Finally got my teins and tokicos installed. Looks great and rides like its on rails. But the rears wheels are cambered in pretty bad and also seemed to be toed in ! And from what I am told there are no alignment adjustments for the rears. I know to wait a week for the alignment job. Just wondering i...

discojunkie76

So 3/4 of an inch on the front is enough? cool, what about the rears, it lists .8 so would half inch be ok ? Or should I take off the whole .8.

discojunkie76

So my teins came in and its telling me to cut the rubber bump stops. however im a bit confused about this rubber chart that they sent me it says cut "A" 1.2 for the front... 1.2 inches ? What exactly is that. Like in inch and a quarter? And how accurate do I need to be, I totally do not wa...

discojunkie76

So I have to rip out the whole rear of my car to change my struts and springs? If so any do's and don't dos would be appreciated.

discojunkie76

Just wondering wich you all thought was the better investment, also a good place to order them from. these will work with my tokico s i just ordered too right?

discojunkie76

Got a little cash to spend, just wondering if anyone has any suggestions for computer mods such as a chip or a reprogramer for my 05 base vibe with 90k that is in need of a power lift also thinking about a CAI however i have heard mixed reviews about the cai, more bad than good.

discojunkie76

So these WILL fit my 05 base vibe even though they are listed for the matrix. I also cant believe that they are going so cheap. I priced kyb's and they were over 400 bucks. But im totally down to get them if you think theyre worth it. Other than the boots is there anything else that needs to be purc...

My 05's drivers side seat has started to squeak everytime i turn or basically move at all while im sitting in it. and when I push back it seems to lean to the right I believe this has something to do with the height adjustment since it does not move if it is all the way down, just wondering if anyon...

discojunkie76

my 05 base vibe, which has electronic throttle controll as you all know, has been acting up. At idle some times it drops to 600 or 500 rpms and vibrates terribly, however if I gently put my foot on the throttle It will raise up to 7 or 800 or wherever it used to be and stay there. sometimes when I g...

Just wondering what kind of tool is needed to remover the tensioner pully bolt, looks odd. Where if any , could I rent one.

discojunkie76

I believe my 05 Base vibe belt tensioner is slowly giving up on me. I had it replaced once under warranty, however it is making a different noise now. It seems to be noisier when the engine is cold, at low rpms and when the car is in gear. after accelerating from a stop sighn or light you can hear a...

discojunkie76

My rear hatch pontiac logo has faded from sunlight so now it is a pink color instead of red. I was going to remove it, I think it will look better personaly, however, I wanted to know if there are locating tabs or holes on the body itself.

discojunkie76

Still got a rough Idle MAF's been cleaned, plugs are good, and now it seems to stumble on acceleration, however in the almighty owners manual, it says to check for tappet noise and or rough idle at 60k miles (I got 56k), if either present adjust valves to specs, I remember this being a common cure a...

discojunkie76

all stock (base model) except drop in k&n and its just been cleaned. What is the best way to clean the TB? since its all electric.

discojunkie76

The rice bearing thing was a joke.... asian import car made of rice, rice burner, rice bearings, rice pads etc.etc

discojunkie76

I've been having trouble with a rough Idle, and been told it could be electrical. The voltage level on the battery is roughly 13.7 volts at idle, however In gear it seems to drop slowly to about 12.7 volts, and the idle is really rough, and has been getting worse in the last few weeks or so, I use t...

discojunkie76

yeah it idles rough in park and in gear. Seems I have noticed the alternator might not pumping out enough juice sometimes. I didn't think to check it I'll give it a shot

discojunkie76

my base 05 has been having a rough idle lately all other engine operation is fine, and I just changed the plugs recently. I'm thinking fuel filter, not sure where it is located, ideas anyone?

discojunkie76

When i fire up the a/c I get a nasty musty smell wondering if anyone else has had this problem, I'm pretty sure it's not the cabin filter either.

discojunkie76

any special way to remove it, cause it seems fused with the air box, I'd like to avoid breaking it if possible

discojunkie76

just wondering what the best methods are for cleaning the seats (laundry detergent has so far failed)

discojunkie76

got an 05 base automatic, the gm dealer told me $13.00 per quart on the type IV trans fluid, and I can't seem to find it at any of the local parts stores, so am I just that lucky that I'm gonna have to drop $50.00+ for 4 quarts of fluid or am I getting bamboozled by my local Pontiac dealer.

discojunkie76

Just wondering if anyone else thought the base vibe vvt-i engine sounded like a sewing machine? especially at idle. I find 93 oct fuel dulls the "ticking" noise a little, anyone else notice this or did i get a lemon?

discojunkie76

well its obvious the people at cc & bb dont have a clue cause at first they sold me a harness for a matrix and told me that it would work( I should have pulled the stock radio first). Any way it wasn't even close. than they proceded to tell me that the harness that I needed was $120.00. Well gue...

discojunkie76

I was wondering if anyone has any idea where i might be able to find a wire harness for an aftermarket radio on an 05. Ive come to realize that the 05 stock radio has a different harness than 04 and below. I have been able to find them at local stores (best buy, circuit city) however they are asking...

discojunkie76

you're just mad because your front end looks like a sunfire!! (this is not a compliment) Don't hate on the sportier (yet less aggressive) 05 front end. i own one and I love it, if you are a true vibe fan you will accept it and eventually come to appreciate it, cause it was not going to stay the same...

discojunkie76

There is a couple of wires attatched to the seat belt connection, cut one (i suggest you do it under the seat, incase you want to reattach it). And it will make the car think the seatbelt is buckled, however, if you don't wear your seatbelt anyway you are not too smart but the beep is REALLY annoyin...

discojunkie76

05 front end is way better than previous models, the previous model front end looked to much like a sunfire. Unless you own one you will probobly always hate it.

discojunkie76

05 is missing: roof rack bars ($350.00) option from dealer (screw it). thats all i know of.

discojunkie76

Your driver window is autodown, my 05 is anyway, and you have 4 way programmable power door locks, read the manual, you can have them lock when you shift into gear, or unlock when engine is shut off and a few other ways. just check the mannual

discojunkie76

I originally was going to pay roughly 230.00 a month for my 05 base vibe, wich was ok. The 04 was only about 10.00 more, with lower financing though. But I took my father with, who has been physically removed from 3 dealerships before. So after everything was all said and done Im at 208.00 and the d...

discojunkie76

You think thats bad, It was 3 days before I even noticed the front end had been re-designed!!!! I hated it at first but now have have come to love it. Smooooth.

discojunkie76

Blue would be sweet, however everyone who has seen my dash has said it looks awesome. I personally love the guage display. Im sure someone will come up with something eventually.

discojunkie76

Dont worry I smoke in my car everyday, (with the windows down of course) The smell will go away, just leave the windows open over night and use the resirculate option on your climate control, if your severely worried aboot it eh, purchase some auto febreeze, the stuff is great. smoke smell is nothin...

discojunkie76

I have an 05 vibe, and the dashboard has that dull matte finish, anyway a cd fell out of my visor and made a shiny scratch on the dash and I can't get rid of it, its driving me nuts!!! i was thinking of using a high gloss armor all just to make the whole dash look shiny? Anyone have any suggestions ...

discojunkie76

Yo I just picked up a 05 vibe and was wondering about body accesories, such as grilles, or ground effects, or any other cool ****.
