If you still need one, I can ship you a low mileage OEM unit for $75.

I did scrap chassis, front subframe, hubs, p/s rack saved rear beam, sway bars, heater box, pretty much everything that unbolted I do have the foggy headlights, decent front bumper, the grumpy grindy c60, and all roof rack hardware besides crossbars Sorry it took so long for me to reply...

Very nice looking Vibe my friend. My wife and I bought our first Vibe back in 2010 I think. It had 135,000 miles on it and we bought it for $7,250.00. They were asking $7,500.00 but came down a bit for us. It was a base model 2003. Before buying it they let us take it home with us for the weekend s...

klutzycarlover

I want it if you still have it. You take paypal?

klutzycarlover

Oh wow. That's a deal. You got lucky with that one, congrats! Would love to see some pictures of your vibe when it's done!!

Also, would you consider selling to old kit, now that you have a fresh one?

klutzycarlover

Your best bet is to have a body shop fix it. Probably $150-250 if it's pretty minor. The GM body kit is relatively rare and expensive. Or hell, if you don't care for it all that much, you could sell the whole kit here. :mrgreen: :twisted: :lol: Many of us would love to have one, even with a crack. :D

klutzycarlover

You didn't scrap it yet, did you? Also, I want those headlights, front bumper, and rear roof rack cap(p/s) if you have it. I lost my roof rack hardware, do you have any of it by chance? I might have a use for that c60. Mine sounds like it's about to go, I don't think it will like 300hp much. I'm hop...

klutzycarlover

Wow! Incredibly low mileage. Hope to see those pictures soon. I'm about to install rally armor mud flaps as well. As for the intake, I would just make one if you're handy and have a few tools. Or, just remove the intake baffling like I did. Sounds pretty good for free. I would have made an actual co...

I have a Vibe GT with cruise control that works well. I don't want cruise control. Well, actually it's nice to have, but racecars don't have 'em. Plus, it gets in the way of where my turbo is going. So, If you would like cruise control, I would like to trade for your throttle cable. I will send the ...

klutzycarlover

If you still have it, I need that 2zz block and girdle. I just need it for research and measurements.

klutzycarlover

Wow, 333k miles? What a beast.... Anyway, I think it's 16 guage for the injectors, or maybe 20. I'll check. That's going to be a hell of a project to get that new wire in.. You're positive the wire is bad? Maybe just the connector. It's more likely that the crimp got loose vs. the wire breaking or s...

klutzycarlover

I would love that sub and enclosure. Let me know if he decides not to buy it. And I need that roof rack cap, and the hardware to the roof rack if you have it. Oh, and if you could post pictures of all the stuff together, that would be great. I can't remember all the stuff I need, and pictures of wha...

klutzycarlover

Sweet!! Yes!! Glad to have more people in 1st gen Vibe GT's (the best Vibe GT)!!

Hope to see more posts from you....

klutzycarlover

Okay. Ya, so just take off the manifold then. Should be pretty simple.

klutzycarlover

Half covered? The small 3/8ths air injection holes, right? Not the actual exhaust ports?

The air injection holes should be completely uncovered when you remove the heat shield.

klutzycarlover

No, you shouldn't have to.

klutzycarlover

So you're positive that is the problem? If so... Remove the heat shield if it is in the way. It's really tight back there, so it will be difficult. Get a tap handle at a hardware store if you don't already have one. Put a bit of grease on the tap, and tap the holes. The grease will prevent most of t...

klutzycarlover

If it is indeed a 2zz, the only issue I could think of is the injection ports. 2003 was the last year for the 2zz without air injection. This is a very simple solution, buy this kit from MWR, and just tap the holes in the head, and install the plugs. http://www.monkeywrenchracing.com/product_info.ph...

klutzycarlover

Ever get the idle figured out? Yes. Combination of dirty maf, throttle body, and iac. After cleaning all those, it got much better. But my throttle body needs replacement, because it has play side to side, which causes it to catch a little high, or catches when fully closed to cause the throttle to...

