars i've had in my short life have both had automatic lights... and like i read in another post, i don't get why they aren't a standard thing on every car nowadaysthan...

Puckman27

the past week or two my auto headlights will randomly decide to not work when i start the car at night. normally after the parking brake is released the DRL's come on, but even those won't light up at first. last night i had to manually flip the lights on twice... the first time the fog lights came ...

Puckman27

i've been on facebook for a while....... its much better than myspace imothe cool part is that its gotten like myspace in that they'll let anybody sign up now, you don't need a school email... you can join networks of cities you've lived in or where you've worked and stuff like that

Puckman27

the beat looks like the evil little sibling of the vibe!

Puckman27

yeah i've been wanting to for a while, just no money... what do you guys think:ACT, SPEC, or that Exedy clutch i keep seeing on eBay?

Puckman27

42,000, somewhere around there

Puckman27

i think my car is trying to tell me that she wants a new clutch, but i just wanted to make sure that i'm right about this. lately when i get on the highway, after i shift into the next gear and hit the gas, the engine revs way up say, from 2k to 5-6k, then drops back down to normal rpms and finally ...

Puckman27

when i got my vibe the factory HU and M&T amp was removed by the previous owner so they could put in an aftermarket system. Now i've got a Kenwood HU and Kenwood's iPod controller/connection and i love it. the sound from the iPod through the direct connection beats anything out there and i still...

Puckman27

has anybody here tried those PowerSlot rotors yet?

Puckman27

What does everyone feel is a good price for new rotors and pads on the front braks. Midas quoted me $581 for 2 new rotors and 2 new pads. yeah, i thought that was a little high. do you think it'd be cheaper for me to buy the parts and take them to a shop to install them. i don't have the tools or wo...

Puckman27

they should do that for the rest of the lineup, thats a very cool way to build a car

Puckman27

i had to replace a bearing in my front left assembly @ 38,000 miles, which really blew my mind cuz they should go a lot longer than that.

Puckman27

i think its a standard katzkin logo too!well they get an A for effort, thats a good amount of money to put in a car, to sell it and be lucky to get 1/2 the money back that was put into it.

Puckman27

I'm not bashing your Torrent in any way here cuz i like them too, but a Pontiac Torrent = Chevy Equinox in the same way that a Pontiac G5 = Chevy Cobalt. They just slapped on a new front end on the Pontiacs, everything else is the same that the original Chevy's have. I wish they would at least put a...

k, articles like this one are so pointlessGerman cars don't have cupholders and all the other crap that our cars have because IT IS ILLEGAL to do anything on the autobahn but drive your car. No talking on cell phones (i think handsfree might be ok), no eating/drinking while driving, etc. besides, th...
