Count me In too.

BlackVGT

Woah man, sorry to take so long, life has been crazy, anyways phone Dwayne or Shelley at Urban Performance ( I forget the number now, doh! He's in the white pages.) and tell them Blake at Partsource sent you.

BlackVGT

Lespaul, sorry for the delay, my guy says he's waaaaaay to crazy at the moment to do them, so I can probably reccomend a different shop. Let me make some calls for you.......

BlackVGT

Hey man, my guy did it for me in under two hours, let me get his phone # and I'll repost, bonus is that he is on the southside, cuz you do live on the southside right?

BlackVGT

So yesterday I went and replaced my front turn signals with Piaa 1157's, hoping to get the same desirable effect as everyone else using the silverstar ones. Anyways, the light up WHITE!!! Not amber, so I quickly ran to the store, got silverstars and they light up WHITE!!! Um, I looked on the forum a...

BlackVGT

Sweet, what offset are you using on those wheels, also, do the 245's rub on the front or back? I wanted to use 245's on my 18's but was afraid of rubbing. Super-nice ride dude.......

BlackVGT

Thought this was great!

Yea I used to work at a Partsource and they pushed silverstars down everyones throat, and every set came back burnt in less than a year. PIAA's are lots of money, but I had a set in my old S10 for nearly 2 years before I sold it, and my GTP had them for about 9 months without any problems. Besides, ...

BlackVGT

Just wondering what everyone uses. Im a foaming at the mouth PIAA user myself.

BlackVGT

Sweet lookin Vibe, I especially like how clean it is, no badges/graphics or anything. I LIKE IT!! I think I might de-badge mine now.....

BlackVGT

Oh, I forgot to ask, and this is seemingly obvious but I wanted to make sure....If I buy an amp that is say 2x50 watts RMS, then I want to match it to 2 subs that are 50 watt RMS? Or how does that all work? Is there some FAQ somewhere that I can read so I can stop bugging you guys?P.S. Thanks for al...

BlackVGT

Wow, thanks for the help so far guys!Im more of a fan of tight bass, and I don't wanna go nuts, I don't listen to rap or anything, Im more of a rock/metal kind of guy anyways. So Im guessing a sealed box? Hmm.....is an enclosure and enclosure or is their major differences between them all? Is it a g...

BlackVGT

This might sound dumb, I've been into cars for years, but never car audio. I don't know much about it, I once put speakers and a deck into my old S10, but I know nothing other than that. So for all you stereo guys out there......1) As far as the vibe goes, what speakers/deck/amp/sub combo's sound go...

BlackVGT

I Used to do it in my 92 GTP, but it had a centerforce clutch and I used to race cars, so I can shift VERY VERY fast. Still thought I was killing my car, only did it when racing. Wouldn't dare doing it in the Vibe, especially with the stock clutch and sloppy shifter.

BlackVGT

A friend of mine bought both DVD's. funnier than hell, its got like 40 or so episodes, took us hours to watch it all, well worth the $40!

BlackVGT

That whole red vs blue show is hilarious.....if you are into halo.

BlackVGT

******Springs and Mirror Came in today (Yay!)********Should have car this week if all goes according to plan.Still no word on wheels.....dammit!

BlackVGT

Hmmmm.... Im confused, for my 03 GT, which part # do I use? The RD7025 that is simply listed as "2003 Vibe 1.8"? Or di I use RD2075 that is listed as "2003 Matrix XRS"? I do want the full she-bang, no short rams here. Also, is the intake different between base Vibe's and GT's?For...

BlackVGT

Ah, well, my Vibe was supposed to be ready on monday, but will be pushed back, possibly for a month or more, as parts are all late or backordered, still can't get a drivers side power mirror from ANYBODY, GM can't help me for at least 2 weeks, my TEIN's are already a week late, and my wheels have go...

BlackVGT

Hey kick (removed)! Those will look nice, ah....only a week and half and the cars finished, can't wait!

BlackVGT

Unfortunately, I live in Canada which means that I have to pay Duty and Taxes on that stuff (25%) and after the exchange rate, I Got em for nearly the same price so......ehhh, thanks for the advice/offer tho!

BlackVGT

Hey thanks NSimkins, I appreciate that. I'd like to go 18x8, not sure what finish to go with, gunmetal or silver? Hmmm, its a black Vibe, can't decide just yet.

BlackVGT

Hey guys, I was originally wanting Mille Miglia Evo5's for my car, kind of expesive and hard to get up here in canada, then I found Falken Torque5's. Anyone able to photoshop these onto a Black Vibe GT? I'd love to get an idea on what they'd look like.P.S. Can't figure out how to attach a pic of the...