Quick update, will go into detail later. With many pictures. I got the stage 3 F1 ebay clutch kit with lightweight flywheel. It's been about 2k miles since the install, and It works fairly well. Put a fart can on it. It was as a joke, but it actually looks cool, and sounds surprisingly good. Video s...

klutzycarlover

Also, did you get rid of that high mileage 2zz head? I need a spare one to build for my super secret build.

klutzycarlover

I need the rear roof rack caps, and fog lights.

klutzycarlover

fog lights still good? Also, I could use the rear roof rack caps if you can get them off in good shape. Klutzycarlover, I'm unable to send you a personal message but regarding a rear cap, is this what you are looking for? https://pittsburgh.craigslist.org/pts/4369345119.html" onclick="win...

klutzycarlover

I can't do that right now. I just had to buy a clutch and flywheel today.
My passenger side roof rack cap flew off at 110 mph. Would you do $15 for just that cap?

klutzycarlover

klutzycarlover

Let me know if you have the rear roof caps. Thanks.

klutzycarlover

Wasn't sure if you sold the fog-lights already. Oh, and also the rear passenger side roof rack cap. Let me know with shipping to 89141 if you still have them.

klutzycarlover

passenger side, rear roof rail cap?

klutzycarlover

I need the two rear roof rack caps, fog lights, and throttle body.
Let me know what you still have. Thanks!

klutzycarlover

I Just swapped my head unit. I can post/send pictures of it if you want.

I'm about to pick up some XXR 522s. I've always loved how these rims, and the Rota copies looked. I found a decent set on CL that just needs some minor rash repaired, and a powdercoat. I know the rears will fit, thanks to Mariachi with his XXR 530s. Im just not sure how much the front will rub, once...

Great thanks!

Awesome photo of your vibe without the hood! Did you take it off at the show? Where did you put it?

This would be your best option IMO. There are many people one here, and Matrixowners that would be interested in the parts you remove. I know I would be.

klutzycarlover

What size are those 530s? I absolutely love how your Vibe looks! Please post more pictures!

klutzycarlover

Here's what I did about a week ago. I cleaned the crap (wow, really? c-r-a-p?) out of my IAC, TB, MAF sensor, and PCV. Here you can see how dirty my TB was: http://i1205.photobucket.com/albums/bb433/joeysmitt/P1140036_zpsfa656c33.jpg Closer look after pulling it out: http://i1205.photobucket.com/alb...

klutzycarlover

Absolutely love the build so far! Can't wait to see more!

So.... What are you doing with that old clutch of yours? I wouldn't mind taking it off your hands for you!

PM me if you still have it, hopefully we can work out a deal on price/shipping.

Okay, so my budget is cut short now, I may have been doing double the speed limit coming back from school, and there may have been a motorcycle cop hidden around the corner. :roll: So I'm thinking of ordering the cheapest clutch kit on eBay, or one of those stage 2 clutch kits for less than $100.

Welcome fellow uh... vibe owner?!! Love the GT, I wish I had the AWD and extra 60 hp. 1. I am about to install my F1 stage 1 clutch and fidazna flywheel. Got on ebay for $80 (clutch) and $300 (flywheel). The suggested retail for the clutch is $540 on f1-racing site. Some people hate on clutch brand...

klutzycarlover

The clutch is something you want to do right the first time, and don't want to over do it. Obviously, if you are looking to go FI at some point the stock clutch won't do. At the same time there is no reason to go overboard and get a clutch rated at 350ft/lb. I would recommend the "Competition ...

Hello all, I recently just bought a 2003 Pontiac Vibe GT in silver. 150k miles 1 owner no rust paint is decent considering the rock chips and the dent on the rear bumber, and a few scrapes here and there sunroof I never thought I would own a Pontiac in a million years. After going through 3 problema...