BlackVGT

Yes, thanks TRD, I posted this here before I found out about clubvmx, thx.

BlackVGT

Haven't totally decided yet, tho I was leaning to those Ecsta ASX's because of the reviews I keep reading, and because they are pretty cheap compared to similar tires. How do you like them? Good in the rain?

BlackVGT

Shouldn't be too bad, I hear that they are quite reputable and having the tires mounted and balanced on the wheels ahead of time makes shipping much simpler, besides I'd just get them shipped to my work.

BlackVGT

hmmm....website doesn't exist yet......according to the greeting there anyways.

BlackVGT

I recently discovered that Katzkins sells heater elements for seats! (YAY!) Seeing as how I live in a country that spends at least 7 months of the year in sub-zero temps, I want a pair. TRDVibe: I know you have one, how well does it work? Whats the quality like? How easy was it to install? Has it bu...

BlackVGT

PE Tuning Group is a tuner shop in edmonton, anyone heard of them or dealt with them before? They are the dealer for Tein suspension in the city, and I want to put some Tein S-Techs on my Vibe. Just wanna know if anyone has had any experiences with them, and if they were good or bad or whatever. Tha...

BlackVGT

OK, got an update. Currently those wheels are sold out in all of canada for the current season, the only place to get them before next spring is to go to http://www.tirerack.com, not a biggie, as even with the exchange rate and shipping its still much, much cheaper. So looks, like I'll have to do th...

BlackVGT

About 8 years, I love my explorer, a little heavy, but I like it that way!Now I want an ESP neck-thru, but hey, I just bought a Vibe, so no money for that. *Sigh*

BlackVGT

Hey thanks for the invite, but my Vibe won't be ready yet. Next time!

BlackVGT

Yea, my car was originally a two-tone, but 2 of the cladding peices need to be replaced. You can get the grey ones from GM, which are kinda cheap but the paint doesn't stick to em, you can get black prepainted ones but its huge money. Hmmm.....maybe I'll start a new thread asking about two-tone to m...

BlackVGT

Not a big fan of chromies........plus, I Just found out.... my Vibe is a writeoff that I'm getting recertified by an old customer of mine, it was originally a twotone paintjob and now I found out.......YOU CAN'T REPAINT THE CLADDING!!!!!!! Agh! This throws a wrench in my whole plan, I refuse to pay ...

BlackVGT

Um.......exactly the sames ones you have JustinVGT, wow, those DO look nice!

BlackVGT

I found out that Fastech Tire carries em, but not the ones that I want, oh well, prices are decent, about what you'd pay on tirerack.com

BlackVGT

Anyone know if a shop in edmonton handles Mille Miglia wheels? Getting them shipped from the states is awfully expensive. I know that Tire Warehouse doesn't, any other ideas?

BlackVGT

Yea I just got a quote for my rims/tires, $1700CAD shipped to my work (OUCH!) so I may wait just a bit longer. I live on the southside, chances are I've seen ya.

BlackVGT

Yes, I will be installing tein springs, Im just a little worried, im having reccuring nightmares about my 93 S10 I used to have that had 295's on the rear and the problems that caused. To be honest, I don't even know if a company makes a 245/35/18, its kind of an odd size i think, have to check it o...

BlackVGT

Hey thanks for the warm welcome, les paul.....a fellow guitar player im guessing? Good to some people still playing. I agree, havent seen many GT's, seen an awesome looking orange one, but I've never seen one around here with mods or anything. I'll have to get on that !

BlackVGT

Hey guys, I got a 2003 Vibe GT, I would like to put on some Mille Miglia Evo5's (18x8 w/35mm offset 'I think') and would like to know how wide i can go without rubbing or any sort of bad um....stuff.Would a 245/35/18 fit? Its has the closest diameter of all the tires, just 0.1 inches too short (not ...

BlackVGT

Hey there people! Just bought a 2003 Vibe GT yesterday, decided to join the forums. I don't actually get to receive the car till next month, as it's getting recertified. But I plan on doing a few little things to the car. (Wheels/Tires, Intake, Exhaust, suspension, ect) Anyways, glad i found this pl...

BlackVGT

Anyone have pics of their interior neons? I'm looking for some inspiration.

BlackVGT

Hey there guys, new to the forum, just bought a 2003 Vibe GT, and just have a few questions.1) What is CEL and what should it worry me if I install an INJEN CAI?2) How do I fix CEL without a Unichip? (Too expensive)3) I live in canada, and it snows and rains alot, should I stay away from a CAI? I do...
